Ep. 97 Does Jesus Think Your Faith Is Boring?
A Called & Curious conversation where faith, story, and brain science intertwine to help you live confidently from the overflow.
What if the most dangerous thing about your faith isn’t doubt…
but familiarity?
In this episode of the Called & Curious Podcast, we wrestle with a question that’s uncomfortable, funny, and deeply biblical:
What if Jesus thinks your faith is boring?
Scripture tells us Jesus was amazed only twice—once by faith, and once by unbelief.
That means belief is never neutral. Hesitation isn’t harmless. And the way we respond to God’s invitations, his callings, is shaping who we are becoming.
We want the kind of faith where that obedience looks foolish on the outside. "Foolish" faith amazes God.
Through honest, foolish stories (awkward social media posts, starting a podcast with zero confidence, mermaid detours 😅), biblical examples (Esther, Mary, Moses, Jesus), and a little neuroscience, this episode is a wake-up call.
Not a guilt trip.
Not a hustle message.
A reckoning.
If you’ve ever felt called… but stalled, this episode is for you.
We'll chat about why your calling is so important, how it's given just to you, and how sometimes we get nervous about that new *awkward, hard, foolish* thing in front of us, that we don't answer our call.
Let's amaze Jesus by our belief and step into our God-given callings with courage!
Also, Christine Caine, if you're listening, um—WOW! Lol
And also, that mention of you in the episode was made with the highest respect. I'm amazed by the work you do and the grace, humor, and power with which you deliver messages of Jesus.
✨ Next week: we’ll get very practical and talk dopamine, motivation, and how your brain might be discipling you more than you realize.
(Understanding this discipling offers a critical level of awareness that will help us navigate this time of political division as a Christian so we can lead conversations with grace, knowledge, and love.)
