Podcast appearances and mentions of faith over fear

Discussion about service, patriotism, faith, leadership, technology, and the responsibility to leave no one behind. Governor Moore explains why "service saved me," beginning with the mentors, teachers, coaches, ministers, aunties, and uncles who saw his potential before he could see it himself. He reflects on losing his father at age three, wearing handcuffs by eleven, being sent to military school, and eventually discovering that leadership is not about individual achievement. It is about lifting as we climb. The conversation then turns to the meaning of American patriotism. Governor Moore draws a sharp distinction between patriotism and nationalism, arguing that faith, not fear, is the foundation of a more perfect union. He and Mick also discuss Maryland's public-safety progress, service-year opportunities, apprenticeships, cannabis pardons, energy affordability, AI, data-center accountability, and why technological progress must include guardrails and public trust.

What gives a Christian courage when circumstances are frightening, costly, or painful? It begins with how we see God. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that courageous faith rests on the character of God. He is sovereign, holy, loving, faithful, all-knowing, all-powerful, and always present. Because God cannot be wrong or defeated, those who fully trust Him can face an uncertain world with confidence and peace. Our view of God determines whether we walk by faith or by sight. Jesus promised that believers would experience trouble in this world, yet Scripture is filled with men and women who endured persecution, suffering, rejection, and even death because they believed God's eternal promises were worth more than temporary comfort. Hebrews 11 remembers saints who refused to abandon their faith even when obedience carried an enormous cost. They did not receive everything God had promised during their earthly lives, yet they persevered because they were looking toward something better—an eternal inheritance secured by God Himself. Following Jesus will cost us something. But courageous faith knows that knowing Christ is infinitely more valuable than anything we could lose. Trust the God who never fails, and follow Him with confidence, whatever the cost. Prayer: Lord, forgive me for the times when I have put my desires before Your will and purpose for me. Help me to follow wherever You lead, no matter the cost. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “[Moses] regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward” (Hebrews 11:26).  Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Today’s Bible Verse:"But the people were thirsty for water there, and they grumbled against Moses. They said, 'Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?'" — Exodus 17:3 In moments of pressure and need, our natural instinct is often to complain. The Israelites, thirsty and weary in the desert, questioned God’s plan and Moses’ leadership. Exodus 17:3 gives us a raw glimpse into human doubt and desperation—but it also points us to God’s faithfulness in meeting needs we can’t meet ourselves. Want more encouragement throughout your week?

Have you ever felt relatively sure God was leading you toward something, only to have it turn out nothing like you expected? Maybe an opportunity disappeared, something you worked hard for failed or you waited so long that you’ve begun wondering whether you heard God correctly or did something to forfeit the call. In this episode of Faith Over Fear, Carol talks with Andy Lee, author of From Failure to Faith, about the difference between God’s call and the expectations we attach to it. Drawing from Joshua 1:9, Carol and Andy discuss how disappointment, limitations, closed doors and waiting can cause us to question our calling and measure success by results God never promised. You’ll learn how to separate what God actually said from what you assumed He meant, recognize when a change of direction might be needed and how trust Him when the journey looks different than expected. Ultimately, Carol and Andy invite us to consider a better question: What does faithfulness look like from here?

Today's Bible Verse: "Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers! I, even I, will sing to the Lord; I will praise the Lord, the God of Israel, in song." — Judges 5:3 When you're facing uncertainty, anxiety, or fear about the future, how can you find peace and learn to trust God? Judges 5:3 reminds us that one of the most powerful ways to strengthen our faith is to remember God's faithfulness and praise Him for what He has already done. Remembering God's faithfulness changes our perspective. When we focus only on what we cannot control, uncertainty can quickly become overwhelming. But when we look back at God's provision, protection, guidance, and promises, we are reminded that the same God who has been faithful in the past is still with us today.

