  • God's mercy invites us to respond rather than commands us.
  • Our defeats can be moments where God's grace operates.

Colin Cook takes you on a journey through Romans chapter 12, verse 1, exploring the profound relationship between God's sovereignty and human responsibility.

It's a dance between divine mercy and human choice, where the Holy Spirit breathes life into our souls even when we feel at our lowest.
Colin reflects on how God's mercy is not a command but an appeal, encouraging us to present ourselves—flaws and all—to Him.

This episode is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, God's grace operates. So, if you're searching for hope or struggling with addiction, this episode is an invitation to see your journey through a lens of mercy and love. Tune in to discover how shifting your focus can transform your faith and life.
