Uncomfortable

Neal Donald Walsch wrote, “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. So if you’re feeling uncomfortable right now, know that the change taking place in your life is a beginning, not an ending.”

The success of leadership depends on the ability, or the flexibility, to recognize the limits of our comfort zone.

Imagine the change in following God within the Jewish nation after 1,500+ years of the same approach, and then something occurred far different that made them uncomfortable.

Leadership operates the same. We are not talking unscriptural, but when ideas and plans are introduced that make us uncomfortable, maybe life is just beginning.

Comfortable with Uncomfortable

Change does not occur quickly or easily. Once we are in our comfort zone, getting out to think or try something different is not usually on the agenda.

Neale Donald Walsch says, ”Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. So if you’re feeling uncomfortable right now, know that the change taking place in your life is a beginning, not an ending.”

The success of leadership depends on the ability to recognize the limits of our comfort zone and how life begins at that point.

Change

Change if often met with resistance. Once we are comfortable with the status quo, settled into our comfort zone, progress is stymied.

George Bernard Shaw once said, “Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” Even though many are resistant, change is the price of progress. And, change is biblical.

The proper use of technology, the introduction of new methodologies for teaching, and a general openness to evaluating what has and has not worked in the past would serve leadership well.

If the church desires to grow spiritually and numerically we need to be a bit more comfortable with change because growth does not occur without it.

Take the Risk

“Nothing ventured, nothing gained” is an idiom related to risk. Few areas in life witness true and great success without some level of risk.

The willingness to take risks opens us up to an area that allows God to demonstrate the greatness of His power, exceeding our ability to think.

Instead of hiding behind a fear that inhibits our growth and development as the church, leaders need to explore the possibilities of what can happen if we just allow God to work through us, beyond the comfort zones of our past traditions and extend our abilities into areas that promise faith and hope.

Extending Our Comfort Zone…
