## Resource

Most people don’t have a clarity problem. They have a courage problem. In this episode of The Pulpit & Porch , we tackle a hard truth: You’re probably not stuck… you’re avoiding something. The conversation you don’t want to have. The decision you’ve been delaying. The step you know you need to take. Instead, we scroll. We overthink. We “prepare.” We stay busy just enough to feel productive… but never actually move. In this episode, we unpack: • Why we stay in jobs we’ve outgrown • Why hard conversations feel so intimidating • How distraction and entertainment quietly fuel avoidance • The connection between avoidance, anxiety, and confidence • The spiritual cost of delayed obedience • How to actually take your next step (even if you don’t feel ready) If you’ve ever felt stuck, this episode might challenge that idea… in the best way. Because the life you want might not be on the other side of more information, it might be on the other side of one hard decision. Listen now, and share this with someone who’s been saying “I’m stuck.”
