Podcast appearances and mentions of faith over fear

Do you feel emotionally overwhelmed—like you’re carrying more than you can handle and one more hardship or problem might break you? Have stress, anxiety, or burnout caused you to react in ways that don’t feel like you? In this episode of Faith Over Fear, Jennifer Slattery and Carol McCracken talk honestly about emotional overwhelm, emotional capacity, and why prolonged stress and hardship can push even faithful, capable people past their limits. Through personal stories of caregiving, trauma triggers, disrupted sleep, ministry pressure, and relational strain, they explain why “pushing through” often leads to exhaustion, shame, and broken connections. Turning to Scripture, they explore the life of David—a man after God’s own heart—who also experienced seasons of intense fear, grief, and emotional overload. His story shows us that overwhelm is not a spiritual failure and that God meets us with grace, not condemnation, when we’re in survival mode. This conversation offers biblical encouragement and practical tools to help you recognize when your emotional capacity is maxed out, calm anxiety throughout the day, reduce unnecessary stress, and reconnect with Christ’s presence in the middle of overwhelming seasons. If you’ve been feeling worn down, reactive, or ashamed of how you’ve been coping, this episode will remind you: you’re not weak, you’re human—and you’re not alone.

Reflective/Discussion Questions: Where do you currently feel emotionally overloaded?What circumstances, responsibilities, or unresolved stressors might be adding weight to your “emotional bridge”? How do you typically respond when your emotional capacity is exceeded?Do you tend to withdraw, lash out, numb, overwork, or push through—and what has that response cost you? What stood out to you about David’s responses to overwhelm?How does his honesty with God challenge or free you in the way you pray, lament, or express emotion? Are there stressors in your life that could be reduced, paused, or removed—at least temporarily?What might it look like to honor your limits instead of judging them? What helps calm your body and mind throughout the day?Which practices—movement, rest, prayer, breathing, joy, community—might God be inviting you to return to or begin? Is there an area where shame has followed your past reactions to stress?How does this episode reshape your understanding of God’s grace toward you in survival seasons?

Most Christians aren’t being persecuted with violence, they’re being persecuted with people. Unfriended. Misunderstood. Labeled. Screenshot. Canceled. In this episode, Jon Ellis breaks down what Jesus actually said about rejection and why following Him will cost you socially, but will never cost you your identity. You’ll learn why rejection is often revelation, how to stand strong when people walk away, and how the Holy Spirit empowers you to stay faithful in a culture obsessed with approval. This teaching is bold, pastoral, and prophetic, exactly what Gen Z and Millennials need to navigate the pressure of modern-day cancel culture. If you feel alone, overlooked, or unfollowed because of your faith… this episode will give you courage, clarity, and the conviction to stand with Jesus, even when it seems like you stand alone. Ever felt unfollowed, misunderstood, or quietly excluded because you chose to stand on Scripture? You’re not crazy, and you’re not alone. Jesus warned His followers that cultural rejection would come, and He taught us how to stand firm when the pressure hits. In this bold and pastoral episode, Jon Ellis equips you with clarity, courage, and practical steps to stay faithful when approval fades. If you’re ready to rise above cancel culture and live Uncommon, this episode will strengthen your resolve.

If the holidays leave you overwhelmed, overstretched, or anxious, you’re not alone. In this episode of Faith Over Fear, Jennifer Slattery and guest Kelly Hall unpack the story of Mary and Martha to reveal practical, grace-filled ways to reduce holiday stress, avoid codependent patterns, set healthy boundaries, and re-center on what matters most. Whether you’re navigating grief, family tension, perfectionism, or people-pleasing, this conversation offers gentle guidance to help you enter Christmas with more calm, clarity, and joy. You’ll learn how to: Recognize your emotional capacity Resist the pressure to meet everyone’s expectations Simplify your celebrations Experience deeper peace by staying aligned with Jesus rather than holiday chaos Scripture discussed: Luke 10, Mark 1:35-39 Resources Recommended: Courageous Faith by Kelly Hall Free Bible Reading Plan: "Embracing Your True Self: Living in Your Christ-Centered Identity" Find Kelly Hall: On her website Instagram Facebook Unshakable Hope Podcast Find Jennifer Slattery: On her website Instagram Facebook Amazon Subscribe to her free newsletter Discussion/Reflective Question: What resonated with you most in this episode Where do I feel the most pressure during the holiday season—and whose expectations are driving that pressure? What signs tell me I’m reaching or exceeding my emotional capacity? How can I respond with grace rather than reacting from overwhelm? In what situations do I tend to “Martha”—trying to control people or outcomes rather than pausing to sit at Jesus’ feet? Where might I be slipping into codependent behavior (fixing, appeasing, rescuing) instead of allowing others to own their emotions? What boundaries do I need to set this holiday season to protect peace, joy, and emotional/spiritual health? What one simple shift could help me keep “the most important thing” at the center of my celebrations?

