A popular phrase in Christian circles is "get out of our comfort zone." It can be really difficult, because, by definition, we're at ease.

Because it's that unknown that makes us more fully rely upon Him.This week, we'll share some practical tips of how to overcome the very real fear and take the step out of our comfort zone into a growing relationship with Christ.For all things Steve & Bethany., including social links, YouTube page, and more...hit us up!https://steveandbethany.com
