This year, my wife and I were honored to speak at the DEVELOP Leadership Conference. To say I was nervous is an understatement—but we followed our own advice and did it… scared.

And let me tell you—my wife absolutely nailed it. She brought the fire, the wisdom, and the authenticity.

Honestly, I think she needs to come on the podcast. Don’t you agree?

In this honest and inspiring episode of the Sunday School Minute, we’re getting real about fear—the fear of failure, rejection, and even success—that holds us back from stepping fully into our calling. With a personal story of the first time I asked my wife out on a date, a powerful letter to fear, this episode will challenge you. Don't take a step out in faith, instead take two and leave perfection behind. Whether you’re teaching your first lesson or trying something bold and new in Sunday School, this is your reminder: fear doesn’t get the final say.