Isaiah 7-12 | Faith Over Fear - Even though King Ahaz was trusting in his own plans for the welfare of Judah, God gave the people a promise of coming hope; hope not just for Judah, but hope for all the nations. Message by Anthony Webb, Pastor Ariah Park Baptist Church

Join us as we look at the different people who make up the Christmas story, how God used them, and how we can apply their stories to our lives.

Today is testimony time! I'm sharing the exact steps I took before going to an appointment I usually dread. These steps, rooted in God and faith, helped me have an amazing experience this time.

In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the series The King Has Come with a raw and life-giving exploration of the second great gift Jesus brings: peace.Turning to the familiar yet profound scene in Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Karl invites us into the midnight terror of ordinary shepherds—suddenly confronted by the blinding glory of God—and shows how the very first words from heaven that night were not “Merry Christmas,” but “Fear not.” That first Christmas did not begin with sentimental calm; it began with paralyzing, mega-fear. And right there, in the middle of stacked-on-stacked fear, the angel announced good news of great joy: a Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord, the Prince of Peace.With pastoral tenderness and unflinching honesty, Pastor Karl unmasks fear as the mortal enemy of peace—how it magnifies threats, shrinks our view of God, and paints our future in colors darker than God ever intended. Yet the gospel is stronger: peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of a Person. Peace is not something Jesus gives; peace is who Jesus is—and He gives Himself.Through the shepherds' journey from terror to testimony, we're given clear, scriptural paths out of fear and into the unshakable peace of Christ: speaking God's truth over fear's lies, refusing to agree with the spirit of fear, drawing near to Jesus through spiritual disciplines, and taking bold steps of obedience that move us against comfort and toward surrender.This is a word for everyone whose heart has been ruled by anxiety, worst-case scenarios, or the quiet fears that steal joy—especially in this season. A tender yet urgent call to stop trusting the unknown future to our own control and start trusting it to the known God who entered our fear as a baby in a manger.Because the King has come, fear does not get the final word. Peace does. And when the Prince of Peace takes over a life, what spills out is no longer fear—but praise, testimony, and unshakable confidence in the goodness of God.Essential listening for anyone who longs to trade fear for the peace that passes all understanding this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Today’s Bible Verse“A voice of one calling: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.’” — Isaiah 40:3 Isaiah 40:3 is a prophetic announcement about preparing for God’s arrival—a spiritual construction project long before orange cones made it cool. Spoken originally to bring hope and readiness, it uses the powerful metaphor of clearing a path through a wilderness, symbolizing removing obstacles in our hearts so God’s purposes move forward without speed bumps.

Today’s Bible Verse:“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” — 1 Corinthians 13:6 (NIV) This verse points us to a love that isn’t shaped by emotion or preference but by God’s character. True love refuses to celebrate what harms, divides, or deceives. Instead, it finds joy in what is right, pure, and aligned with God’s truth. In a world that often blurs the lines, this kind of love stands steady—choosing integrity over convenience and commitment over compromise. It’s the love we receive from God and the love He calls us to reflect.

2022-12-05 - Faith Over Fear： Mark 9_14-32 [GYQ1Er8iGDo] by Salvador Flores III

Brad shares his journey from childhood faith to a life-changing accident that redefined everything—and reveals how God's fingerprints were all over his recovery.From planting churches as a kid in the Sutherland Shire to designing rockets as an aerospace engineer, Brad's story is full of "but God" moments. But nothing prepared him for the morning a cycling accident left him unconscious for 16 days with severed arteries and a broken neck in three places.The odds of survival were almost zero. The first responders who showed up were an off-duty police officer, a running mate with nappies, and an ER nurse—all in the right place at the right time. The ambulance that arrived in 4 minutes and 32 seconds during peak hour happened to carry the only trial dressing in Australia for major arterial bleeds.Brad opens up about growing up choosing service over comfort, making hard faith choices as a teenager, and what it's like learning to live with a severe traumatic brain injury. He graduated as an aerospace engineer, but some of those abilities are gone now. He grieves that loss, but he's not giving up. He's taking it all back with God's help, running marathons, and telling his story to anyone who will listen.This is a story about asking "Why am I here?" and finding boldness to share faith in unexpected places. Because God's gift isn't the injury—it's the recovery, and the platform it's given him to share his faith.

