Saints, have you ever been in a position where God is telling you to do something but fear and anxiety have frozen you against a wall? I know setting out on faith is hard when all you see are the problems, the failures, the broken safety nets, the unfulfilled promises, and the pain of “what ifs”, the lie of “nothing ever good comes of anything I do” and the “awfulizing”.

These sentence starters can ripe havoc on our body, mind and spirit. In this episode, I pray that my guest, Cecil Taylor and I can equip and encourage you to come from out of your comfort zone into the trusting of God zone.

So on to the intro...

Introduction

Welcome to Hanging Out With Jesus Podcast. The podcast that helps you spend time with God to declutter your mind, intentionally.

This is Episode 99. It’s all about jumping from your comfort zone into the trust zone. Saints, time for a new perspective on life, time to take a risk.

Hi, I’m Lyvita. Author, Bible teacher, founder of The Me Project Academy and your host. Joining me in this discussion is Cecil Taylor. I asked him to join us because he wrote another book that ties in with the purpose of this podcast to build up the brokenhearted, to break the chains of anxiety, and unlock the prison doors of fear, so you, we, can complete the mission God’s called you to do, intentionally and daily.

Cecil Taylor’s book is called, From Comfort Zone to Trust Zone How Jesus Urges Us to Take Leaps of Faith for His Kingdom.

Together, I pray this episode awakens your senses to intentionally making steps in doing what God’s called you to do. Let’s get started.
