    You’re Not in Control, You’re Just Scared w/ Caleb Cole

    What if control is not really about control at all, but about fear? In this episode of the Project Sisterhood Podcast, Chrissy Cole is joined by Caleb Cole for an honest conversation about surrender, insecurity, marriage, passivity, pride, and learning to trust God with the places we are tempted to control. Chrissy shares openly about a season where fear and insecurity surfaced in her marriage, and how the question “then what?” helped her face what was really happening underneath. Together, Chrissy and Caleb talk about the illusion of control, the difference between leading and controlling, and how God uses uncomfortable seasons to bring healing, freedom, and deeper surrender. — — — — — — — — — — If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend and leave a review — it helps more women find Project Sisterhood 💛 🎧 Listen to Project Sisterhood: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/12Mzxkt8WDImuZJpu90b7N?si=a5208fcedd2c44f7 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/project-sisterhood/id1446342345 📲 Follow Project Sisterhood on Instagram: Instagram: @projectsisterhood ⛪️ Project Church: Website: https://projectchurch.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/projectchurchsac — — — — — — — — — — Click here to view the episode transcript.
