Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

How Hard Conversations Grow Your Faith (Minisode)

Do you avoid confrontation? Do you shrink back when you know someone disagrees with you—especially about faith, politics, or truth?

This has been my style for as long as I can remember. I don’t like making waves or being in confrontational or tense situations, so I would avoid them or people who may cause them.

Well, in this minisode, I reflect on how stepping into uncomfortable conversations can grow your confidence, deepen your faith, and stretch you spiritually.

After a powerful and unexpected conversation with former CNN journalist John DeDakis, I share how God used discomfort to challenge my biases, expand my perspective, and remind me that we don’t have to “win” every conversation to walk in truth.

This episode is an encouragement for Christians who feel nervous about engaging with people who hold different views but sense God nudging them to step out of their comfort zone with grace and courage.
