What happens when fear feels like your most familiar emotion, yet God is calling you to step boldly into His promises? This conversation with author and teacher Heidi Lee Anderson explores the beautiful tension between feeling afraid and living afraid.

In this episode of Napkin Noes, Heidi opens up about her cancer story, the prophetic word spoken over her during treatment, and how meeting her husband in the middle of chemotherapy became one of God's most beautiful plot twists. Her new devotional All In, All Yours walks through the book of Joshua, showing us how the Israelites' conquest of the Promised Land mirrors our own spiritual battles today.

We explore the fascinating Biblical timeline from Jacob's wrestling match with God to Joshua leading God's people across the Jordan River—and why understanding this history helps us read Scripture with fresh eyes. Heidi breaks down the difference between Canaan as enemy-held territory and Israel as God's intended inheritance, creating a powerful parallel for the abundant life Christ has secured for us.

What You'll Discover in This Episode:

• The crucial difference between feeling fear and becoming fearful—and how this shift in perspective can set you free.
• Why God sometimes keeps "giants in the land" even after we've entered His promises, and how these battles train us for victory.
• Biblical insights into Israel's history that illuminate current events and deepen your Scripture reading.
• How to discern God's voice and timing when you're standing at a crossroads, unsure whether to move forward or wait.
• The power of generational prayer through Grandma Phyllis's daily intercession that covered Heidi's entire life—including praying for her future husband before she was even born.

Heidi's story reminds us that God's timing is perfect, even when His delays feel like denials. Whether you're waiting for a promise to unfold, wrestling with fear about the future, or wondering how to hear God's voice more clearly, this conversation offers both biblical truth and personal encouragement for the road ahead.
