Episode notes
Worry Is Futile Before Providence
- Jesus teaches that anxiety about basic needs is futile because it cannot add any value to life.

Father's Example Of Trust
- R.C. Sproul recalls his father living through paralysis while trusting the verse "take no thought for tomorrow."
- That example shaped Sproul's early resistance and later wrestling with the text's demand on faith.
Providence Reframes Anxiety
