72\\ Navigating Grief: 3 Keys To Moving Forward After Loss + Tips To Help Others

Grief is a natural emotion that comes with experiencing loss, whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage, or the loss of a dream. It can be difficult to navigate grief and find ways to move forward after such an event. 
 
In today’s episode, I give you helpful strategies that can help you process grief to move forward. I will share some of my own journey and how I discovered a biblical blueprint to help me move forward through my pain and experience healing and peace.
 
This is a live message I just shared at my home church, The Gathering Church of St. Petersburg, Florida.
It’s loaded with great contact that you can begin implementing today. I also give practical tips on how you can walk along someone in their own grieving journey.

70\\ Heart Connection With God. Guidance And Tips To Grow In Your Faith With Chris Cree.

How do we love God with our heart, soul, mind and strength? (The greatest commandment)
What is the heart?
How are each of these areas different?
What does it mean to be still and know God? (Psalm 46:10)
 
Often we focus on the intellectual part of our relationship with God, doing activities such as Bible reading, prayer, and attending church from the head rather than from the heart. However, loving God is actually a response to Him first loving us.
Join me and my friend Chris Cree, who is the host of Two For Tuesdays, as we share the importance of connecting with God from the heart to experience a truly meaningful relationship with Him.

68\\ Is Feeling Unworthy Or Broken Preventing You From Receiving Healing And Wholeness?

Do you ever feel unworthy, unlovable, inadequate, broken vessel, not good enough, smart enough, spiritual enough…?
Are you struggling with an issue or confronted by painful memories or brokenness?
Trauma affects our body, emotions, thoughts and beliefs, and we need healing from these events. 
The good news is Jesus understands our brokenness and can help!
Brokenness was not the end of the story for Jesus, and through Him, neither is it the end of our story!
 
Through Jesus Christ, we can experience physical, emotional and spiritual healing. 
Whether you’ve been let down by disappointment, rejection, or resentment, Jesus came to heal your heart.
 
In this episode, I discuss Luke 4:18-19: Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
 
•“brokenhearted” : is from the Greek word that depicts a person who has been shattered or fractured by life. It is the picture of those whose lives have been continually split up and fragmented. 
•But Jesus said that He came to “heal” the brokenhearted! 
The word “heal” here means to set free or to loosen from the detrimental effects of a shattered life. The Greek meaning of this word speaks of a release from the destructive effects of brokenness. In other words, although there is every reason to experience and feel brokenness, the anointing that is on Jesus is more than enough to release you from its adverse effects. 
Even though you were once broken by life, the anointing of the Holy Spirit has the power to restore and release you from this captivity that has held you in emotional bondage.
•We live in the acceptable year of the Lord. We are in an age of grace.
God’s grace is sufficient to release you from the pain of that experience. It may not happen overnight, but with the grace of God working in you — and you cooperating with His grace through faith — He can restore what the enemy meant for destruction. 
 
Today I encourage you to throw open your arms and receive the grace of God that empowers and restores. It’s yours for the taking.
Receive God’s grace through Jesus’ performance and obedience of doing God’s will, and bringing salvation.
Agree with God’s Truth. (Amos 3:3)
Personalize and Speak God’s Word
Jesus has made you worthy to receive His grace, power and healing

66\\ Jesus, Salvation, Joy And Peace. Christmas’ Greatest Gifts!

The announcement of the birth of Jesus is such an encouraging message of great joy, hope, love and peace. 
I want to tie in the birth of Jesus with His resurrection, and what we have available today, in the New Covenant.
Jesus is the best gift ever given. He is the Savior of the world. His name in the Hebrew, Yeshua means salvation. 
Looking to find joy, peace, and salvation in Jesus? Discover the power of Jesus and how He can lift you out of whatever darkness or pain you may be facing. Learn how following Jesus can bring a newfound joy and peace into your life!
John 3:16 promises, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." 
When the Bible speaks of salvation as a gift from God, it emphasizes the fact that salvation is something given freely by Him rather than something we earn.  But the point of salvation is not so we won’t perish, but it’s to have eternal life.
John 17:3 says, “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
God wants to have a personal, intimate relationship with you!
From Luke 2:10-11, 2:14 we find that
Jesus offers us Salvation, which is a free gift that must be received.
It is not earned.  By His grace, God has already done everything to provide salvation. Your part is simply to believe and receive.
Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." 
 
