Ep. 59: Do It Afraid: Lessons from Women in Scripture to Help You Move Forward When Fear Tries to Hold You Back


Listen Later

Hey friends, welcome back to Nourished to Bloom!

Today’s episode is inspired by a powerful message that landed in my devotional this morning: Do It Afraid.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in self-doubt, or just plain scared to step into something new—whether it’s recording a podcast, starting that business, or even tackling the never-ending laundry—this one’s for you.

We’re taking encouragement straight from the Gospels, where the women at the tomb faced fear, confusion, and uncertainty after Jesus’s resurrection… and still chose to move forward. Their faith wasn’t perfect, but they didn’t wait for the fear to pass. They obeyed anyway—and Jesus met them right there, on the way.

This episode isn’t just about big, life-changing callings. It’s about everyday courage. Saying “yes” to small acts of obedience as much as the extraordinary ones.

I’m sharing 5 practical tools to help you take action—even when fear is loud: ✨ Identify your specific fear—what’s really holding you back? 🍃 Ask: What kind of good fruit might grow from leaning in? ❤️ Consider: Who are you serving—yourself, others, or God’s mission? 🚶🏼‍♀️ Take one small, loving step. Holiness is found in ordinary faithfulness, not in waiting for something grand. 🌷 Watch for where God is already showing up—even as you walk forward afraid.

If you’re ready to turn anxious energy into holy boldness, tune in for a soul-soothing pep talk, scriptural encouragement from the stories of Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Jesus, and practical steps you can use today—even if you’re shaking in your shoes.

🎧 Your weekly challenge: Don’t wait for the nerves to go away. Choose one thing the Lord is nudging you toward… and do it afraid. Then, keep your eyes open for how He shows up along the way.
