Episode 206: When Security Costs Comfort with Michael Holden

This episode wrestles with the conflict between maintaining financial and social security and obeying a deeper call toward authenticity, even when that obedience introduces uncertainty.

We live in a culture that rewards stability, productivity, and visible success, often treating discomfort as a sign of failure rather than growth. Titles, income, and predictability are held up as proof of maturity and wisdom, especially for leaders and providers. Yet many people are quietly discovering that the very structures meant to secure their lives are also dulling their sense of purpose, presence, and spiritual clarity.

What parts of your life feel secure on the outside but quietly misaligned on the inside?

Where have small compromises in authenticity slowly reshaped how you define success or worth?

What would it look like to measure wealth by peace, presence, and relational health rather than output alone?
