Are we worshipping a "safe" God? In this powerful episode, we confront how fear keeps us trapped in spiritual smallness. We tear down the illusion of a tame, manageable Jesus and rediscover the ferocious, uncontainable God revealed at the Transfiguration.

Jesus never called His followers to be cowards—yet we often cower from challenges, cling to comfort, and shrink from the unknown. Why? We’ve boxed God in. We want Him on-demand, predictable, and non-disruptive… but that’s not the God of Scripture.

We unpack how:
🔥 Our fear of God’s "big asks" (like the dreaded "missionary to Africa" scenario) exposes our small view of Him.
🔥 Ephesians 3:20-21 reveals the real limitation: not God’s power, but our willingness to let it work through us.
🔥 Knowing God intimately—like Moses, Isaiah, and the disciples—explodes our fears and fuels boldness (Dan. 11:32).

This isn’t about comfort—it’s about awakening to His glory. Stop managing God. Start letting His magnitude in you unleash a fearless life.

Join us as we begin tearing down the boxes and prepare to stand unafraid.
