Send us Fan MailFear can sound like faith until you realize it’s running your nervous system, your prayers, and your view of God. We’re joined by pastor and licensed therapist Micah Morgan to unpack a question so many believers quietly carry: why do so many of us know God’s holiness, hell, and judgment better than we know God’s love?We talk about the difference between reverence and torment, and how trauma, abandonment, and church hurt can train us to expect rejection from God the same way we’ve experienced it from people. Micah shares a grounded practice she uses in both ministry and mental health work: gospel meditation. Instead of only memorizing verses, we learn how to “waste time in the gospels” and sit with Jesus in scenes like the woman at the well, letting His posture, patience, and honesty reshape our internal story.If you’ve ever felt like you have to stay afraid to stay “good,” this conversation offers a safer, truer path.

In a national study published in 2021 called, “Attachment to God and Psychological Distress: Evidence of a Curvilinear Relationship”Why do you think so many believers grow up more aware of hell, judgment, or fear than they are of God’s love and closeness?Fear feels like control. When we know what we're afraid of and we put energy into avoiding it or overcoming it, it often feels like we're doing something productive.Can fear ever play a healthy role in someone coming to God, or does lasting transformation require something deeper?Reverence of God's holiness and an understanding that God is the final Judge is necessary for worship. However, I do not believe that living with a constant fear of losing God's love is healthy or helpful.. (Matt 6:9 NRSVUE)How do we balance reverence and holiness with the truth that God is loving, compassionate, and relational?God's holiness describes the reality that He is the standard and source of all Goodness. Therefore, His approval is what matters most. He sets the standard for what's right and wrong in our lives. 4 “I tell you, (Luke 12:4-7 NRSVUE)Remember that God's Holiness is not passive. It moves Him to heal the world of individual and systemic sin and suffering. (Colossians 1:19-20 NRSVUE) (Revelation 21:1-5 NRSVUE)God doesn't sit idly by and watch sin and suffering and trauma ruin our lives. If it's true that Jesus is the exact representation of God (John 5:19; Hebrews 1:3), Jesus shows us that God grieves with us-- weeps with us-- when brokenness touches our lives directly. (John 11:17-21, 33-35 NRSVUE)What are some signs that a person’s relationship with God has become rooted more in fear than in love?When someone's first thought then they do something wrong is, "God doesn't love me anymore," rather than, "God still loves me and has provided an excape from the power of sin every step of the way:17 So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has p. (2 Corinthians 5:17-20 NRSVUE) (John 14:18, 26 NRSVUE) (1 John 1:9 NRSVUE) (1 Corinthians 10:13 NRSVUEFor people healing from trauma, rejection, or harsh religious experiences, how can they begin rebuilding a healthy understanding of God?Spend time with Jesus in the Gospels and work on feeling what it feels like to interact with Jesus there.“To know Jesus, therefore, is to know God (John 14: 9). Jesus is the “image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1: 15 nrsv). Thus he is the filter through which we need to pass all our ideas about God as we seek to move from knowing about God to meeting God personally in Jesus.” — The Gift of Being Yourself: The Sacred Call to Self-Discovery (The Spiritual Journey) by David G. Benner (p. 35)“Relationships develop ...
