This week, we kick off a new series on commonly misinterpreted passages of Scripture, starting with Romans 8:28. We unpack what it really means when Scripture says “all things work together for good,” challenging misconceptions about God’s sovereignty, suffering, and Christian growth.Topics we discuss:<ul>
<li>How we misunderstand God’s definition of “good”</li>
<li>What Paul means by “all things”</li>
<li>Why Romans 8:28 isn’t a promise that life will be easy</li>
<li>The difference between God’s sovereignty and hard determinism</li>
<li>How this verse gets used (and misused) in Christian culture</li>
<li>Why “God’s plan” isn’t always what we expect—and why that’s a good thing</li>
<li>How this verse challenges our assumptions about suffering, success, and faith</li>
