414: God Does Not Give Us A Spirit of Fear

Fear and anxiety among moms today is rampant. In the emails we receive, the churches we visit, and with the moms Karen speaks to- fear is a big deal. Today Karen teaches us a powerful verse and reminds us to fight fear with the truth of God’s Word.

Episode Recap:
5:32 - Generally speaking, moms these days are incredibly fearful
6:23 - If fear does not come from God, where is it coming from?
8:27 - I want to trust my family to watch my kids, but feel like I should be scared of letting others watch them based on what I hear in society
12:12 - Help! I worry about all the “what ifs” in life
16:23 - Every evening my anxiety spikes and fear persists
19:33 - My son struggles with fear and I find it hard to understand or be compassionate

Questions for Discussion:
  1. Do you struggle with fear in your life? Have you ever contemplated 2 Timothy 1:7 “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”?
  2. Do you truly believe that God loves your child and is actively pursuing your child’s heart? 
  3. How can you fight fear with the Word of God this week? Some ideas: memorize it, write it out and post it around your home, play worship music, etc. 
  4. How are you praying for your child and your home this week?
