Episode 68

When God Calls You Out of Your Comfort Zone — with Laken Kimsey

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Laken Kimsey — a husband, father of three, former ministry leader, and the owner of Laken Lee Creative. Laken has been part of my journey behind the scenes for years, and now I finally get to share his heart, his story, and what Jesus is teaching him in this season.

Laken opens up about stepping out of the comfort of a steady salary and into the unknown of launching his own business — not to build an empire, but to follow the voice of God with full surrender. We talk about what it really means to trust the Lord when you can’t see the entire path, why obedience often feels like fear, and how God uses spouses, community, and quiet journaling moments to guide us one step at a time.

This conversation is honest, practical, and full of faith. If you’re in a season where God is asking you to step out, trust more deeply, or surrender what feels safe, Laken’s story will encourage you to believe that God is in every detail — and He’ll meet you on the other side of your “yes.”

Listen in and be reminded: God is faithful, and His light is always enough for the next step.

Steve Campbell

Hey there — I’m Steve Campbell. I’m a husband, dad to four amazing kids, follower of Jesus, and someone who wakes up every day wanting to help people live with more clarity, courage, and purpose.

Life has taught me that faith isn’t just something you talk about — it’s something you live, wrestle with, and anchor everything to. My relationship with Jesus shapes how I love my family, how I lead, how I speak, and how I show up for others. Every podcast, conversation, and connection I make starts there — from a place of grace, humility, and hope.

My Heart Behind The One Big Thing
I started The One Big Thing podcast because I believe each of us is created on purpose and for a purpose. We all carry something unique that can make a difference — not someday, but right now. Through the stories, lessons, and conversations on the podcast, my prayer is that you’ll discover the spark God placed in you and feel encouraged to take your next faithful step.

I don’t have all the answers — but I’ve learned that when you stay close to Jesus, stay curious, and keep moving forward, amazing things can unfold.

Beyond the Mic
At home, I’m just “Dad.” My wife and our four kids are my greatest joy and daily reminder of what really matters. They keep me grounded, laughing, and trusting God in the middle of the chaos and beauty of everyday life.

I’m passionate about encouraging others — whether through a podcast episode, a post, or a conversation over coffee. I believe that hope is contagious and that small, honest moments can change lives.

What You’ll Find Here
This space is about real stories, faith filled encouragement, and practical wisdom for life and leadership. My hope is that you don’t just listen — you feel seen, challenged, and reminded that you’re not alone.

If you’ve landed here, maybe it’s not by accident. Maybe God’s nudging you toward your next “one big thing.” I’m glad you’re here — let’s walk it out together.
