Seek Discomfort

Ever noticed how easily we retreat from challenges? In this video, I share a personal story about my kids and the rain, and how it relates to our spiritual lives. We'll explore the importance of stepping out of our comfort zones, just like Jesus did, and how it prepares us to face hardship with joy and resilience.

I really needed that, thank you Alex.

There's this girl at church who I barely know but would Like to know better. Our lives barely overlap so in order to start a conversation I would have to actively step out of my comfort zone.

This really helped me, God bless

I felt guilt of resting. I resigned in my last job, but my mind always think on how I will help my parents with our monthly bills.. I am making plans but the most realistic plan for me right now isn't working.. I feel not useful and dumb because of my choices sometimes. But I realize I had more time with our family now.. more time in the ministry.. more time with the Lord and more time with myself.. I believe there's a lot to be grateful for.. thank you Lord for the rest, very luxury I have now is freedom from work and rest..💗

The greatest hardship that i face now is just the work situation I'm facing. I have a job, but no ride, so alot of the time i walk, which takes about an hour. God's given me peace with that. With the cold, though, my ride not wanting to give me a ride early mornings, and the low pay, i have to find another job. In this, though, I've been able to be a witness that circumstance is not where i find my joy or my peace. I've been blessed with things that i meeded when i couldn't get them myself. I've learned that even when there is an easy answer, if i wait on the Lord, he will not disappoint. To trust in him for things easy and hard. God bless.

KEEP SPEAKING TRUTH ALEX🙏🙏🙏 IM SO THANKFUL TO OUR LORD JESUS FOR YOU! BECAUSE YOUR ONE OF THE FEW THAT SPEAKS TRUTHS BASED ON GODS WORD. YOU ALWAYS INSPIRE ME THAT WHAT IM FEELING CONVICTED BY, WHAT IM SEEING IN SCRIPTURE, AND WHAT MY HEART IS SAYING ISNT WRONG. But it can feel like it when so many other Christian’s don’t talk about these things. I start to feel like I may be the one who’s wrong. But then Jesus always brings me one other brother or sister like you to remind me TRUTH. I love you Alex in the way that I am abounding in thanks for you to Jesus Christ to use you to strengthen me and keep me grounded. Blessings brother🙏

My flesh didn’t want to watch this, so I was like “alright man, you should finally watch it”. Always appreciate your perspective. The truth is vital.

God simply took me out of my continent to another to deal with me. My biggest fear leaving by my own was to fail and be homeless. I didn't fail but I had to give account of what I said in the past. In August I had to sleep in the streets and it was the most amazing experience I could ever have because Jesus was with me. It really doesn't matter what can happen with us in this tabernacle, if God is within us, we can face anything. Blessed be the Lord!

You are a blessing! I am suffering from a mystery illness that is slowly causing me to starve to death, and doctors have given up on me. I am constantly stepping out of my comfort zone and trying to find joy even in the immense suffering I experience daily.

I'm navigating the hardship of denying this world. We all have to, but it's challenging because it forces me to deny my past self.

[charlesfickles]

I’m not going to lie, this was a TOUGH revelation! God bless you

[hunterlucas]

I don’t know if you will really see this Mr. Alex but at the beginning of the year your videos started popping up on my home page. In August my step-mom passed away and in the midst of all that I had to cut my dad out of my life. I was depressed shut everyone out of my life but my girlfriend refused to give up on me and I truly believe she is a gift from God. I spent many nights sick thinking I was done but one thing I did was kept your livestream of house church and bible study going all day. I just want to say thank you for helping save my life.

Praise God

The hardship I've been going through has been for 3 years now.
I got a vaccine in the military in 2021 at 28 years old. that temporarily paralyzed me and causes so much pain in my body every day. It's such a new illness that doctors don't know what to do to help me. They don't even know how to detect it in my body yet.
And through this pain, anxiety, fear of the unknown, heart palpitations, muscle spasms, fatigue, brain fog, overstimulation, neuropathy, insomnia, IBS, pots, ceribrial ataxia and more symptoms. My spouse cheated on me. He cheated for 5 years behind my back even before I got sick.
I feel like so much is going on. Like I'm so alone. And the only one who can hear me is God. God is the only one who knows the pain I feel. Who knows what is going on with my body, mind and spirit.
I'm in the storm.
I can see God there.
Please pray that the storm is lifted this year.

i like it when Alex randomely drops a bunch of these videos, i absolutely find your content refreshing bro. Please keep going i really enjoy both podcasts. What a treat that he posted 4 times in just one week

[tanayashonde]

harship of showing grace when i feel someone wrongs me. thanks alex!

[MarccOutdoors]

Glad this video found me, this last year has been tricky with health I’m very grateful god has gifted me good health and looks after me but I have been struggling with IBS and anxiety and makes going out so much harder all of a sudden, I think I need to keep going out more and overcome this!!! Thank you Alex

[susanwood]

Thanks Alex...I get it. Your kids were playing outside and having fun when the sprinkler was on so when it rained...they were already acclimatised!! There are things we can acclimatise to in life - that may feel like a hardship or uncomfortable...yet would actually strengthen our faith. In my experience, western lifestyles are too attached to comfort which doesn't prepare us for hardships or challenges. Will Smith's movie...'The Pursuit of not related to scripture...is never-the-less, all about stepping out of your comfort zone...

[foxcrizone]

I'm really enjoying these short form videos

[joshuasimilien]

Just got out of a 2+ year relationship and figuring out if I want to drop this class because I’m not sure if I’ll pass or not. I totally agree when you said our hardships are making us mature and build discipline as those are two things I’m learning right now.

[songwe]

This is word is in alignment with what the Lord has recently revealed to me✝️ thank you

[phoenixmcgee]

When I read the title of the video, I thought about seeking discomfort and sharing the Good News with friends, family, and even strangers. It’s something I know I’ve been lazy about, or sometimes I feel shy doing, which has led to feelings of conviction and repentance. There’s no reason to be shy, but I often get in my own head.

This is great revelation for this season.
