163. Challenging the Status Quo

In this end-of-year episode of What the Prophets Say, Emma Stark is joined by Louise Reid and Karyn Stewart for a lively, provocative, and deeply prophetic conversation about curiosity, courage, sharpening, and the call to get out of the boat.

As 2025 draws to a close, the trio reflects on what must be carried forward, and what must be left behind. They unpack the necessity of relationships that challenge us, conversations that sharpen rather than soothe, and the danger of comfort masquerading as faithfulness.

This episode explores:

  • Why provocation can be a gift from God
  • How curiosity keeps us spiritually alive
  • Why comfort and fear are equally limiting
  • Peter’s leap out of the boat - and why sinking wasn’t failure
  • The power of being rescued by Jesus after the leap
  • How betrayal, failure, and discomfort become catalysts for growth
  • Why God deliberately frustrates the status quo
  • The call to adventurous faith as we step into 2026

This is a conversation for leaders, pioneers, and believers who sense that the season ahead requires more bravery, more curiosity, and more dependence on God than ever before.
