We often hear the phrase, “Location is everything.” But when it comes to the struggles we carry, the frustrations we feel, and the patterns that keep repeating in our lives—location isn’t always the issue. In this eye-opening episode of Motivating Moments with Pastor Steve Evans, Pastor Steve explores the deeper truth: sometimes changing locations doesn’t fix anything… because the real battle isn’t around us, it’s within us.

Through practical teaching, biblical insight, and real conversations—including what Pastor Steve learned from leaders in Trinidad—you’ll discover why problems often follow us from place to place and why a change of scenery can’t heal what hasn’t been confronted in the heart.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

When location truly matters—and when leaving is the wisest decision.

When location doesn’t matter—because you can’t outrun the issues God is trying to grow you through.

How escapism delays transformation and why discomfort doesn’t always mean danger.

How to discern between a toxic place and a stretching place so you don’t short-circuit your own growth.

Three questions to ask yourself before making a major life change in work, relationships, church, or calling.

Pastor Steve challenges listeners to take an honest look at their current location—whether it’s a job, a relationship, or a season of life—and evaluate:

Is the place really the problem… or is the problem the posture of my heart?

If your struggles feel cyclical, this episode will help you understand why. Sometimes we keep walking toward the goal but away from the test that would prepare us for it.

Key Takeaway:

Location matters sometimes, but not always. Don’t leave a place God intends to use to grow you. And don’t stay in a place He’s calling you out of. The wisdom is in learning to tell the difference.

Listen now—and let God transform not just your surroundings, but your soul.
