Summary:
In this episode, we tackle one of the most subtle and destructive traps in the Christian life: the fear of man. So many believers live for the approval, acceptance, and applause of others—yet this “disease to please” suffocates conviction, silences our witness, and weakens our walk with God. When people become big and God becomes small, we lose courage, clarity, and calling. But there is a cure: the fear of God.
Takeaways:
- Living for approval is bondage — When people’s opinions matter more than God’s, we lose spiritual freedom.
- The fear of man silences conviction — It keeps us from speaking, standing, and obeying when it counts.
- People cannot define your identity — Only God has the authority to say who you are.
- Fear kills courage — When fear of people enters, faith and boldness exit.
- Every believer will face a moment of choice — Stand with God or blend in with the crowd.
- Approval from God is worth more than applause from crowds — The only words that matter in the end are, “Well done.
