Listen "Counterfeit Comfort: Breaking Free from the Things Holding You Back"
Episode Synopsis
Comfort zones feel safe—but they can kill your calling. In this powerful episode of The
Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis challenges you to identify and break free from the
counterfeit comforts holding you back from fully following Jesus. From Abraham leaving the
familiar, to Peter stepping out of the boat, to the early church choosing boldness over
safety—we see that God’s call always costs something.
With a moving tribute to Charlie Kirk, a timely challenge for today’s culture, and a real-life story
of costly obedience, Jon reminds us: Jesus didn’t die to make us comfortable. He died to make
us dangerous to darkness.
If you’re ready to stop playing it safe, surrender what’s keeping you stuck, and live the bold,
uncommon life God designed you for—this episode will shake you out of casual Christianity and
into courageous faith.
Grab Jon’s new book I’ve Prayed the Prayer at TheUncommonChristian.com for a deeper dive
into breaking free from cultural Christianity and stepping into real surrender.
