Delayed Obedience is Disobedience: Taking Immediate Action When God Says "Go!"

In this episode of the Live Bold Movement Podcast, we explore the heart-challenging truth that delayed obedience is still disobedience—and how stepping out in faith, even when it’s hard or uncomfortable, unlocks blessings we can’t always see coming. With a raw and personal story about giving generously to someone in need, we’re reminded that obedience isn’t about understanding every detail—it’s about trusting God’s promptings and responding with a willing heart. You’ll walk away inspired to take your next bold step, no matter how big or small.

💥 Key Takeaways:

• Delayed obedience is disobedience. When God nudges, He’s inviting you into an act of worship—not a negotiation.
  
  

• Obedience stretches your faith. It often defies logic, but it builds trust and brings unseen blessings.
  
  

• Small actions matter. Even simple acts like sharing a bracelet or a Bible can carry ripple effects.
  
  

• Lead by example. Teaching children to walk in obedience shapes their hearts for lifelong faith.
  
  

• Community impact. Join in prayer, donations, or spreading the word to support global missions like the upcoming Kenya trip.
