Frequency: 1 episode/7d. Total Eps: 279

Life is too short and God has too much for us to do for any of us to live enslaved. Jesus promised His followers would experience filled to overflowing life, a life characterized by joy, peace, and spiritual and emotional vitality. And yet, we daily make decisions based on fear, not faith. In Faith Over Fear, author and speaker Jennifer Slattery helps us see different areas of life where fear has a foothold, and how our identity as children of God can help us move from fear to faithful, bold living.

This podcast covers topics like:

⭐️ How to Overcome Fear
⭐️ Biblical Strategies for Overcoming Fear and Anxiety
⭐️ Powerful Steps to Fight Anxiety
⭐️ Finding God Faithful in Hard Seasons
⭐️ Courage to Wait on God

Jesus has more planned for us than we could imagine and He’s fully committed to perfecting that which concerns us. Fear holds us back, but His perfect love has the power to cast out all fear!

Finding Refuge in Christ in Times of Fear

Tuesday, July 15, 2025 • Duration 32:49

When we're anxious and afraid, we often ask God to remove our figurative storms. But He offers us something even better–Himself. He is our strong tower, our impenetrable fortress able to carry us through our worst crisis. As Psalm 46:1 states, He is our ever-present help in times of trouble, and our God is for us, always. In this episode, host Jennifer Slattery and guest Becky Harling discuss the truths stated and implied in Proverbs 18:10, which states, The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe (NIV).

Bible passages discussed: John 6, Psalm 91, Proverbs 18:10, Psalm 46:1

What's the Point: Trusting God's Purpose When Life Feels Routine

Tuesday, July 8, 2025 • Duration 37:24

We all have a God-given need to feel valued, significant, and as if our life matters. While Scripture tells us that God has important, kingdom-focused plans for each of us, it can be hard to recognize this when life feels routine and monotonous. How can we live fulfilled in the "daily grind" of going to work, raising families, and managing all our other necessary and seemingly mundane tasks? In this episode, hosts Jennifer Slattery and Carol McCracken discuss the importance of listening for God's direction, remaining faithful to what He's calling us to do, and finding our value in Him, not our performance. Discussing King David, King Saul, and the Old Testament prophet Elisha, they remind listeners that God won't waste their gifts or experiences. He uses everything to mold us into men and women ready and prepared to do His will, and there's beauty in that.
