Expectancy For Us All. In this episode we pull from the interview Paul did for the Wm Paul Young Initiative about his relationship with his father and how living without expectations helped them reconcile. The Wm. Paul Young Initiative, Inc. A Conversation with Paul Young | Part One Audio Producer: Loyd Rieves Intro Music by: Luke Dimond
Paul Young delves into the profound difference between expectation and expectancy, explaining that expectations, rooted in future projections and a need for control, inevitably lead to disappointment and "future tripping." In contrast, expectancy is presented as a present-tense, wide-open way of living that views everything as a gift and aligns with "today's grace," ultimately freeing one from the need to control outcomes. The discussion includes theological insights on God's knowing nature and capacity to grieve, contrasting it with human disappointment.
In this Good Friday episode, Paul Young explores the theological meaning of Jesus's death conquering death, weaving in deeply personal stories of grief. He shares emails from listeners who have experienced profound loss, including a mother using his poem for her son's tombstone. The episode culminates with his daughter Lexi's powerful lullaby and a new song written in response to the loss of her son, Keith, highlighting the hope found in shared grief and faith.