Today’s Bible Verse:"Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life." — Isaiah 43:4 Isaiah 43:4 reveals the depth of God’s love for us: we are precious, honored, and deeply valued. This verse reminds us that God sees each of us as uniquely significant, so much so that He treasures us above all else. When doubts about worth or significance creep in, this promise reassures us that our lives matter infinitely to the Creator of the universe. His love is personal, protective, and unwavering. “Want to listen without ads?

Faith Over Fear Episode Summary Guest: Mary DeMuth Topic: The Freedom of Surrender: 40 Devotions to Let Go and Live Free What if the peace you’re craving isn’t found in control, but in letting go? In this episode, Carol McCracken talks with author and speaker Mary DeMuth about her new devotional The Freedom of Surrender. Together, they explore what it means to release the hidden parts of our lives—our past, our relationships, our daily struggles, and our deepest worries—to a God who can handle them better than we can. Mary shares how surrender became a life-changing spiritual practice, one that moves us from striving and fear into trust and rest. She offers honest insights about how to identify areas of resistance, what healthy surrender looks like, and why God often meets us most powerfully when we finally stop trying to manage everything ourselves. Whether you’re carrying regret, trying to fix relationships, or simply exhausted from worry, this conversation reminds you that freedom begins where self-reliance ends.

Send us a textFor many people, the words "Jesus is coming again" do not bring comfort. They bring anxiety. Fear-filled sermons, end-times charts, and bad theology have left some believers uneasy, confused, or even wounded. But that's not how the Bible ends.In Revelation 22:20, Jesus' final promise is not meant to terrify us; it is meant to give hope. The early Church did not dread Christ's return; they longed for it. So why do so many of us struggle to feel the same way?We take a gentle, honest look at the last words of Scripture and rediscover the heart of Jesus behind them. This message sets aside speculation and fear to focus on relationship, trust, and hope. If you have ever felt uneasy about the Second Coming, or if end-times teaching has caused more harm than healing, this message is for you.Because when we truly know the One who is coming, fear gives way to hope, and our hearts can finally say, "Come, Lord Jesus."Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Choosing faith over fear in daily decisions is the episode's focus: the hardest choices are often the small, everyday steps—do I try, do I trust God with what I can't handle? Scripture reminds us in 2 Timothy 1:7 that God gives a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind, not fear. This episode encourages taking one faithful step at a time, asking for clarity, peace, and courage. Lord, help us choose faith today and let it begin.

Today’s Bible Verse:“For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” — Psalm 100:5 Psalm 100:5 anchors us in a truth we often need most on the hard days: God’s goodness isn’t seasonal, and His love doesn’t run out. His faithfulness stretches across generations—steady, unchanging, and deeply personal. When life feels unpredictable, this verse reminds us we’re held by a God who has never failed His people and won’t start now. His goodness isn’t just something He does; it’s who He is. “Want to listen without ads?

(Hebrews 11:23-30) Biblical courage grows out of faith.

Today we're trashing feminism some more, because it obviously deserves it. Feminism is not only unbiblical, it's extremely destructive for all of society. We'll talk about why Christian podcasters like Allie Beth Stuckey shouldn't defend their feminism while claiming to follow Christ, and why Christianity itself is a patriarchy, by God's design. It's time for biblical men to stop waiting for permission from feminists and take back the authority God gave them. We'll also discuss more of the Trump administration's mistakes, including this ridiculous new 50-year mortgage idea that proves how far from wisdom our leaders have fallen.

When faith and mental health collide, many believers feel caught between shame and silence. In this episode of Faith Over Fear, Carol McCracken talks with Chris Morris, author of Resilient and Redeemed: Lessons about Suicidality and Depression from the Psych Ward. Chris shares his raw and redemptive story of battling depression, walking through a crisis of faith, and discovering that God’s grace meets us even in the darkest places. Together, they explore how to dismantle harmful theology, find freedom through honesty, and experience hope that outlasts despair. Resource Discussed: Resilient and Redeemed: Lessons about Suicidality and Depression from the Psych Ward Discussion/Reflective Questions: Chris talked about trying to “power through by sheer will” before realizing something had to change. When have you reached the end of your own strength and discovered the freedom of surrender? Many people tie their identity to productivity or performance. How has God been reshaping your understanding of worth apart from what you do? Chris described a “crisis of faith,” not a loss of faith. What’s the difference for you—and how have moments of doubt actually deepened your faith journey? What are some “theological traps” you’ve encountered—beliefs that sounded spiritual but actually created fear, guilt, or shame rather than freedom? Chris’s friends later asked, “Why didn’t you tell me?” Who in your life could you safely open up to about your struggles, and what would it take to start that conversation? Paul’s story of the “thorn in the flesh” reminded Chris that God’s grace is enough, even when healing looks different than we hoped. How does that truth speak to your current season of pain or waiting? What is one practical step God might be inviting you to take having listened to this podcast episode?

