In this episode, Christina and Mandy dig into the fear of man — that quiet, exhausting habit of caring more about what people think than what's actually true. They talk through what it looks like in real life (overthinking texts, apologizing for existing, needing the last word), share personal stories about where it's tripped them up the most, and land on the one fear that actually sets you free: the fear of God.

Christina is joined today by Andrea Fahlor to talk about growing up through a hard childhood, finding faith as a young adult, and discovering God's calling in an unexpected place — a public school culinary classroom. She shares how God used her own pain to give her compassion for hurting students, what it looks like to boldly live out your faith in a secular workplace, and how trusting Him with the outcome frees you to simply show up and love others well.
