The Called and Courageous Christian Woman | Surrender Control, Overcome Anxiety, and Live Boldly in Purpose episodes

April 28 Ep. 020. Step Out of the Boat: When Safe Isn’t Faithful
In this episode of the Called and Courageous Christian Woman, we’re going back to Matthew 14—but this time, not to focus on Peter walking on water.
In this episode, we talk about the disciples who stayed in the boat… and what it means when safe doesn’t equal faithful. If you’ve ever felt stuck between comfort and calling, this conversation will challenge the way you think about obedience, faith, and what it really looks like to follow Jesus.
We also begin stepping into a deeper focus on the Fruit of the Spirit—starting with faithfulness—and how it plays out in real, everyday decisions.
If you’ve been sensing God calling you into something more but feel hesitant to move, this episode is your reminder: you don’t need all the details—just the willingness to respond.
Let’s talk about what it means to step out in faith, so we don’t miss the miracles God has for our lives
