Episode 1340: Why Change Is So Hard (and How to Move Forward)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why do we resist change, even when we know it's good for us? It's easy to look back at the past through rose-colored glasses while fearing what lies ahead. Today we'll explore why change feels so difficult, what fuels our resistance, and how God helps us move forward instead of getting stuck. Could your next step begin with changing the way you see change?
Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
