In today’s episode, we're doing something crazy. We're looking at fear from a different perspective and, dare I say, in a positive light.

No, I'm not kidding.

Many are familiar with fear on a number of levels—whether physical, psychological, or even spiritual. We understand the basic concepts around the fight or flight response. However, I'd love to unpack the cost of fear—both the good and the bad. Because the Lord dropped something so profound into my spirit this week, I can't wait to share it with you.

If you’ve ever wrestled with fear in your writing life—fear of failure, fear of man, fear of visibility, or fear of not being “enough”—then this episode is for you. We’ll explore the emotional, spiritual, and practical cost of fear, and then shift our focus to the kind of fear that brings freedom, wisdom, and transformation.

My heart is to help you build a writing life rooted in God’s rhythms of grace—not intimidation, striving, or torment. This conversation goes deep, but it also extends hope, clarity, and an invitation to partner with the right kind of fear.
