TNMU #176: Comfort Is An idol

Sep 17, 2021

Comfort is an idol.

That’s a statement I’ve been wresting with for a few months now and decided to explore on the podcast today. We were made to grow and growth requires discomfort. And yet comfort is a tempting alternative that invites us to settle for something less than we’re capable of or what we’ve been called to. Wondering if this might be describing you? Then listen in and find out.

Expanded Notes:

• What comfort has become an idol for you?
• Invite God to illuminate where comfort has become an idol for you
• Idols are things keeping us from growing into the men we were created to be
• What role is comparison playing for you when thinking about comfort?
• What if a better comparison, when it comes to comfort, is an early follower of Jesus?
• How can you be a good steward of what you’ve been given, rather than use it for your own comfort?
• There is no growth in comfort; there is seldom comfort in growth
