Summary
This week, I'm reflecting with the team on my experience witnessing Jackie and Jordan practice obedience during the Blameless concert weekend that took place in February. We're talking about what it means to fix our gaze on Jesus when fear, doubt, and uncertainty can cause a hesitation to obey.
In Matthew 14, we see Peter walk on water only while his eyes are fixed on Jesus, but the moment he focuses on the wind and the waves, he begins to sink. And honestly, it's the same way for so many of us when it comes to trusting God. But Jesus is so kind. When Peter began to sink, he called out to Jesus, and Jesus reached for him. And He does the same for us.
Join the conversation as we explore what it looks like to trust God in the midst of fear. We discuss the tension of wanting to believe the Lord is faithful while battling uncertainty, and how faith is often not the absence of fear, but the practice of fixing our gaze on God in everything we do, until we see our complete assignment through to the end.
This episode is for anyone who feels like they’ve been sinking under the weight of anxiety, doubt, or fear and it's keeping you from saying Yes to the Lord.
I pray this reminds you that He is not distant in our struggle. He is near, steady, and faithful.

| 1:10.7 | Jackie doing the concert, thinking about Jordan |
| 1:12.8 | choreographing the concert. And I'm like, man, like, God often cause us to do really scary things. |
| 1:18.7 | And he doesn't remove the feeling of the fear. And I know, I know, I hear all of you right now screaming. |
| 1:25.4 | God is not giving us spirit of fear, but a love power to sound like. God is not giving a spirit of fear, but a love power is out of mind. |
| 1:27.8 | God is not giving a spirit of fear, but a love power and sound mind. I know. But it's the spirit that we have on the inside of us that is not a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind. But that doesn't mean that we don't have the human emotion of fear. It's not about your fear. It's more about your faith. Fix your eyes on me. Look at me. I'm your |
| 1:46.6 | goal. Whatever it is that the Lord is asking you to do. Just know that the Lord is after his glory |
| 1:51.9 | and he's after your obedience. And now whatever he's called you too, he'll be faithful to be with |
| 1:56.9 | you all the way through it. |
