Fear has a sneaky way of showing up everywhere — in big decisions, small decisions, motherhood, work, uncertainty, and all the “what ifs” we carry around without even realizing it.

In this episode of My Southern Godmother, Jena and Debbie talk honestly about what it looks like to trust God when fear feels loud. Jena shares about declaring this her “no fear year,” only to quickly realize how often fear still bubbles up in everyday life. Debbie offers wisdom from her own journey with fear and explains why the goal isn’t to never feel afraid — it’s to know what to do when fear shows up.

Together, they talk about:

  • Why fear doesn’t mean you’re failing at faith
  • How fear can quietly make your decisions for you
  • The importance of bringing fear into the light instead of keeping it hidden
  • The comfort of knowing God goes before you and stays with you
  • Why Hinds’ Feet on High Places is such a powerful picture of trusting God through the unknown

If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disappointed in yourself for still struggling with fear, this episode is a gentle reminder that God is not asking you to fake bravery — He’s asking you to trust Him on the path.

Question to reflect on:
Where are you feeling afraid right now — and are you willing to let God go before you there?
