Episode Synopsis

Fear touches every life—a universal emotion that can paralyze our hearts and steal our peace. But what happens when we view fear through a spiritual lens? What might change if we saw it not just as something to fight against, but as an opportunity to grow closer to God?The Bible doesn't shame us for feeling afraid. Instead, it offers a profound alternative: "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you" (Psalm 56:3). This simple verse reveals the heart of facing fear with faith—acknowledging our humanness while reaching for divine strength. From Moses questioning his abilities to the disciples panicking in the storm, even spiritual giants experienced moments of doubt. Yet in each case, God met them exactly where they were, transforming their fear into stepping stones toward deeper trust.God offers us the beautiful image of being sheltered under His wings—a place where courage grows as fear fades. "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge" (Psalm 91:4). This isn't just poetic language; it's a promise that we're never exposed or alone when fear threatens to overwhelm. Through prayer, Scripture meditation, and small daily acts of faith, we can build a foundation of courage that stands firm even when circumstances feel uncertain. Faith doesn't eliminate challenges, but it fundamentally changes how we face them.Have you been carrying fears that feel too heavy? What would change if you surrendered them to God today? Your story of courage begins with a single step of trust. Take that step now, knowing that the God who calmed storms and steadied trembling hearts still works powerfully today. His wings remain open, offering both refuge in the struggle and strength for the journey ahead.Support the showFor more inspiration visit us on Instagram @FaithCoax or LifeCoax.com
