In this episode of Flawed Men of Faith, Sidney unpacks one of the biggest struggles that holds men back—fear. Not the kind that keeps us safe, but the kind that keeps us stuck. Sidney dives deep into the illusion of fear and how most of what we fear either never happens or isn’t as bad as we imagined.
Using 2 Timothy 1:7 as the foundation—“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”—he introduces his 95/4/1 Theory: 95% of the fears we carry never come to pass. The 4% that do are rarely as devastating as we expect. And the 1% that actually hit hard? They didn’t destroy us—and in many cases, they developed us.
Sidney also breaks down the difference between true fear, false fears, and unwarranted anxieties, helping men recognize when their thoughts are rooted in past pain or future uncertainty, not present truth.
This episode is a call to stop living an inch deep, ruled by shadows and “what-ifs,” and to start standing in the power, love, and sound mind that God already gave us.
