Faith Matters 2 of 4 | The Courage to Step Out of the Familiar

Change can feel necessary and frightening at the same time. Careers shift, relationships change, responsibilities evolve, and familiar roles may no longer fit, yet remaining where you are can still feel safer than moving forward.In Episode 2 of Faith Matters, Dr. Teresa A. Smith and Christian author Dennis J. Perkins discuss the courage required to step beyond familiar routines, identities, and expectations. They examine why people recognize the need for change but hesitate to move, how faith can guide decisions when outcomes are uncertain, and why courage should be supported by wisdom rather than impulse.The conversation also addresses releasing roles that no longer fit, distinguishing fear from a reason to wait, and remaining grounded while navigating personal or professional transitions.