What is the good news: The Gospel of Peace with God.
The angels were praising God and rejoicing that through Jesus, there was peace between God and mankind. This peace came through the blood sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. 
Colossians 1:20 “and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.”
-Jesus was rejected and beaten by men and bore our punishment so that we could be reconciled to God. 
-Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
 
Now God can justly love us. God isn’t mad at you; all of His judgment against our sin was placed on Jesus.  
This is the Gospel of peace. Jesus paid the punishment for sin in our place. He was the Suffering Servant who took our place. We now have a covenant of peace.   
Jesus’ obedience to do the Father’s will and shed His blood for you, makes you worthy to receive.
It’s called a gift of righteousness- by faith through God’s grace.
 
**Want to receive the free gift of salvation offered by Jesus Christ? You can accept it right now.  All you must do is "confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" Romans 10:9. 
Pray this now out loud:
“Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Savior. I believe in my heart that you are the Son of God and He raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!”
 
The very moment you commit your life to Jesus Christ, the truth of His Word instantly comes to pass in your spirit and a new way of thriving is available. All of the benefits of salvation are for you!
 
If you prayed that prayer and meant it from your heart, you are save. 
Please contact me and let me know that you’ve prayed to receive Jesus as your Savior. It says that all of heaven celebrates when someone receives Jesus, and I want to celebrate with you as well.

Jesus is the Savior of the World, Prince of Peace, Immanuel....
Salvation means more than the forgiveness of our sins so we can go to heaven! Salvation includes deliverance, protection, prosperity, peace, healing and wholeness. It sums up all of the blessings bestowed by God on those who are in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit!
 
Jesus’ Salvation is for the whole person: spirit, soul and body. He has an entire benefits package for you in His finished work on the cross. It’s time to believe and receive all He has paid for you.
 
Jesus is our salvation and has redeemed us. To redeem means to brings back to its original state, even if we have brought something on ourself. Redemption is both spiritual and physical. 
Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection redeemed mankind back to God’s original plan of being in a close, personal relationship with Him.

The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes. (Romans 1:16)

Ep. 4 God Desires Relationship With You

64\\ How To Receive The Emotional Desires of Your Heart with Chris Cree

God wants to connect with us in a deep and authentic way, to reveal His love and heal our brokenness, so we can experience His freedom, joy and peace!
Our soul needs to prosper so we can experience a thriving life. (3John 1:2)
Once a month, I am a guest on my friend Chris Cree of NewCREEations Ministries show called Two For Tuesday, where he does a live teaching/discussion. This is that recording, where we discuss how we can receive the emotional desires of our heart.  
I also recently conducted an impromptu coaching session for Chris, where he experienced God giving him some unknown emotional desires. In the coaching session, we were able to uncover some limiting beliefs and unhealthy coping strategies in order for Chris to breakthrough to a new level.
Chris, like many had been taught if he wanted something, or enjoyed it, that's it his flesh and not of God. He was also taught to devalue his emotions. Yet the Bible talks about when we delight ourselves in God, He gives us the desires of our hearts. (Psalm 37:4)
 
God is a heart God. We are to love Him with our whole heart, mind, soul and strength.  
We are spirit, soul and body.
Spiritual growth and emotional wellness go hand-in-hand.
Emotional healing and wholeness should be a regular part of our Christian lifestyle.

61\\ The Importance of Loving Yourself In Order To Love Others Well.

How you view yourself will impact how you view and love others.
Too often, we can have a wrong view of who God is and we we are, which will affect how we relate to others.
 
This impacts how we fulfill the greatest Commandment.
In Matthew 22:37-39 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
In John 13:34, Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”
 
My husband, Fred and I discuss the importance of receiving God’s love and to know your identity in Christ, so you can love others well.
 
