Fear shows up at the doorway of nearly every sacred invitation.
In this episode, I sit down again with David Butler for a conversation about fear, becoming, and the quiet, holy way God moves people forward. We talk about why fear so often accompanies God’s invitations—and why that fear is not a sign to stop, but a sign to pay attention.
Drawing from the Christmas story, the creation account, and the consistent patterns God has used from the very beginning, this conversation reframes growth, change, and the pressure we feel—especially around a new year. What surprised me most was how much clarity came not from looking ahead, but from looking backward and recognizing where God has already been at work.
This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by expectations, paralyzed by fear, or unsure how to step into what’s next. It’s a reminder that holiness is often found in the ordinary, that growth is meant to be slow, and that God never asks us to move forward without first saying, “Fear not.”
Wherever this episode finds you, let it be a pause.
Let it be perspective.
Let it be permission to see your life through God’s lens—not the world’s.
