We all have our comfortable answers.
It happens in the classroom.
It happens within churches.
Sometimes, the challenge required is to take someone beyond their comfort response.
To drag someone away from their area of expertise.
To invite someone to empathise with another whom they may not otherwise.
To draw someone to go beyond their pat answer.
One place where this can raise its head is prayer.
When we pray we can fall into common cliques.
We can drift into our comfortable areas.
The challenge of a leader/teacher, at times, is to ask for more.
To push for more.
To want more.
To be prepared to wait for more.
Otherwise, people will be content to remian in their comfort zone.
