When God Calls You Out of Your Comfort Zone — with Laken Kimsey

About this episode

Laken Kimsey shares his journey of stepping out of his comfort zone to follow God's calling in launching his own business.

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Laken Kimsey — a husband, father of three, former ministry leader, and the owner of Laken Lee Creative . Laken has been part of my journey behind the scenes for years, and now I finally get to share his heart, his story, and what Jesus is teaching him in this season. Laken opens up about stepping out of the comfort of a steady salary and into the unknown of launching his own business — not to build an empire, but to follow the voice of God with full surrender. We talk about what it really means to trust the Lord when you can’t see the entire path, why obedience often feels like fear, and how God uses spouses, community, and quiet journaling moments to guide us one step at a time. This conversation is honest, practical, and full of faith. If you’re in a season where God is asking you to step out, trust more deeply, or surrender what feels safe, Laken’s story will encourage you to believe that God is in every detail — and He’ll meet you on the other side of your “yes.” Listen in and be reminded: God is faithful, and His light is always enough for the next step. ______________________________ About Laken Kimsey Laken Kimsey is the…
