    Summary

    In this episode of Live Fearlessly Free, Heather Bunch dives deep into how courage is not the absence of fear but faith in motion. Through personal stories (hello, horses and cookbooks!) and neuroscience insights from Andrew Huberman, Heather equips you with three powerful, action-packed ways to flip on your courageous circuit, get that dopamine boost, and move forward—even when your knees are knocking. If you’re tired of fear crashing your party and you’re ready to step into bold, faith-fueled action, this one’s for you.


    Takeaways

    • Fear often stops us at the threshold of our dreams.
    • Delighting in intimacy with God is foundational for courage.
    • Understanding our true identity helps us combat fear.
    • Directing our imagination can empower us to take action.
    • Courage is not the absence of fear, but action despite it.
    • Fear starts in the brain and manifests physically in the body.
    • There are four responses to fear: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn.
    • Taking action activates the 'courageous circuit' in our brain.
    • Courage is like a muscle that gets stronger with practice.
    • Partnering with God is essential in our journey of courage.

    "Courage takes movement."

    "Action disrupts fear."

    "Courage is faith in motion.”

    "Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s doing the thing afraid."

    "Action flips on the courageous circuit and rewires your brain for brave."

    "You don’t need to wait for fear to leave the room. It walks in anyway."


    Courageous Action
    Time to take one bold, messy, totally imperfect step:

    • Step 1: Name one thing fear’s been holding you back from.
    • 🛠️ Step 2: Break it down to the tiniest doable action (text, call, one sentence—whatever gets the momentum going).
    • 🤝 Step 3: Pray. Breathe. Move. Do it scared. Do it today.

  • 352 - The Courageous Life Part 11 - Your Most Powerful Tool…And How to Use It
    2025/04/22

    Summary

    In this episode, I’m kicking off Secret #3 of The Courageous Life series: Direct Your Imagination. If you’ve ever spiraled into fear and worry before doing something new, this one’s for you. I share the story of how my thoughts ran so wild with “what ifs” before a networking event that I literally fainted. Yup—down for the count. But here’s what I discovered: your imagination isn’t the enemy. It’s actually one of your greatest God-given tools for courageous living—if you learn how to direct it. You’ll learn why fear feels so real, how to use biblical truth and brain science to reframe your thinking, and three practical ways to get your imagination working for you instead of against you.


    Takeaways

    • Your imagination holds the secret to breakthrough.
    • Fear is the biggest obstacle to your courageous life.
    • Imagination can powerfully affect our emotions and actions.
    • We need to direct our imagination towards God's promises.
    • Awareness of imagination patterns is crucial for change.
    • Visualizing desired outcomes enhances motivation and reduces stress.
    • Using imagination as prayer aligns us with God's power.
    • Fear often stems from anxiety and uncertainty.
    • Transforming fear into faith is essential for growth.
    • We are not victims of our thoughts; we can choose them.


    Sound Bites

    “Fear is just anxiety and uncertainty that had a baby—and it was called fear.” 😅

    “We are not victims of our thoughts. We get to choose our thoughts.”

    “Your imagination isn’t broken—it’s just been working against you. But when you partner it with God’s truth, it becomes your most powerful tool.”
