In this episode I tell you a story of how I learned to face my fear and take action in spite of it. I had literally run away from this fear in the past but was in a position with no great options; so I faced my fear and did what needed to be done afraid. I also tell you what I saw in my life as a direct result of not running from my fear.

Key Takeaways:

1. What we focus on grows.
2. Taking action will disarm our fear.

Truths to remember this week:

1. "Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on the very glorious work of God, praising him always." Phil. 4:8
2. "And if anyone longs to be wise, ask God for wisdom, and he will give it! He won't see your lack of wisdom as an opportunity to scold you over your failures, but he will overwhelm your failures with his generous grace." James 1:5

Remember - you probably don't need a big change: you just need a small revelation that can shift everything.

I answer questions that I received from some of you -

1. What was the process of starting a podcast? Was it a new idea or something you've been thinking about for a while?
2. What made "the summer of hell" the summer of hell?

I also tell you several things I learned from both of these experiences that I hope might help and encourage you if you are experiencing similar questions and circumstances.

In this episode I tell you about myself, how my relationship with God developed, and the Summer of Hell and how it pushed me into a much deeper, more personal revelation of God. I tell you about how knowing truth in my head was very different from experiencing truth in my heart and how my thoughts and beliefs changed drastically because of it.

Key takeaways -

1. True change starts in our beliefs. Knowing truth with our mind does nothing at all until we allow truth to change our beliefs.
2. Living from God's approval is much better than trying to live for others' approval.

Truth to remember this week -

1. "...be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think..." Romans 12:2
2. "Fill your thoughts with my words until they penetrate deep into your spirit. Then, as you unwrap my words, they will impart true life and radiant health into the very core of your being." Proverbs 4:21,22
3. "The fear of mankind is a snare, but the one who trusts in the Lord is protected." Proverbs 19:25

Remember this – you probably don’t need a big change; you just need a small revelation that can shift everything. So don’t overlook the small stuff!
