When you are faced with a situation that you need someone to help you, sometimes it can be very frustrating. You wonder if they are equipped to help. You wonder if they will even care enough to help.

One of the hardest things to do in life is to... change.  We often get comfortable where we are and even though we want to change we find ourselves stuck on the places where we are.  But even more frequently it's hard to change because the people around us have gotten used to us being the way we are.  Not only do they give us permission to stay in that manner, they push us to stay there as they are now comfortable with us there.  Even though we know we need to change we stay in the same place because others influence us to stay there as it makes them comfortable with who they are. In this message, as Pastor Brown starts his new series Good Character, he helps us to identify the change we need and helps to show us how to make that change.

What would you do?
