199 | The Courage to Leave What's Comfortable - Brett Myles
Aug 17
Have you ever found yourself in a place that was good, meaningful, and even successful, yet deep inside you sensed God might be calling you to something more? Not because anything was wrong, but because a season was coming to an end.
Leaving what's comfortable is one of the hardest things we'll ever do. We love certainty. We love predictable paychecks, familiar routines, and knowing what tomorrow looks like. But growth rarely happens inside our comfort zones, and often God's greatest plans begin when we're willing to trust Him beyond what we can see.
In this episode, I sit down with Brett Myles, founder of Leadwell, leadership coach, husband, father, and former ministry leader. Brett shares his remarkable journey from dreams of playing baseball, to serving in ministry for more than a decade, to taking a leap of faith into the unknown world of leadership development and entrepreneurship.
What makes Brett's story so powerful is that he wasn't running from something—he was being pulled toward something. He loved the ministry he was serving in. He loved the people. He loved the mission. Yet God was stirring his heart and teaching him a life-changing lesson about the difference between his identity, his calling, and his assignment.
As you'll hear, courage isn't the absence of fear. Courage is taking the next step when fear is present. It's trusting God's voice when the path isn't fully clear. It's believing that the same God who calls you is also the God who provides for you.
Whether you're questioning your next career move, wrestling with a life transition, sensing a new calling, or simply wondering if you're exactly where God wants you to be, Brett's story will encourage you to take a closer look at the doors God may already be opening around you.
My mom used to tell me, "God's fingerprints are all over your life—you
just have to look for them." Brett's story is a powerful reminder that when we're willing to leave what's comfortable and follow where God is leading, we often discover that His fingerprints were guiding us all along.
So join us for Part 1 of this conversation as Brett Myles shares his journey of faith, obedience, leadership, and the courage to leave what's comfortable.
