Welcome back to Beyond the Darkness! In this episode, Cristy and Jon discuss change and what it asks of us. Often more than we feel ready to give. In this episode, they share personal stories and unique perspectives on the fear that lives quietly beneath transition, uncertainty, and growth. It’s the fear that whispers, stay where it’s safe, even when something deeper within us knows we’re being called to make the change and move forward.
Together, they unpack why discomfort shows up when we’re on the edge of transformation, how to recognize the difference between resistance and fear-based avoidance, and what it truly means to choose growth over comfort. If you’re in a season of change or learning to let go, this one’s for you!
