A recliner is a great parallel for our Spiritual lives. It’s comfortable, easy, and so addictive. We can get lazy…that’s why it’s called a Lay-Z-Boy! Just as we love the physical comfort of a chair, we also love spiritual comfort: the predictable rhythm, a sense of safety, and a place where nothing is demanded of us. This instinct for spiritual ease is dangerously misaligned with true discipleship.   Our core truth is blunt: “If you’re comfortable following Jesus, you’re doing it wrong. You should be uncomfortable.” The presence of sin within every person means that God is still at work in believers’ lives, wanting to change them from the inside out. As long as a person is alive, God intends ongoing transformation, not static comfort. To simply settle into a “spiritual lazy boy” and resist change means we’re doing it wrong.   Listen as we unpack this core truth to discover the great plans God has for us as we become more like Jesus.
