Fear may be loud—but it is not from God.

You were created to live with power, love, and a sound mind—not controlled by fear.

Fear is everywhere—but it was never meant to rule your life.

In this episode of Wisdom Words, Peggy Teague addresses one of the most common struggles we all face: fear.

Whether it’s fear of the future, failure, rejection, loss, or the unknown, fear has a way of quietly shaping our thoughts, decisions, and identity.

But God tells us clearly: fear is not from Him.

Rooted in 2 Timothy 1:7, this episode reveals the truth that God has already given us everything we need to overcome fear—His power, His love, and a sound mind. You’ll learn to recognize the difference between two types of fear: Yirah (awe and reverence for God) and Paha (fear rooted in dread and anxiety).

Through biblical examples, personal stories, and practical encouragement, Peggy reminds us that fear often grows from what we believe—and victory begins when we choose to trust God instead.

From the story of the widow’s oil to a child’s honest confession of fear, this episode gently calls you back to a place of surrender, trust, and confidence in God’s unfailing love.

Because when you truly know His love, fear loses its power.
