The more we seek it, the more it eludes us. It promises certainty but delivers anxiety. God offers something far better. Discover His surprising answer to break free, find peace, and escape the illusion of control. Tune in to our CCV Online church experience streaming from Phoenix, Arizona, and hear from CCV’s Senior Pastor, Ashley Wooldridge. Ashley explores humanity’s deep struggle with the desire to control every aspect of life. Drawing from the story of Adam and Eve in Genesis, it reveals how control is rooted in doubting God’s goodness and fueled by the drive for autonomy. The message unpacks how the pursuit of control often creates greater chaos, fear, and anxiety instead of security. Through biblical examples and timeless truth, it shows that peace is found not in grasping for control but in surrendering it.
