We all reach moments in life where we know we need to move forward—but fear keeps us clinging to what’s familiar.

Maybe it’s a job, a relationship, a mindset, or even a way of life that once served you but no longer does. You feel the stirring in your spirit, the nudge that God is calling you to something new… yet stepping into the unknown feels terrifying.

In this episode, we dive deep into the story of Abraham and explore:

✔️ Why staying in Haran—your comfort zone—can keep you from God’s greater plans.

✔️ How to recognize when God is calling you forward (even when you feel unprepared).

✔️ Three powerful steps you can take today to step into the unknown with faith.

If you’ve been wrestling with change and struggling to leave what’s comfortable, this episode is for you. It’s time to take a bold step of faith and trust that what’s ahead is far greater than what you’re leaving behind.
