Growing Forward Episode 29: Striving, Scheming, or Surrender

In this episode of Growing Forward, Pastor Andy Comer unpacks the theme of manipulation through the dynamics of Genesis 30. Using Rachel, Leah, Reuben, and Jacob’s stories, he shows how our desire for control often reveals a lack of trust in God—and he offers four practical biblical steps to move from scheming to surrender:

  1. Guard your heart
  2. Stop the striving
  3. Practice contentment
  4. Wait on the Lord.

If you’ve ever tried to force an outcome in your life, this message will help you trade manipulation for genuine freedom and rest in Christ.
