When Comfort Becomes Our Enemy...

About this episode

This episode explores how God uses disruption and discomfort to shape our calling and spread the gospel.

In Acts 8, the early church is scattered through persecution, forced out of comfort and into uncertainty. But what looked like chaos became the very thing God used to spread the gospel farther than ever before. This message explores why God sometimes allows disruption in our lives, how discomfort can shape our calling, and what it means to trust Him when life does not go according to plan. Maybe the season that feels like scattering is actually God sending you.
