How would living more boldly change your life?

I am reading your book "Dangerous Prayers" and in addition, watching your videos. I am touched and moved beyond belief. I thought being a comfortable Christian was a blessing, but I am realizing that God doesn't call me to be comfortable. He calls me to be obedient. I am petrified to see what he is calling me to do. But I trust him. So thank you...for moving me from comfort to "disturbed" and "obedience". God Blessxx

I am 5 at being bold and hearing you talking about boldness’s I asked god to make me a 10 in boldness. I put Jesus first because only Jesus Christ counts and nothing matters.

A reminder, real change comes with Boldness. Question and confirm is a bold move, wanting the truth is being bold.

I love my mom soo much for teaching me who jesus christ is! My journey has been 39 yrs long. I'm 40 this month and feel called telling me it's time to walk in line with the word of Christ. This month for the first time I'm tithing. When I'm at church I cry tears of joy and feel the lords love. Thank you Lord for people like Craig and my mom who show me how amazing you are! I want to be bold, I love you lord. Make me bold, Amen.

I'm scared to death to pray, "Bring my child back to you, whatever it takes" because I don't want my child to be 'hurt in the process'...but I'm unclenching my fists today and letting go and letting God do whatever HIS will is. It's a dangerous prayer...but our eternities depend on it. (I'm trusting you, Lord...)

I watched this a few months ago. I prayed for boldness. I regretted it after a while because God made me bold, but it wasn't as I expected. It's not always amazing and inspiring, or doesn't seem that way. You touch at least one person by stepping out though and boldly speaking about Christ, but even if you don't, you touch the heart of God. It's true you will face spiritual opposition. Now months later, I saw this video again, forgetting that I watched it before. I think about how I cringed at myself, and asked God to take back the boldness. I shouldn't have done that. I'm ready to start praying more dangerously, with the knowing that it's really hard. This time I'm praying for courage and perseverance to go with it. I'm trusting God will use me to help build His kingdom, and I know I will be greatly rewarded, maybe not in this life, but definitely in eternity.
