The Fight Between Fear and Faith Isn’t A...

Jessica Hottle | Christian Life Coach, Spiritual Growth Mentor, Christian Mental Health Coach, Christian Counseling
About this episode
Have you ever noticed how you can be praying, declaring truth, and reminding yourself of God’s promises, yet still feel fear sitting heavy in your chest? It’s easy to assume that means your faith is weak. But what if that fear isn’t failure, it’s simply your body’s way of saying, “I don’t feel safe right now”? In this episode, I'm unpacking how faith and fear can coexist, and why your nervous system often needs calm before your spirit can fully lean into trust.

Rooting for you,
Jessica
