We all wish we had more control. When our relationships are strained, when our bodies refuse to cooperate, and when the future is uncertain, control promises security and peace.

The problem is, the more we seek the illusion of control, the more it betrays us.

Thankfully the answer to our craving is not simply to "let go and let God." Instead, God has given us a better tool. In this eye-opening book, Sharon Hodde Miller helps us discover the real power God has given us in Christ--to exercise influence over ourselves and our lives.

Jessica Morris, the Australian journalist behind the investigation into former Newsboys and DC Talk frontman Michael Tait, says her intent was never to dismantle the Christian music industry, but to help protect those within it.

Morris’s reporting, published by The Roys Report, contains sexual misconduct allegations from multiple men against Tait — allegations that, at the time of the interview, had not been tested in court. But they were the result of years of careful investigation and corroboration.

Today on Connections, Morris shares the details of her two and a half year investigation.
