What If God's Will Raises Your Expectations? | Mondays with the Monk

Send us Fan Mail Are you praying with trust—or quietly lowering your expectations? Buddy Foy Jr and Brian Metzger explore the Lord's Prayer, the finished work of the cross, and the shift from fear and control toward faith and awareness of God's presence. Brian joins from Ireland for a conversation about renewing the mind, recognizing spiritual strongholds, and learning where to invest your attention. Joshua and Caleb, the prodigal son, Elijah and John the Baptist become starting points for reflection on doubt, trust and God's initiative. Proverbs 9 brings the conversation into everyday life: when is an argument worth your energy, and when is it time to seek out people who are hungry for wisdom? Buddy connects that question to leadership, family relationships and being more intentional with the time we have. In this episode: • Praying “thy will be done” with greater trust • Recognizing the “yeah, but” that keeps us stuck • Choosing the table of wisdom over endless conflict • Noticing what God is doing amid uncertainty • Making space for the Holy Spirit in daily life The episode closes with prayer.
