Comfort zones are a weird thing. They feel safe, but staying in them often has little benefit. Every once in a while I will be asked to lead worship at church (and this is majorly out of my comfort zone). I find myself shaking and full of anxiety every time I am up on stage.

As a result, God is showing me that He is with me in every moment, I just need to get better at seeing Him.

1. What steps of obedience did you take? I signed up for an 8-week discipleship program at my church and invited a coworker to do it with me! 2. How did God use it or speak through it? The course doesn’t start until January 7th, but even the build up to it has given me the opportunity to build Godly friendships. 3. What did this teach you about faith in action? I had to take a leap of faith to invite my coworker to the discipleship program, and it is leading to a deeper spiritual connection
