Episode Overview
- Faith is presented as a rational choice in light of God's mercy.

"Isn't it reasonable, then, to present ourselves to Him? Of course it is."
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', listeners are invited to explore the concept of presenting oneself to God as a rational act. Colin Cook takes us on a journey through Romans 12:1, emphasising the merciful nature of God and how this mercy invites us to offer ourselves as living sacrifices. It's not about being perfect or having everything figured out, but rather about acknowledging our brokenness and trusting in God's kindness.
Cook draws on his personal experiences, from his early days in the advertising world to his current ministry work, to illustrate how faith can guide us through life's uncertainties. He challenges the notion that serving God is irrational, presenting it instead as a reasonable response to the divine care that surrounds us. The episode is peppered with anecdotes and metaphors that make the complex theological concepts accessible and relatable.
Whether you're grappling with addiction or simply seeking a deeper understanding of faith, this episode offers a compassionate and thoughtful perspective. So, if you've ever questioned the role of faith in your life or wondered how to serve a higher purpose amidst personal struggles, Colin Cook's reflections might just provide the clarity and encouragement you need.
