“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” You’ve probably heard that verse before—but what does it really mean? Is it about being scared of God, or is it something much deeper?

In this powerful episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick and Josh Craft dive into one of the most misunderstood biblical concepts: the fear of God. From Philippians’ call to “work out your salvation with fear and trembling” to Solomon’s conclusion in Ecclesiastes, we unpack why reverence and awe for God are essential for every Christian man who wants to live with wisdom, strength, and integrity. You’ll discover:

• Why “fear of the Lord” is not about being afraid, but about living in reverence, awe, and submission.
• How history shows what happens when people lose their awe of God.
• The connection between fearing God and building true wisdom, strength, and leadership in your life.
• Practical ways to live with reverence every day—in your home, your work, your marriage, and your walk with God.

This conversation will challenge complacency, sharpen your perspective, and call you to a higher way of living. If you want wisdom that endures, this episode will show you where it begins.
