Fear can sneak up on us when we least expect it — through the news we read, a sudden health concern, or even the feeling of being alone. In this episode, I talk about how fear shows up in our lives and how we can turn it into something that protects and strengthens us instead of holding us back. Together, we’ll look at practical ways to replace anxiety with faith, calmness, and action.
Fear is a natural part of life, something God built into us for safety. But when fear becomes too strong or misplaced, it can steal our joy and peace. I share personal reflections — from sleepless nights and worry-filled days to lessons learned from my dog Pearl — to remind us that even fear can be our teacher. By slowing down, breathing, and taking small, meaningful steps, we can transform fearful thoughts into courage and clarity.
When we name our fears and take action, we gain freedom. And when we bring faith, reason, and community into the picture, fear loses its power. Whether you’re facing health issues, uncertainty, or emotional strain, this episode offers gentle encouragement to move forward with confidence.
