Joshua Watson thought he was confident—but control was really a mechanism he wielded was a way to protect himself from being hurt.

In Part 2 of his testimony, Joshua recounts his pursuit of a music career, the pride behind his decisions, and a turning point with God. He had a plan for his life and little room for anyone who questioned it. When a sermon challenged his choices, he found reasons to dismiss it. But when his own plans stopped working, he became willing to listen. He asked God for wisdom, and over time, God began changing how he saw himself and treated the people he loved. He had spent years insisting on his own way. Now he was learning how to serve.

This is a story about the control we mistake for confidence and what begins to change when we finally let God lead.