In order to love your neighbor as yourself, you need to love yourself. You need to see yourself the way the Lord see you, through His redemption.
Jesus came to heal the broken hearted and set people free from bondage like guilt, shame and condemnation. Jesus wants us to take His yoke upon Him and experience His Light, Life and Love.
 
In having a deep, personal relationship with Jesus, and aligning our beliefs to Truth, we begin a process of being conformed into the image of Jesus Christ. 
 
Spiritual maturity and emotional maturity are inseparable. We are to be self-aware, not self-condemning. The enemy is the voice of the accuser and there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)

60\\ Is Your Soul Prospering? Why Emotional Wellness Is Critical To Our Health, Relationships and Life!

Is it well with your soul?
 
Have you ever been taught HOW to process your strong emotions and experience health and wholeness?
 
3 John 2:1  Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 
The King James Version begins the verse with John saying ”Beloved, I wish above all things…” 
 
Transformation is an inside out process. Often we can focus on disciplining ourselves to look at our thoughts and renewing our mind, but often have an intellectual approach. (Romans 12:2) 
Renewing our minds is not just memorizing Scripture, and taking our thoughts captive. We must process our emotional needs and limiting beliefs, or we can become stuck, unable to move forward into all that God has purposed for us.
 
In this episode, my husband, Fred and I discuss the importance of a thriving soul, where we examine our emotions, become self-aware, then connect with God to experience healing and wholeness.
 
Key Scriptures:
Ecclesiastes 3:4 “a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,” 
Luke 1:29-47 (Mary’s response)
John 2:1-12 (First miracle of Jesus)
Philippians 4:6-7
 
I want to help you live at a higher level where your soul (mind, will emotions, imagination) thrives, so you can experience a prosperous life.

59\\ Faithfulness vs Obedience. Does The Difference Matter?

Do you struggle with obedience?
Is it difficult surrendering to God?
 
I invite you into a faithfulness mindset shift, instead of focusing on obedience.  Here's why:
Faithfulness is living from the inside-out, where your heart is involved, and it’s transformative. Obedience doesn’t mean God has our heart and won’t transform us. Obedience trains us to follow God’s Word, but we can obey but not love. Often, obedience can be of performance and a punishment-based relationship vs. God’s loving kindness and faithfulness.
 
Our greatest command is to love God with all that we are and to love others as ourself.
God wants our heart. We are to be conformed into the image of Christ. He is called Faithful and True! (Revelation 19:11)
Jesus said people would know that we are His disciples by our love.(John 13:35)
Faithfulness is a fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23)
When I surrender to Love, I will take steps of obedience and faith. Love is my motive to be faithful to God, and then practice it.
 
In the Old Covenant obedience was crucial because it determined whether God's people received blessing or curses. (1 Samuel 15:22)
In the New Covenant, faithfulness comes to the forefront. Hebrews 11 is known as the “Hall of Faith” not obedience.
As New Covenant Believers of Jesus Christ, we are already blessed based upon Jesus’ obedience and performance. God has already blessed us Ephesians 1 
2 Peter 1:2-4
 
In this episode, I share a live discussion I had with my friend, Chris Cree of New CREEations Ministries. We discuss a Kingdom Mindset about the difference between faithfulness and obedience and why faithfulness is so important.

58\\ Is Social Media Stealing Your Time & Emotional Wellness? Why You Might Want To Take A Short Break with Sandy Cooper

Have you ever tracked how much time you spend on a social media platform and/or how you feel afterwards?
Have you ever got sucked into a continual scrolling?
Perhaps you read a post or comment that was very divisive and made you angry. Now you can’t even talk to that person.
 
Social media like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have had a dramatic impact on our society, and many are rethinking how much time they want to spend on their devices. Especially now as we head into elections and the holiday season. 
 
I want to help you thrive emotionally, relationally, spiritually and physically. In doing so, we need to be intentional and address anything that might have a control over us. (John 10:10, 3John1:2, Romans 12:2)
 
In today's episode, my new friend and guest, Sandy Cooper, discuss the reasons why she needed to take a break from social media, and how she now helps others reclaim their freedom and life by reducing the amount of time on various platforms.
 
