LOC NDBS 8-Week Clarity Series – Session 4: The Problem with Fitting In

Pastor Ahmad Hall | July 1, 2025

In Session 4 of LOC’s NDBS, Pastor Ahmad Hall leads a bold and necessary conversation titled The Problem With Fitting In. This session challenges us to confront the ways we shrink, stay silent, or play small—just to maintain peace or preserve relationships. We often dumb down our calling to fit into friendships, family dynamics, romantic relationships, and even professional circles. Sometimes we withhold truth not because we don’t know it, but because we fear others will feel intimidated or jealous.

This NDBS experience dives deep into the subtle compromises we make—how we lose authenticity to avoid conflict, dilute our light to keep others comfortable, and betray our own identity to “keep the peace.” Pastor Hall pushes us to examine these patterns through a biblical lens and invites us to reclaim the courage to live fully, speak truth in love, and stand out as people set apart.

This is a study—it’s a mirror. Listen in and reflect on where you’ve been fitting in when you were called to stand out.