What is the “secret sauce” to winning by faith?You use the name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus, the Word of God, your covenant, and the power of the Holy Spirit—and then you do it again. And again. And again, until you win.In Part 3 of How to Win, Terry Mize explains why faith must be more than familiar words, religious clichés, or Scripture spoken from the head. God's Word must become established in your spirit so that it rises up when fear, danger, and crisis arrive.Drawing from David's confrontation with Goliath and Terry's own life-threatening encounter with an armed hitchhiker, this message reveals how to confront fear immediately, stand on God's covenant, and refuse to surrender to the enemy's threats.David never honored Goliath by calling him a giant. He saw him as an uncircumcised Philistine—a man without a covenant. David understood: “This man cannot win, and I cannot lose.”In this episode, you'll discover:• Why fear and faith cannot live in the same house• The difference between speaking from your head and speaking from your spirit• How life's pressures can choke the Word• Why you must confront fear before confronting the problem• How to use the name, blood, Word, covenant, and power of the Holy Spirit• The “secret sauce” of persistent faith• What David understood about Goliath that Israel had forgotten• Why covenant changes how you see every battle• How to keep standing until victory comesKey Scriptures:1 Samuel 17Luke 10:192 Timothy 1:71 John 4:18Mark 4:14–20Romans 8:11CONNECT WITH US

Rev. Dr. Nikita Joel Bailey, morning speaker; "Faith Over Fear;" Matthew 14:22-33

When responsibilities pile up and the people and circumstances you care about feel dependent on you, it can be easy to slip from faithful diligence into anxious striving. We work harder, plan further ahead, and try to control outcomes, often without realizing fear is driving our efforts. In this episode of Faith Over Fear, Jennifer Slattery talks with Bible teacher and bestselling author Dr. Tara Dew about the peace available to us when we remember who our Shepherd is and learn to entrust ourselves and those we love to His care. Drawing from Psalm 23 and insights from her book Overflowing Peace: What God Says About a Peace-Filled Life, Tara shares how understanding the nature and care of our Good Shepherd can help us rest, recognize when fear is fueling our work, and follow God even when we can’t see where He’s leading. Together, she and Jennifer discuss practical ways to shift our focus from what feels dependent on us to God’s faithfulness, provision, and guidance—and why we can trust that the Shepherd who leads us into unfamiliar territory already knows the path ahead.

#201 // You feel it. That pull that says you were made to carry something significant. Something that matters. Something for God.Then you look at your actual Tuesday. The laundry, the inbox, the school pickup, the thing that didn't go the way you planned. And that feeling of significance gets real quiet. You start to wonder if you're doing enough, if any of it's even working, if the big thing God put in you is ever going to look like anything from the outside.If that's you, there's something in this week's episode of Positioned to Prosper that's going to take the pressure off completely. Because Jesus said the Kingdom of God isn't out there and it isn't someday. It's inside you, right now. And what's growing in there is bigger than you think.Here's what we're getting into:→ WHY YOU CAN'T SEE IT. What Jesus meant in Luke 17 when He said the Kingdom doesn't come with observation, and why you've been searching the outside for something that lives on the inside→ THE PRESSURE-RELIEF OF THE MUSTARD SEED. Why the smallest, most hidden, most ordinary-looking thing in you is the exact thing God grows into the biggest, and why you can stop trying to make yourself big enough to matter→ YOU'RE THE SOIL. The reason your ordinary, everyday life isn't a disqualification, it's the whole design, and why the seed of the Kingdom needs a real woman living a real life to grow→ YOU DON'T GET DISQUALIFIED FOR A BAD DAY. Why you don't lose your capacity to carry the Kingdom because you had a rough one, got it wrong, or were short with somebody, and the protection God built right inThere's a whole ecosystem of life God wants to grow through the seed He planted in you. So the real question is, how are you going to steward the Kingdom that's already inside you?

Jesus invites us to follow Him. But following Jesus doesn't mean life will always be easy. Even as Christians, we go through storms. Some storms are small - a worry, a fear - a passing moment, but other storms are big - relationships, sickness - a longer battle to fight. But we must never forget that Jesus is in the storm with us. Jesus is greater than anything we will ever face, and Jesus is Lord over all. It is in the storms where our faith grows the most. Therefore, will you put your eyes on Jesus and not simply on the storms? Let's choose faith over fear today.

Today's Bible Verse: "But Jael, Heber's wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died." — Judges 4:21 Judges 4:21 records one of the most unexpected moments in the Bible. Israel's victory did not come through a mighty warrior or a powerful army, but through Jael—an ordinary woman who courageously acted at a pivotal moment. God used someone few would have expected to accomplish His purposes and bring deliverance to His people.

