In Episode 24 of Faith Meets Academia, I dive into the final part of the "Getting Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable" series. I share three powerful principles that have guided my journey of breaking free from comfort zones: "My purpose is greater than my preference," "My ability is greater than my assignment," and "My growth is greater than my comfort." Through personal experiences, scripture, and reflection, I encourage you to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, aligning your life with God's purpose.

As you listen, consider these questions:

• What comfort zone is holding me back from fulfilling my purpose?
• How can I apply these principles to take the next bold step in my faith and professional journey?
• Where in my life do I need to prioritize growth over comfort?
