-----------------------------Ep 246 I On When The Wrong Voice Wins: On Fear, Framing, and Fractured Followership

In moments of crisis, whose voice do we trust?

This week, we revisit the story of the spies — not as a children’s tale of giants and grapes, but as a modern case study in leadership failure, emotional mismanagement, and the dangerous allure of tribal familiarity.

Why did the people believe the fearful report over God’s promise?

Why didn’t Moses reframe the narrative when he had the chance?

Through the lens of leadership psychology, decision-making, and real-world parallels — including the current volatile situation in Israel — we explore what happens when fear sounds more familiar than truth.

Key insights include:

• The hidden cost of leadership silence

• Why followership fails without emotional containment
• And how fear disguised as insight derails entire missions

This isn’t just biblical. It’s now.
