What Is Your Life? A Biblical Challenge to Self-Reliant Living

In this episode, we reflect on James 4:13–17 and confront a challenging question: What is your life? James warns believers—especially those who are well-resourced—not to plan and live as if they are in control. This isn’t a condemnation of planning but a call to acknowledge the sovereignty of God in our decisions. Pastor Coston contrasts worldly wisdom, which leans on self-sufficiency and wealth, with godly wisdom that submits to the Lord's will. Through vivid illustrations and direct questions, we are invited to examine our worldview: Are we living as if we own our lives, or as if our lives belong to God? Listen in as we unpack the dangers of “affluenza,” the illusion of control, and the necessity of planning with eternity in mind.
