    How Do I Grow: Embracing Discomfort

    You cannot grow and stay comfortable at the same time. In this episode of Love In Your Wake, Ben, Carlie and Bethany continue the conversation on growth by tackling one of the biggest barriers we all face: the comfort zone. If you are listening, ask yourself honestly. Where have I settled? Where have I stopped stretching? What have I quietly decided is good enough? We talk about why growth always involves discomfort. Not chaos. Not trauma. But intentional stretch. The kind that builds resilience, capacity and grit. From gym training to public speaking, marriage counselling to combat sports, we unpack the principle of progressive overload. You do not grow by staying where it feels safe. But you also do not grow by blowing yourself up. Real growth happens when you step just outside your comfort zone, then return, reflect and go again. We explore: Why comfort can quietly become a growth barrier The difference between productive discomfort and dysfunction How resilience is built through lived experience Why small wins create momentum How growth in one area multiplies across your life The power of community and choosing a tribe that challenges you This episode is a call to intentional adversity. To doing something hard on purpose. To expanding your capacity so that when real challenges come, you are not a softer version of yourself but a stronger one. Growth is cumulative.Momentum matters.And you can do more than you think you can. If you are ready to step outside your comfort zone, even just one step, this conversation will help you start.

    How Do I Grow: Creating an Environment

    What if this is the year you stop coasting and actually grow? In this episode of Love In Your Wake, Ben, Carlie and Bethany kick off a new mini series all about growth. Not church growth. Not platform growth. Personal growth. Spiritual growth. The kind that changes how you live, lead and love. We talk about how growth really begins. With a seed. An idea. A nudge from the Holy Spirit. An honest comment from someone you trust. And then the harder part. Choosing to nurture it. How do you know what you need to grow in?How do you tell the difference between conviction and your inner critic?Who actually gets permission to speak into your blind spots?What does it look like to take ownership of your own formation? This conversation moves from self-awareness and feedback to mentoring, emotional intelligence and the role of prayer and Scripture in shaping a healthier, more mature life. It is practical. It is honest. And at times, it is confronting. Growth does not happen by accident.What you give attention to grows. If you sense that God is inviting you into something deeper this year, this episode will help you name it and take the first step.

    God’s Future, Your Present… End times and us today - Rev Dr John Griffiths Part 2

    What if we've been getting resurrection all wrong? Instead of some cosmic escape hatch from a doomed planet, what if it's actually God's way of saying, "I'm not done with this world yet"? Pentecostal scholar Rev Dr John Griffiths and Pastor Ben Teefy reveal how Pentecost’s outpouring of the Spirit on “all flesh” stretches past people to the whole ecosystem, turning stewardship into core Christian mission. That "trash the planet, we're getting raptured" theology? It's crumbling. Even if the Earth burned tomorrow, dismissing care for God's gift would still break the Giver's heart. Paul's coming fire isn't about destruction, it's about what lasts. And that work starts now, in ordinary moments when we love neighbours and nurture creation. Don't escape the future. Live it in the dirt beneath your feet.

    God’s Future, Your Present… End times and us today - Rev Dr John Griffiths Part 1

    Resurrection launches new creation, turning end-times talk into a blueprint for everyday stewardship. Pastor Ben Teefy sits down with Pentecostal scholar Rev Dr John Griffiths (Alphacrucis University College) to show how Jesus’ rising and Pentecost’s Spirit outpouring pull the whole cosmos—soil, seas and schedules into God’s restoration project. Caring for Earth becomes worship, because trashing the planet is like rejecting a personal gift from God . Paul’s image of a coming fire sifts our work, so calendars, wallets and web scrolling ought to build what lasts into eternity. Escape fantasy? No: this episode reframes eschatology as hope fuelled action, inviting you to live the future now, on your own street.
