How do I stop researching and just start?
By Ricardo Zaal, Founder and Lead Pastor ·

You have forty tabs open. Three courses bought, two half watched. A folder of articles on the exact thing you keep meaning to start. Every new method feels like the missing piece, so you read one more before you begin. Here is the short answer. Reading is not starting. At some point the only next step is a small, ugly first attempt, and God does not ask you to have it all figured out first. James tells us why.
"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
- James 2:26 (KJV)
Pick the smallest piece of the thing and do it badly for ten minutes today. A paragraph, one phone call, one sketch. Close every tab first.
What is the smallest version of this you could finish before tonight?
God, I have been hiding behind research. Give me the nerve to start before I feel ready, and let me leave the fear with You. Amen.
