You Are Not In Control {Reflections}

Central Lutheran Church - Elk River

Imagine being caught in a relentless storm in the Boundary Waters, where you have no choice but to surrender to the elements. In this episode, we unpack the profound lessons learned when we let go of control and face nature's unpredictability head-on. Through personal anecdotes and vivid storytelling, we discuss how such harrowing experiences teach us resilience and the acceptance of life's uncertainties. These lessons, as daunting as they may seem, prepare us for various challenges, fostering personal growth and strengthening our character.
Shifting gears, we emphasize the importance of imparting these lessons of relinquishing control to young individuals early in their lives. Activities like camping and wilderness adventures serve as powerful tools to instill an understanding that some forces are beyond our grasp. Drawing from Richard Rohr's concept of the "great defeat," we explore how recognizing our limitations makes us more adaptable and resilient.