Sandy is the podcast host of The Balanced MomCast, a blogger at thescooponbalance.com, and author. Today she discusses how after many years of building a successful business on social media platforms, she one day realized how controlled she was by her phone, and her mental and emotional health were negatively impacted. 
Sandy helps other overwhelmed moms and entrepreneurs take short and longer breaks from social media to reclaim their time and life. 
Social media is intentionally designed to be like a drug, to get you hooked by giving your brain a dopamine fix. While we might think we are connected to more people around the world, research is showing that people feel more disconnected, isolated, anxious and depressed. 
 
Beginning November 1st, she is offering a 7-Day Challenge to help moms break the addictive cycle of social media, reassess their relationship with it, and reclaim the time they lose to these platforms.

57\\ Why Is This Storm Happening? God, Do You Even Care?!

Have you ever asked this question?
Are you angry at God for not doing something about your situation? 
 
When we are going through difficult situations, we want answers... to understand, to give meaning and purpose, and to somehow find comfort in them. 
Where do you go when you are in the midst of a challenging circumstance?
What or Who do you turn to?
 
I believe the real question behind the "why" of a storm is: “Lord, do you love me?” “If you love me, why don’t you do something about it?” 
 
We are called to live by faith and trust God, by believing His Word and knowing His nature and character, so we can become who He created us to be.
Romans 8:28-31  all things work together for our good…and the purpose is to be conformed to the image of Christ. To be imitators of Jesus.
Our faith will be tested so we know what has been deposited in us, to grow and mature. Circumstances will always appear bigger than you can handle. God is the answer and with Him, miracles happen.
In this episode, we will look at Jesus and the disciples in the boat in the storm, and what we can learn from this situation.
 Mark 4: 35-41
We must learn to rightly divide the Word of Truth. How to connect the dots of Scripture.
God’s Word is true. Jesus is the Word and He is Faithful and True! He is in your boat! 
Isaiah 55:11-12
Psalm 46:1-3, 10 
Matthew 6:33
The enemy is opposing you and he is the accuser of God’s character, God’s love for you and who you are in Christ.  (John 10:10)
Your faith will be tested and your circumstances will appear bigger than you can handle. The book of James talks about our faith being tested but also says that God cannot be tested with evil. We live in a fallen world and people have free will that will oppose us. People, our flesh and the enemy will cause hardships, but not God! He and His Word are the answer!
Practical example: I share what I learned in the biggest financial storm I went through while I was in the middle of God’s will for us.
John 6:68-69

55\\ Ever Blamed God For A Storm In Your Life? Biblical Truths To Understand God’s Nature To Prepare For Life’s Storms! + A GIVEAWAY

Have you ever blamed God for a crisis in your life? Most people have. 
We all face various storms and trials in life, whether it’s a relationship, job or financial situation, or health crisis. However, God doesn’t send a storm; He’s the answer to the storm! 
We just experienced a huge, devastation hurricane called Ian here in Florida. We had to suddenly evacuate our home as we were in the direct path of a category 3 hurricane. Only through Jesus could we have calmness, wisdom and peace to leave our home, not knowing what we would return to. 
In this episode, I unpack very important foundational truths about God’s nature so we can fully trust Him to be prepared for the various storms we will face: 
God is not the source of the storm. 
God’s character and nature have been misrepresented since Genesis 3 in the Garden of Eden.
It began with the serpent and is even being taught today in various religions and even the Christian pulpit. 
God does not send a storm to teach you something! 
He’s not trying to manipulate you into loving Him! That is not love!
He’s the answer to the storm! 
We live in a fallen world and people have free will and make choices that affect us. Sin altered God’s original creation. Life in general and people will tests us, our flesh and unrenewed mind will test us, but God has only provided for us through Jesus’ obedience in His death, burial and resurrection on our behalf. 
God gives us a way through to experience victory!
God will not put sickness on you to teach you something, God will not send a storm to humble you to depend upon him, and God will not only bless you if you are completely and immediately obedient to Him…!
Jesus is the exact expression of the Father. We look to Jesus to see the true nature of God. It’s the goodness and loving kindness that leads one to repentance —to turn towards God—not punishment, sickness, calamity. We live in a New Covenant of grace.
Jesus said we would have tribulations, but to take heart as He is with us and has given us His Word, Spirit and Authority to overcome them and have victory. The answers are found in Him!

