“When comfort becomes the goal, we stop growing.” – Kelly
We live in a world that tells us comfort equals happiness. But what if chasing comfort actually pulls us away from the life God designed for us? This week, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia dig into the idea of comfort as an idol — how our desire for ease, safety, and control can distract us from the deeper peace that only comes from Jesus.
They talk about what it really means to follow God when things get hard, why peace is not the same thing as comfort, and how God often uses the uncomfortable places to grow our faith. From David hiding in the cave to modern-day moments of surrender, this conversation will challenge you to trade comfort for calling — and discover that Jesus really is enough.
Take It With You...
-
Comfort can be an idol. When we prioritize ease over obedience, we miss what God wants to do in and through us.
-
Peace is eternal; comfort is temporary. True peace comes from knowing Christ, not from avoiding struggle.
-
Growth happens in discomfort. God often teaches us the deepest lessons in the hardest seasons — the ones we’d never choose.
