Episode notes
The Daily Choice
- We face a daily choice to surrender to God's pursuit or to reject it, asserting our independence.
- This constant choice shapes us, making us either heavenly or hellish creatures destined for our chosen path.
Small Choices, Big Impact
- Each small choice shapes us, contributing to our spiritual ascent or descent.
- Focus on present choices, not past regrets or future anxieties, as advised by Screwtape.
Good Infection
- While our choices matter, God's sovereignty underpins them, like an author guiding a story.
- We actively participate, yet God's plan ultimately unfolds, similar to characters in a pre-written narrative.
