  <description>When the mission feels massive, how do you take the first step?
We all feel the pressure. With souls on the line, it feels like we need big plans, big programs, big results. But what if the most fruitful thing you could do today was simply to take one small step? In this episode, I share four strategies that have helped me and others start small, build momentum, and trust that God will grow what we begin. Whether you're leading a parish, a ministry, or just trying to follow Jesus more closely, I want to encourage you: don’t wait for perfect. Start small. God delights in small beginnings, and He’ll grow them into something beautiful.
[01:42] Strategy 1: Shrink the First Step
[02:46] Strategy 2: Do the Next Right Thing
[04:42] Strategy 3: Settle for Incomplete and Imperfect
[08:43] Strategy 4: Biblical Encouragement to Start Small
[10:11] Closing Thoughts and Prayer
