Stepping Out

Stepping Out

In this episode of Monday School, hosts Wally and Betty dive into the concept of "stepping out in faith." Wally begins by unpacking the common misconception that stepping out in faith necessitates radical or irresponsible actions. Instead, he reframes it as a calculated decision rooted in trust and history with God. As he explains, stepping out in faith can encompass various aspects of life, from sharing one's beliefs to forgiving others or even making significant career changes. Betty and Wally further discuss how building a strong relationship with God – much like any other relationship – develops through time and consistent interaction. When you get to know God personally, trust grows and makes the idea of stepping out feel less intimidating and more exciting.  This episode is a call to build and lean on that relationship with God, pointing out that the more we trust and understand His character, the more willing and excited we become to join Him in His plans. For anyone looking to deepen their faith and understand the true meaning of trust in their spiritual journey, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice.
