Out of the Boat Exemple

We’ve all had moments in life where someone pushed us to do something that may have been terrifying or quite outside of our comfort zone at the time.  Upon being launched out of a metaphorical boat we often experience a new sense of freedom and something remarkable happens. When others encourage us to step out of our boat (a place of safe comfort), there is a confidence in God that rises and a passion for the things of God is activated. These moments can be life-defining, where we do something, we never thought possible or that no one else would have expected. These moments change the way in which we view God and how He wants to work through us. QUESTIONS Identify something you've done in faith, that brought fulfillment and changed the way you saw God’s ability to work through you. Who do you have in your world that encourages you to “get out of the boat”? Talk with a trusted friend about the kind of faith you want to live by.