53\\ Our 3 Keys To Having A Lasting Marriage with Fred Snyder on Spiritual Leadership & Humility

We know what it’s like to struggle in marriage and want to quit. 
After many very challenging years, we did. Seventeen years ago we separated and filed for divorce. 
Then God did a miracle in our hearts, and we chose to work through our pain, forgive and evaluate our beliefs.
He showed us how to heal, reconcile, and rebuild with the right biblical foundation and tools. God redeemed our dead marriage. 
 
Today, we are celebrating 30 years of marriage!
In this episode, my husband, Fred shares his perspective on what it takes to have a successful, fulfilling and God-led marriage. 
While they are many keys to unlock a fruitful marriage, we only focus on three today.

52\\ Five Things You Must Know About God’s Plan For You!

Is Jeremiah 29:11 one of your favorite Bible verses?  “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
 
I talk to people every day who want to know the plan God has for them. They say, if He would tell me what to do, then I would do it.
Can you relate?
For many years, I was a human doer. I was trying to do things to become something, and to get God to bless me.
Then one day, my eyes, ears and heart were opened to what was God’s original plan. What did He intend from the very beginning, and how did Jesus fit into that?
 
In episode 52, I am going to share five main things that God originally intended when He created mankind, and how Jesus restored that plan. I will connect Genesis 1:26-31 with John 3:16, John 17:3 and John 10:10. 
 
This is a segment from a live workshop I recently did called, “How To Live In God’s Best!” In the hour workshop, I share my biblical blueprint and have some activations where you can hear directly from the Lord yourself. 
 
In this 58 minute workshop, I go into more detail in discussing: 
What is God’ Best for us?
How can we access it?
What does salvation actually mean?
God gave humans 5 key things to help them thrive, and how that is still His intention for today.
 
If you want to hear the complete 58 minute workshop including more in-depth Bible teaching with activations to help you hear from the Lord personally, go to https://loriksnyder.com/free-workshop/ I would love to give you this as my free gift.

51\\ 3 Crucial Aspects of Knowing God Intimately & Relating To The Trinity

For too many years, I did all of the Christian disciplines: read the Bible, prayed, went to church and serve faithfully…but had no clue how to relate to God on an intimate level. I certainly didn’t know about the role of the Holy Spirit in my life. I knew “about” God, but not as a loving Father!
 
One day, in 2006, I heard "a benediction” at the end of a bible radio show, and my ears and eyes were opened. It was 2 Corinthians 13:14 in the Message translation:  “The amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.” 
 
I realized I didn’t know God in this way, yet I desired for a more meaningful relationship with Him. This began a journey of discovery for me, to understand how to relate to all three persons of the Godhead/Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
 
In today’s episode, I share a recent live teaching I did with my good friend, Chris Cree, of New CREEations Ministries, and we discuss some great insights and the importance of how God wants to relate to us.
Key take-aways:
•Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ. We dive into the Greek meaning of “grace” and how understanding grace changes everything.
•We must receive the love of Father God. Faith works through love and we must take time to get rooted and grounded in His love for us in order to love others well. (Ephesians 3:14-20)
•What fellowship or communion with the Holy Spirit looks like.

As my gift to you, I am offering a FREE workshop that will help you in your journey of knowing God more intimately and experiencing the life He desires you to live—His Best! I want to help you remove lies, receive Truth, and release who your were created to be—His representative here on earth! It’s time to live in His fullness and thrive!

50\\ How To Receive From God! Mindsets, Prayer and Activations.

Do you want to learn how to receive God’s Best for you?
Do you want to hear God more confidently and have a more productive prayer life?
 
Today, I am sharing one of my group mentoring sessions from 2021, to help you grow in receiving from the Lord, to walk in His fullness of life. I have prayer and activations towards the end, so make sure you listen to the entire teaching to receive what He wants to share with you.
 
