Fear, vulnerability, and the unknown—these are the barriers that keep so many of us from the deep, fulfilling relationships we desire. But what if the key to breaking free isn’t waiting for the right people to find you—but stepping out in faith-filled risk?

This week on Midweek Motivation, Pastor Jess sits down with psychologist and coach Nancy to dive deep into:
✅ Why relationships minimize loneliness & embrace vulnerability
✅ The power of faith-filled risks and stepping out of your “familiar zone”
✅ How your own transformation can change every relationship around you
✅ Overcoming self-doubt, fear of rejection, and feeling stuck

If you’ve ever felt like you’re on the outside looking in when it comes to community, this conversation is exactly what you need.

💬 Comment below: What’s one small way you can step outside your familiar zone this week?
