48. Q&A: "One Foot In, One Foot Out" Of The Kingdom - Where Do I Go From Here? Curious For Christ | Surrender To God, Peace With God, Stress Free, God In Control, Exmo podcast

In this episode, we're diving deep into the struggle of feeling stuck between faith and doubt, between the pull of God and the allure of the world. If you've ever felt like you're living with one foot in and one foot out, this episode is for you. We'll explore why this happens, what it means for your faith, and how to move forward.

Segment 1: Understanding the Tension

Why we feel pulled in two directions: Fear of surrender, love of comfort, and lingering doubt.
Scripture reference: Romans 7:15 ("For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.")
Discussion: Share in the Fb group (link below) personal experiences of feeling torn between faith and the world.

Segment 2: Faith Isn't All or Nothing

The importance of growth: Faith is a journey, and it's okay to struggle.
Scripture reference: Mark 9:24 ("I believe; help my unbelief!")
Main Idea: faith is a process and not a destination.

Segment 3: Taking Steps Toward Commitment

Surrender the small things first: Start with areas where you feel comfortable surrendering control.
Stay rooted in God's Word: Faith comes by hearing God's Word.
Pray for a heart that trusts: Ask God to help you overcome doubt and fear.
Surround yourself with faithful community: Seek support from others who can encourage you in your faith.

Segment 4: Breaking Free from Fear and Doubt

Fear is natural but not from God: Replace fear with God's truth.
Scripture reference: 2 Timothy 1:7 ("For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.")
Doubt is a part of the journey: Acknowledge that doubt is normal and doesn't negate your faith.
Trust God's track record: Look at how God has worked in your life and in the lives of others.

Segment 5: The Reward of Going All In

The fullness of life: God desires to give you a life of abundance and purpose.
Scripture reference: John 10:10 ("I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.")
The freedom of commitment: Fully committing to Christ brings freedom from the struggle of living in two worlds.

Conclusion:

Call to action: Take a step toward full commitment, TODAY!
Reminder: Faith is a journey, and it's okay to take it one step at a time.
