Have you ever found yourself shrinking your spiritual gifts just to make others comfortable? That's exactly what Pastor Michael challenges in this powerful message about breaking free from small-minded thinking.

With humor and nostalgic references to $750 DVD players from 1997, Pastor Michael weaves a profound truth: "Don't stay small because they think small." He unpacks how our thinking literally shapes our spiritual reality, and when we allow ourselves to be defined by others' limited expectations, we inevitably fall short of God's design for our lives.

Drawing from scripture passages like Isaiah 54:2-3 ("Enlarge your house... for you will soon be bursting at the seams") and 2 Timothy 1:7 ("God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity"), Pastor Michael exposes how fear-based thinking keeps believers trapped in comfort zones when God is calling them to expand their territory. He confronts the dangerous attachment to nostalgia that keeps churches looking backward instead of forward, making it impossible to effectively minister to today's broken world.

This message will challenge you to examine what vision God has placed in your heart that seems too ambitious or uncomfortable. What would happen if you stopped shrinking that vision to match others' expectations and instead allowed it to grow to the size God intended?

Ready to break free from small thinking? This message will equip you to recognize and reject the lies that have kept you playing small when God has called you to something greater.
