Passages

Most of us are not paralyzed by laziness. We are paralyzed by fear dressed up as wisdom. We call it being prudent, or waiting on God, or needing more information — when really we are just terrified of what happens if we step out and it does not work.

This journey strips the camouflage off avoidance and walks you into the biblical pattern: God calls, the person is afraid, God says go anyway, and the faithfulness happens in the stepping, not in the certainty. Zoe will keep asking where your fear is masquerading as something more respectable.
