This is the first podcast episode in our series “The Path to Peace” based on a book project I am working on called The Path to Peace: 10 Verses to Develop Faith Over Fear. Over the course of this series, I will share some key verses from the Bible that are foundational to the work I do with athletes and business leaders around sports performance/sports psychology and leadership coaching.

In this episode of Monday Morning Moments, I share one of my favorite verses about conquering our fears: 2 Timothy 1:7.

 

 

Show Notes:

• 2 Timothy 1:7″For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (NKJV)

• Where does fear come from?

  • Culture/The World – everything is Breaking News!

  • Circumstances

  • The Enemy – who wants to steal our joy, kill our purpose and destroy our impact.

• Fear causes us to:

  • Be distracted

  • Be disillusioned

  • Be discouraged

• Knowing that God has not given us the spirit of fear can be a game changer in our life. It’s the first step to naming and identifying our fears and redirecting our focus on Him and what His Spirit wants to give us. Instead of looking down, we look up and focus our mind on His power and strength knowing it can help us prevail in the midst of a challenging moment. We look around and feel His love and begin to share that with others setting the example for what a Spirit-filled life looks like. And, we begin to take steps forward in faith knowing we have been given a sound mind and the discipline and self control to make wise choices about what we think, say, and do based on His wisdom and the discerning Spirit Her has given us. We can conquer our anxiety if we apply this verse in our lives. It is the foundation of renewing our mind to truth and replacing our fear with faith.
