Season 3 of Glimpses of Grace starts with Mark and John discussing the circle of serenity. To watch Glimpses of Grace, use this YouTube link: https://youtu.be/9PaJ-szxT14

In this episode, the guys discuss controlling what you can control and dealing with the things that are beyond your control. It is very important to take responsibility for the things in our control, to live in the present, and to make the most of the opportunities in front of us. We are to accept what cannot be changed and leave with God what is beyond our control. In this podcast, Mark and John will discuss how we do this. We have to change our "What ifs to nevertheless!"
