Description

In episode #26 of the UN-Perfect Podcast, we delve into fear and its implications for our spiritual lives. Fear is not a one-size-fits-all package, and understanding its different aspects can help us live fearlessly.

We unpack three types of fear - timidity/cowardice, fear of tomorrow (the unknowns and the knowns, the "what-ifs"), and fear of eternity - and look to God's word for hope, peace, and the next steps to move out of fear and into confident security and rest.


Some scriptures found in today's episode:
2 Timothy 1:5-8
Matthew 25:14-30
Psalm 91
1 John 4:18 (with  Matthew 14:26 and John 20:19)
Matthew 10:28


Powerful Quotes shared in the episode:

* When a train goes through a tunnel, and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.  - Corrie Ten Boom

* If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear.  His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open to our prayer – His grace sufficient, His promise unchangeable. Under his protection, though the path of duty should lie through fire and water, we may cheerfully and confidently pursue it.  - John Newton

* Everything you’re afraid could happen. It might even happen. But if you are safely tucked under my wings, my protective shield, if you know me like you know your own soul, YOU DON’T HAVE TO FEAR IT.  - Shelly Snead

* Even the enemy needs permission from God to do what he wants with you.  - Joyce Rachelle

* ...Even when our deliverance doesn’t look the way we thought it would - He is still protecting us. Sometimes, deliverance comes through a crown of thorns and a cross, not just a healing or a miracle. I want to be so tightly resting under his feathers that I’m no longer fearful of which route he chooses. - Shelly Snead
