This week on The Journey, we explored the tension between feeling called by God and feeling equipped for that calling. We encourage each other (sorta) to step out in faith, even when we’re uncertain, trusting that the Holy Spirit works through our obedience rather than our perfection.

Takeaways:

* Obedience over comfort: God often calls us to serve in ways that stretch us beyond our comfort zones. Our willingness to say “yes” matters more than our perceived readiness.

* Community discipleship takes many forms: We don’t all have to teach from a stage to make an impact. Discipleship happens in conversations, small groups, and everyday moments when we share what God is teaching us.

* Genuine authenticity matters: Whether we’re serving in preschool, leading a group, or sharing our faith with a friend, people can sense when we’re being genuine versus just going through the motions. Let your service flow from a sincere heart.

We encourage you to prayerfully consider where God might be asking you to step out in faith—even if it feels uncomfortable at first.
