God Didn’t Give You Fear: What Gideon Teaches Us About Courage

Have you ever felt too afraid to do what God is calling you to do? You're not alone, and you're not powerless. In this episode, we dive deep into the story of Gideon, a man who went from hiding in fear to leading a nation to freedom.

Fear is real, but it doesn’t have to rule your life. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Learn how fear operates in the brain, how it blocks obedience, and what Scripture teaches us about conquering fear through discipline, trust, and spiritual strength.

You'll discover:

  • Why fear is a spiritual battle, not just a mental one
  • How obedience is the key to overcoming fear
  • What it means to discipline your flesh and build spiritual muscle
  • Why Gideon's story is a blueprint for your own breakthrough
  • How love and faith empower you to act, even when you're scared
