Summary
Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to answer the questions you’re already asking. In this week’s episode, we are diving into very human emotions: Do you feel fear about your calling? Jess and GATG team member, Emily, speak truth over these common feelings, provide different responses to fear and ways we can fight back.
The presence of fear, worry and anxiety does not negate your courage. It’s the beginning of stepping into all God has called you to. It means you’re human, you love people and God, and want to handle all this well. We see you and are walking with you.
Because instead of allowing fear to be a constant background noise in our lives, we need to pull the car over, turn the engine off, turn to the backseat and speak truth to it, so we can move past the fear in Jesus’ name.
He is mighty in you.
