Many people delay growth because they believe they need more confidence, more certainty, or clearer answers before taking their next step. But progress rarely works that way.

In this episode of Motivating Moments, Pastor Steve Evans explores a simple yet powerful truth: small faith adds up. Drawing from Matthew 17:20, this conversation reframes faith not as something measured by intensity or emotion, but by consistency, direction, and action.

You’ll hear why waiting to “feel ready” often keeps people stuck, how movement strengthens confidence, and why small, intentional steps can create momentum in your work, leadership, and personal life. This episode offers encouragement for anyone navigating uncertainty while still wanting to move forward with clarity and purpose.

In This Episode

• Why confidence usually follows action—not the other way around
• How waiting for perfect clarity can slow progress
• What “small faith” looks like in everyday decisions
• Practical ways to move forward with what you already have

Key Takeaway

Progress doesn’t require big leaps. Small faith, applied consistently, adds up over time.

Growth rarely happens by chance. Whether in your work, leadership, or personal life, meaningful progress requires intention.

In this first episode of 2026, Motivating Moments enters a new season with a weekly format designed to deliver short, focused encouragement you can apply throughout your week. Pastor Steve Evans introduces this updated approach and explores a foundational principle that applies across every area of life: growth doesn’t happen automatically—it must be chosen.

Drawing from timeless wisdom rooted in Scripture, this episode examines why time and experience alone don’t guarantee development, how comfort and routine can quietly stall progress, and what it means to choose direction over drift. You’ll be challenged to reflect on the small, intentional decisions that shape long-term growth and create momentum over time.

If you’re looking to grow with clarity, purpose, and consistency—this episode sets the tone for the year ahead.

In This Episode

• Why Motivating Moments is moving to a weekly, shorter format
• Why time and experience alone don’t produce growth
• How comfort and routine can lead to stagnation
• The importance of choosing direction over drift
• Practical ways to pursue intentional growth this year

Key Takeaway

Growth isn’t dramatic—it’s deliberate. Choose direction, and progress will follow.

We often hear the phrase, “Location is everything.” But when it comes to the struggles we carry, the frustrations we feel, and the patterns that keep repeating in our lives—location isn’t always the issue. In this eye-opening episode of Motivating Moments with Pastor Steve Evans, Pastor Steve explores the deeper truth: sometimes changing locations doesn’t fix anything… because the real battle isn’t around us, it’s within us.

Through practical teaching, biblical insight, and real conversations—including what Pastor Steve learned from leaders in Trinidad—you’ll discover why problems often follow us from place to place and why a change of scenery can’t heal what hasn’t been confronted in the heart.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

When location truly matters—and when leaving is the wisest decision.

When location doesn’t matter—because you can’t outrun the issues God is trying to grow you through.

How escapism delays transformation and why discomfort doesn’t always mean danger.

How to discern between a toxic place and a stretching place so you don’t short-circuit your own growth.

Three questions to ask yourself before making a major life change in work, relationships, church, or calling.

Pastor Steve challenges listeners to take an honest look at their current location—whether it’s a job, a relationship, or a season of life—and evaluate:

Is the place really the problem… or is the problem the posture of my heart?

If your struggles feel cyclical, this episode will help you understand why. Sometimes we keep walking toward the goal but away from the test that would prepare us for it.

Key Takeaway:

Location matters sometimes, but not always. Don’t leave a place God intends to use to grow you. And don’t stay in a place He’s calling you out of. The wisdom is in learning to tell the difference.

Listen now—and let God transform not just your surroundings, but your soul.
