In this episode of the PS podcast, Matt Mead and Wes McAdams discuss the themes of fear, calling, and confidence in faith. They explore the difference between irrational and rational fears, the importance of community in recognizing one's calling, and how experiences shape our qualifications for ministry. The conversation emphasizes the need for a victory mindset, where believers can approach life with confidence in Christ, understanding that "the good fight is the only fight we can't lose." They also touch on the dangers of seeking affirmation from others and the importance of sound teaching.
