    Faith isn’t safe—it’s spelled R-I-S-K. In this stirring episode of Seedbed Inc’s “Wake Up Call,” Dan Wilt invites you to step out of your comfort zone and discover what it really means to live as Christ’s ambassador in your everyday moments. Whether you’re ministering in a grocery store aisle, reaching out to a neighbor, or simply praying for someone quietly in private, Dan Wilt challenges us to see discipleship and spiritual transformation as a journey that calls for boldness, humility, and deep love.

    Journey with Dan Wilt as he breaks down the reality of the Great Commission from Matthew 28:18-20 and shares why spiritual growth is inseparable from emotional health. You’ll hear relatable stories—like Greg learning the gentle art of prayer ministry—and gain practical encouragement to move beyond fear and embrace risk as essential to faith.

    Tune in for key moments, such as:

    The simple question that can open astonishing doors: “May I pray for you?”

    Why your ordinary actions and unseen heart are always on display, shaping the people around you in ways you may never expect

    How true ministry isn’t about possessing a special “anointing,” but responding in small acts of courageous obedience every day

    Dan Wilt wraps up with a heartfelt prayer and actionable prompts, urging you to take even the smallest risk today—to smile more, reach out to someone, or let God’s love shine through you. Inspired by the hymn “O God, Our Help in Ages Past,” you’ll walk away ready to be part of something bigger and more beautiful than you imagined.
