Hearing phrases like "it was God's idea" or " it was time for him to go" after the death of his uncle scared young 9-year-old Matt. It caused him to have an unhealthy fear of God and His authority.
According to Matt's perception, people died, and God did it.
As Matt grew older, his fear of God continued to affect him emotionally and mentally. He felt trapped in a cycle of anxiety, constantly worrying about whether he was doing enough to please God and avoid His supposed wrath. This fear had a profound impact on his life, leading to feelings of guilt, inadequacy, and a constant need for validation. How could he keep hearing "God is good" all the time when all Matt could see was how mean He was.
Matt spent years doing all the good things he could to please God and stay in His good graces. Until he figured out he could never do enough 'good' to please God.
Listen in as Matt finds undiluted love, and freedom from fear & anxiety.
