About this episode
This episode discusses how personal preferences can hinder spiritual growth and the importance of choosing faith over comfort.
What if the very thing you prefer is the thing holding you back? In this episode, we’re having a real conversation about how our preferenceslwhat we like, what feels comfortable, what we’re used to, can sometimes get in the way of what God is trying to do in our lives. Because let’s be honest… we love control. We love what makes sense to us. We love what feels good. But what happens when God’s plan doesn’t match our preference? I’m sharing how choosing comfort over obedience can delay growth, keep you in cycles, and even cause you to miss what God has already prepared for you. This is your reminder that purpose will require stretching, surrender, and sometimes saying no to what you want so you can receive what you need. So ask yourself:Are you choosing what’s familiar… or what’s faithful?
