Who’s Really in Control? | Hardship & Choosing Good in a Hurtful World | Romans 12:21 with Ash Couchman

It’s a confronting question… but an important one:
Who is on the throne of your life?

In this solo episode, we unpack Romans 12:21 — “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” But this isn’t just about avoiding obvious sin. It’s about what dictates our obedience.

Are we reacting out of hurt, pride, frustration, and emotion? Or are we allowing God to shape the way we love, forgive, and respond?

Paul’s words were radically countercultural in his time — and honestly, they still are. Choosing kindness over revenge. Peace over retaliation. Goodness over ego. It’s not natural. It’s surrendered.

We talk about:

• What it really means to not be “overcome” by evil

• How easily we put ourselves back on the throne

• Why obedience is so much harder when our emotions are in control

• And how to live a life where God truly dictates our response

If you’ve been wrestling with disappointment, hurt, or difficult relationships lately — this one’s for you.
