S12E02 | Step Back and See the Big Picture: Dwayne Morris
February 3, 2026
鈥淚f we step back and take a look at the big picture of what God is doing,鈥 if we see God鈥檚 hand in circumstances and recognize that 鈥渢his is what God is asking us to experience,鈥 we can 鈥渟erve the Lord with gladness,鈥 Pastor Dwayne Morris contends in this podcast episode. He then charts God鈥檚 hand in a riding accident, in serious medical conditions his children experienced, and in a tragedy, noting that the Lord may be asking through these trials, 鈥淒o you trust Me? I鈥檓 trying to both conform you and let you experience a little bit of My glory.鈥 He and host Dr. Matt Davis examine how we irreverently question God when we feel we suffer unjustly, and they discuss Pastor Morris鈥 newest ministry helping those with addictions, roughly 80 percent of whom are 鈥渟elf-medicating for a trauma they haven鈥檛 been able to process.鈥
