We’re all making decisions based on what feels safe or worthwhile. But what if the biggest risk isn’t out there somewhere… what if it’s staying the same?

In this message, Pastor Matthew Stephen Brown shares honest, funny, and deeply relatable stories—from awkward gym encounters to facing fears in everyday life—to explore a bigger question: Is the life you’re holding onto actually holding you back? Through a look at one of Jesus’ most challenging teachings, you’ll discover why real change often requires letting go, rethinking old assumptions, and seeing yourself with new clarity.