 Pastor Mark challenges us to choose calling over comfort. Based on Matthew 14, this sermon reminds us that true faith begins where comfort ends—and that the safest place to be is wherever Jesus is. 

Today’s Bible Verse:"Look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many." — Isaiah 51:2 God reminds His people to look back at Abraham and Sarah — ordinary individuals through whom He accomplished extraordinary promises. Their story is a testament to God’s ability to multiply what seems small and bring fruit from what appears barren. When you feel insignificant or overlooked, remember: the same God who called and blessed Abraham is at work in your life, turning faith into fruitfulness and promises into reality. “Want to listen without ads?

Today’s Bible Verse:"Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!" — Isaiah 30:18 Isaiah 30:18 reminds us that God is not only just but deeply compassionate.

Waiting on Him is not passive—it’s a posture of faith that positions us to receive His blessings fully. “Want to listen without ads?

In this episode of Faith Over Fear, Carol talks with pastor and author Terry Crist about his new book, Now You Can Stop Running. Together, they unpack what it means to stop fleeing from pain, purpose, or even God—and instead face what’s been chasing us with courage and grace. Terry shares his own story of reaching a breaking point when he could no longer outrun what God wanted to heal, revealing that running often masks deeper fears of rejection, failure, or being truly known. Through candid conversation, Terry and Carol explore the connection between honesty, healing, and spiritual rootedness. They discuss how facing our inner struggles can restore connection with ourselves, others, and God—and how spiritual practices like solitude, Scripture reflection, and prayer can ground us when we feel the urge to escape. If you’ve ever found yourself avoiding hard conversations, hiding behind busyness, or believing you don’t deserve to rest, this episode will help you recognize the subtle ways you might be running—and offer practical tools to stop, stay, and be fully present to God’s transforming grace. Resource Referenced: Now You Can Stop Running: Finding the Rest Your Soul Desperately Needs What are some ways you might be running from pain, purpose, or vulnerability in your own life—perhaps without realizing it? When have you felt God gently calling you to stop running and face something hard? What happened when you did? What fear tends to drive your fleeing behaviors—fear of failure, rejection, being known, or something else? How might slowing down and telling yourself the truth—about your emotions, motives, or needs—open the door to healing? Which spiritual practices (solitude, journaling, Scripture, community) help you stay grounded when you want to escape? Do you believe you’re worthy of rest and belonging?

Inspired by a heartfelt message from a listener, I explore the feelings and anxieties that often accompany this profound human experience. Many people silently grapple with loneliness, and as I address the sentiments shared by our anonymous listener, I aim to shed light on the ways we can cultivate a sense of calm amidst these emotions.Our listener describes a struggle that is all too familiar: the fear of solitude and the yearning for companionship. At 62, he expresses concerns about his diminishing social circle and the daunting reality of facing each day alone. While he has attempted various avenues for connection, the lack of significant relationships brings a heavy anxiety that overshadows his days. Through our discussion, I aim to normalize these feelings, reminding listeners that loneliness is not a mark of failure or a personal flaw but rather a natural response signaling a need for connection.We delve into the emotional and biological implications of loneliness. I liken it to the feelings of hunger or thirst—a signal from our body indicating a deep-seated craving for interpersonal connection. This longing, when unmet, can trigger stress and elevate anxiety levels, propelling us into a cycle of panic and distress. Instead of allowing fear to guide our actions, I propose a different approach: cultivating acceptance and compassion for our feelings rather than a desperate urge to "fix" them.#Loneliness #Anxiety #AnxietyRelief #SelfCompassion #EmotionalHealing #Midlife #DatingOver60 #MentalHealth #FaithOverFear #InnerPeace #Calm #GinaRyan #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #LonelinessEpidemic #AnxietySucks #SelfKindness #EmotionalWellness #MidlifeCrisis #SeniorDating #EmotionalRegulation #NervousSystemCalm #FightOrFlight #AcceptancePractice #SacredPause #StopFixingStartAllowing #FloatingThroughIt #ComparisonScanning #BeWellAndAloha #GinaRyan #MentalHealthMatters #FearOfBeingAlone #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
