Before You’re Forced to Change — Episode 1 “Still Sitting in the Box”

Episode 1 Summary — “Still Sitting in the Box” Sometimes we know something needs to change, but we keep putting it off because everything still seems to be working. In this episode, Danny shares how three new sump pumps sat unopened in his garage for months while the old ones remained in use. It wasn’t until one began overheating that he finally made the change. This episode reminds us that knowing what needs to be done isn’t the same as doing it. God may already be showing us an area that needs our attention. Instead of waiting for a crisis to force our hand, sometimes we simply need to take the first step and open the box. 📖 Small Group Companion Guide Main Scripture: James 4:17 Additional Scripture: Matthew 7:24–27 Main Thought: Don’t wait for a crisis to do what God has already shown you to do.
