In this week’s episode, we’re talking about something many of us wrestle with quietly—fear and how it often leads us to try and take control of everything around us. Whether it's people, situations, or outcomes, fear can slowly turn us into someone we never intended to be.

But what if faith doesn’t mean never feeling afraid? What if it’s about learning to move forward even when fear is present?

I’m sharing how fear has shown up in my own life, how it led me to try and shape everything to fit a certain outcome, and how God has been teaching me to trust Him instead of trying to manage everything myself. Letting go isn’t easy. Trusting God takes humility, patience, and a willingness to admit we don’t have all the answers.

If you’ve ever struggled with control, fear, or just trying to hold everything together, this one is for you.
