Courage Comes from Trusting God, Not Control

The Week Ahead: Spiritual Hope & Strength with Ken Robinson

Courage Comes from Trusting God, Not Control

Do you ever feel like the more you try to control things, the more anxious you become? Maybe you’ve planned every detail, fixed every problem, or held tightly to a situation—only to realise it’s still slipping through your fingers. The truth is, real courage doesn’t come from control. It comes from trust.

In this week’s episode of The Week Ahead Podcast with Ken Robinson, we explore how courage is born, not from having all the answers, but from trusting the God who is always with us. Ken opens the Bible to Proverbs 3:5–6—“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” This simple but powerful truth reminds us that our confidence is not in our ability to hold everything together, but in God’s faithfulness to guide and strengthen us.

Through everyday stories and down-to-earth encouragement, Ken unpacks why control is such a heavy burden, how trust lightens the load, and how to take small, practical steps of courage in daily life. From letting go of what you can’t control, to praying simple prayers of trust, you’ll find fresh courage to face the week ahead.

So if fear has been whispering “what if?” into your heart, this episode will encourage you to take a new approach: to trust God with the unknown and step forward with courage.
