## Resource

The enemy uses convenience as a subtle strategy to pull us away from God's will by dulling our devotion and nurturing apathy rather than outright rebellion. We define something convenient as what saves time and effort; however, it becomes dangerous when it replaces surrender, participation, and obedience to God's mission. Examples like the rich young ruler, wandering disciples, Judas, Peter, Demas, and the church of Laodicea teach us that choosing what feels easier often costs us spiritual depth, courage, and relational trust in Jesus . Grace invites us to break away from self-preservation and challenges us to be willing to show up, face inconvenience, and release what God has placed on our lives for the sake of others . Embracing Jesus' invitation to rest in Him keeps us spiritually safe. To support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast" to 74483 or visit www.worldchangers.org
