When Spirit Calls You Beyond Your Comfort Zone
Connect With Spirit·Chris Lippincott·Mar 12, 2025· 3 minutes

There comes a moment on the spiritual path when everything you thought you knew begins to shift. The beliefs you once held tightly soften. The certainty you clung to unravels. You find yourself standing at the edge of the unknown, feeling both drawn forward and hesitant to step beyond what feels familiar.

This is the space where Spirit does its deepest work.

The call to connect with Spirit isn’t about reinforcing what we already believe—it’s about expanding into what we never considered before. It’s about seeing the world, and yourself, with fresh eyes. But that kind of transformation rarely happens in comfort. More often, it unfolds in the stretching, the questioning, the gentle unraveling of what no longer serves us.

And yet, uncertainty isn’t something to fear—it’s something to lean into. Because just beyond it, Spirit is waiting.

This week, I invite you to explore what it means to connect with Spirit in a way that stretches you. Instead of seeking only comfort or validation, try stepping into the unknown with curiosity. Here’s how you can start:

  • Sit with a question you don’t have the answer to. Instead of rushing to resolve it, allow Spirit to show you what unfolds. Pay attention to the signs, synchronicities, and inner nudges that appear.

  • Let go of needing proof. Spirit often speaks in whispers, feelings, and symbols. If you find yourself doubting, ask: What if I trusted this moment, just for today?

  • Try a new spiritual practice that challenges you. If you’re used to structured prayer, try intuitive journaling. If you rely on meditation, experiment with sitting in silence and simply listening. Spirit speaks in many ways—sometimes, we just need to shift how we’re listening.

  • Embrace discomfort as part of the journey. Growth isn’t always smooth, but it’s always leading you somewhere. When you feel resistance, ask: What is Spirit trying to teach me here?

The path to Spirit isn’t a straight line—it’s an unfolding. It will take you to places you never expected, ask you to consider truths you hadn’t imagined, and reveal insights that shift the very foundation of your being. And in that expansion, you’ll find something even more profound than certainty.

You’ll find a connection that is vast, alive, and ever-deepening.

So this week, take a step beyond your comfort zone. Let yourself be surprised. Let Spirit lead the way.



Have you ever felt like Spirit was trying to communicate with you, but you weren’t sure how to recognize the signs? Maybe you've had an intuitive nudge, a synchronistic moment, or a fleeting feeling of connection—only to doubt it immediately after.

In this episode of the Spirits Beside Us Podcast, I’m sharing my own journey of discovering Spirit’s subtle messages, how daily meditation changed everything, and why trusting the quiet whispers of intuition is the key to deepening your spiritual connection. Whether you’re just beginning or looking to strengthen your practice, this conversation will help you recognize, trust, and embrace the guidance that’s always around you.
