Show Notes

Karen talks with her friend Kris about how the enemy uses introversion, fear, lies, and comfort zones to take us into relational isolation.  God's intent is that we have deep relationships, but the Enemy loves to keep us isolated. Consider the tactics that Satan has used in your life that have kept you stuck relationally. 

Questions for discussion: 

Are you an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert? (remember, this has nothing to do with shyness, but rather where we gain or are drained of energy) Acknowledge how this affects your relationships.

Have you ever felt isolated relationally due to circumstances? Explain.

Have you ever isolated yourself based on lies you were believing? Can you identify the lies?

When have you had to be pushed out of your comfort zone?  What was the result?

Have you ever felt safer in your isolation than in reaching out? What is at stake in reaching out?

What is your "comfort zone" that may keep you from better relationships?

What growth/discomfort is necessary to move you from where you are (in your comfort zone)?

What do you desire in friendship? (If you stepped out of your comfort zone, what would be your desired goal/outcome)

What is one step you will take this week to move outside your comfort zone? (ie. invite someone into your messy home, tell a friend about your "messy" life situation, etc.) 

The Takeaway: "Nothing new happens as long as we are in our self-constructed comfort zone." - Suzanne Stabile

To-Do This Week:  Take one step outside your comfort zone.
