Episode Details

How God led me out of a job, a church, a town, and a life I’d known for 20 years—and into a season of almost zero predictability. It’s a story about the idol of comfort, what it cost me to let go, and what God’s been rebuilding in the middle of all the uncertainty.

Episode Highlights

• How comfort and “playing it safe” quietly became an idol in my life
• Wanting to keep my stable job and start a new business instead of fully obeying
• The simple prayer for “more days like this” that God answered by uprooting our life
• Moving to Alaska with no plan, no community, and learning daily dependence on God
• Feeling like Israel at the Red Sea—tempted to go back when things got hard
• How God used a year of discomfort to reshape my habits, priorities, and trust in Him
