In this episode of Faith Forward, Alexx explores why most men don’t drift from faith because they stop believing, but because they avoid discomfort when life gets heavy.
Drawing from Scripture and church history, this conversation reframes spiritual maturity as the ability to remain present instead of escaping through distraction, overwork, or withdrawal.
If you’ve been tempted to numb, avoid, or check out when things get uncomfortable, this episode will help you slow down, stay present, and discover how God forms strength in the very places you want to run from.
