You have a plan for how life needs to go. A savings account, a career path, a version of the future that means you’re going to be okay.

James says that’s not the problem. The problem is what you’re actually trusting when you make those plans.

In this message Jeff Brodie works through James 5 and makes a case that the pursuit of self-sufficiency — the drive to feel secure through planning, wealth, and control — is one of the quietest enemies of a life that actually works.

Not because planning is wrong. But because your plans were never designed to carry the weight you’re putting on them.