Jesus said unless we are like children, we won’t see the kingdom of God—His blessings and way of truly living. Children receive gifts with joy and that is how God wants us to receive from Him – freely and with joy.  …Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. (John 16:24)
If you struggle with unworthiness in receiving gifts, or think you haven’t done enough to deserve one, then listen up and participate in these activations and you will be blessed!
 
We are His children and He desires that we live in His fullness and are expressions of Him on the earth. We are all on a journey of growing and knowing God more intimately. I want to help you go to a higher level in your faith journey!
 
Here’s a FREE gift: I am offering a FREE live workshop on September 7th at 8PM EST (7CST/6/MST/5PST) and I invite you to join me.  I want to help you receive and activate God’s Best, so you can thrive personally, relationally and professionally. Click HERE

49\\ Tips To Reset and Refocus For Growth with Frannie Foltz

Need a reset or refocus for the remainder of this year?
 
With the new school year often brings more structure and routine so this is a perfect opportunity to reevaluate and refocus our goals both in every area of our life. Summer is coming to an end and the autumn season is approaching.
 
In episode 49, my close friend and guest, Frannie Foltz with Shine With Frannie, discuss the importance of taking time to reevaluate and refocus our lives, possibly restructure certain areas so we can grow and move forward in all aspects of our lives. 
 
•Rest is required to reset so you can reevaluate, refocus and pursue your goals and dreams.
Resting really is relying upon and partnering with the Lord to lead and guide you into the direction that is for your life, where you can thrive instead of strive. (Matthew 11:28-30)
 
•Reset. Perhaps this hasn’t been your best year so far. You can push reset and refocus on the remainder of this year to prepare you for growth and increase in the years to come. You don’t have to wait until the new year! We have 131 days left in 2022, so let’s make the most of them TODAY! Procrastination steals from you. “Tomorrow is a thief of today.” 
Key Scriptures mentioned (Romans 12:1-2, 1 Thessalonians 5:23-25 MSG)
 
•Redemption. Are there areas that you want the Lord to redeem? He is the God unlimited do-overs, so seek Him first and He will bring healing and restoration. (Isaiah 43:1, Joel 2:25-32)

48\\ Four Fears That Hold You Back & The Answer To Overcome Them

Is fear holding you back from moving forward to pursue your dreams?
I talk to women every day how express some type of fear in various ways. I want to help you recognize them so you can stop limiting yourself and move forward with courage and boldness.
Today, I am going to discuss four main fears that prevent you from embracing change and then give you the antidote so you can succeed. 
 
My heart’s desire is to see people thriving and living in the fullness of God. I have been mentoring women for decades and seeing their lives transformed by discovering who and whose they are. Life is too short to not live it to the fullest. I am fired up now more than ever to empower Christian women to become who God has created them to be and live in His Best.
 
I am offering a FREE live workshop on September 7th at 8PM EST (7CST/6/MST/5PST) and I invite you to join me.  It’s my gift to you to help you unlock the Real you and thrive personally, relationally and professionally. Click HERE https://loriksnyder.com/resources/free-workshop/
 
Fear is a bully, and for so many years it bossed me around. Once I recognized the root causes, I was able to move forward despite being fearful. Here are some thoughts about fear:
Any time you are growing or pursuing your goals and dreams, fear will show up.
With any type of success, there are risks involved, and fear will try to shut you down. 
There is a difference between danger and fear. Danger is real…fear is a story we tell ourselves. 
Four Fears That Keep You From Achieving Your Dreams:
Fear of the unknown.
Fear of man
Fear of failure.
Fear of success.
Answer: Believe God’s Perfect love for you. God is love. (1 John 4:8)
“Love never brings fear, for fear is always related to punishment. But love’s perfection drives the fear of punishment far from our hearts. Whoever walks constantly afraid of punishment  has not reached love’s perfection.” 1 John 4:18 TPT
 
Focus on how much God is FOR you, leading you, helping you, with you. He will give you the courage to boldly move forward.
He is for you, so who can be against you—except yourself. Stop self-sabotaging! It’s time to start living boldly, with confidence that God is working in, through and for you! 
Here are some other episodes to help you with overcoming fear:
