I was asked a question the other day about whether I had gotten to the place where I was comfortable as a church planter. I thought about it for a minute, and realized that the answer is NO.

Here is the logic behind my answer.

I am learning to be comfortable IN Christ. I am who He says that I am. Period. That’s a very good thing because God speaks very highly of His kids!

I am comforted BY Christ. No matter what’s up - God’s there to walk us through.

I am UNcomfortable FOR Christ. I never want to be comfortable. I always want to be pressing forward, risking everything, and moving far beyond my comfort level for the cause of Christ.

Not sure if that’s the answer they were looking for…but that’s the answer they got.