#200 // You're the strong one. The high-capacity one who holds it all together when everything's falling apart. But the very strength you've been relying on might be the thing most likely to break you.There's a better way to get through the storm you're in — and it's not gritting your teeth and holding on tighter.The night Hurricane Helene flooded our island, I lost my home and 80% of everything I owned. And in the middle of that storm, God showed me something about resilience I'd been getting wrong for 30 years of walking with Him. This message is what I learned.In this week's episode -- it's the message I shared this past week on Get Ready with God -- I'm walking you through the difference between being rigid and being grounded, and why one breaks in the storm while the other bends and springs right back up.Here's what we get into:→ THE NIGHT I LOST EVERYTHING. The hurricane that flooded an island that had never flooded, and the moment God told me to ground myself before the water ever came in→ THE OAK VS. THE PALM. Why the strongest tree on the island is the one that snaps in the storm, and what that has to do with the way you've been white-knuckling your way through hard seasons→ THE SECRET IN THE ROOTS. How a palm tree with shallow roots outlasts a deep-rooted oak in a hurricane, and the community secret underground that keeps it standing→ WHY RIGID ISN'T SAFE. What a car accident reveals about bracing for impact, and why the hypervigilance you've mistaken for strength is actually putting you at risk→ ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE. How to become the palm tree — grounded, resilient, bending without breaking — not in your own strength, but by the power of the Spirit

 Uncertainty can leave us worried, hesitant, and desperate to understand what God is doing. In this episode of the RENEW Podcast, “How to Trust God When You Don't Know What Comes Next,” we discover from Proverbs 3:5–6 how to surrender the unknown, obey the next step, and confidently follow the God who already sees the entire path. 

Do It Anyways - Faith Over Fear / Adam Cummings by Hope City Church

God calls us to live with faith over fear. Yet, we live in a world of fear. We are bombarded every day with worries, doubts and fears. And, every day we must decide if we are going to live with faith or fear. When we bring our fears to Jesus, He hears our heart and answers our prayers. And, when He does, we are called to respond with worship, gratitude and service. What fears do you have today? Fears of the future, fears of failure, fears for your family or friends. Let's bring all our fears to Jesus and ask Him to grow our faith. He is willing and able today.

In Psalm 121 we see God as our Keeper on life's journey. He is the Maker of heaven and earth who never slumbers or sleeps, always aware and always near. He guards our steps, shields us from harm, and watches over our daily coming and going. True faith begins not with confidence in ourselves but in him, the God who faithfully walks beside us. Listen now and be inspired to face your mountains trusting the One who never leaves your side.

Today's Bible Verse: "These are the nations the Lord left to test all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan... He did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience." — Judges 3:1–2 Judges 3:1–2 reveals an unexpected truth about God's character. After Israel entered the Promised Land, God allowed certain nations to remain—not because He had abandoned His people, but because He wanted to test them and teach a new generation to trust and depend on Him. What looked like a setback was actually an opportunity for spiritual growth.

God's love for His children is deeper than we can fully comprehend. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that God not only redeemed us for eternity, but He also walks with us through every season of life—comforting, protecting, delivering, and sustaining us. Before the foundation of the world, God knew His people by name. He orchestrated every detail of our lives, opened our eyes to His great salvation, and gave us the Holy Spirit to teach us, guide us, and remind us of Christ's words. Yet when trouble comes, many pray as though God must be persuaded to care, failing to remember the depth of His love already displayed at the cross. Dr. Youssef warns that too many believers live beneath their spiritual privileges. Instead of standing on God's promises, they surrender to fear, anxiety, and discouragement. But the child of God has access to the limitless resources of heaven. We are not powerless, and we are never alone. When trials come, the Holy Spirit strengthens us, the Word of God guides us, and the presence of Christ surrounds us. Our hope is not rooted in human ability or favorable circumstances, but in the unchanging character of our faithful Savior, who has already won the victory through His death and resurrection. As Christians, we can turn to God with confidence, knowing we are His beloved children, and pray:  Lord, we both know that I'm in trouble, but I know Your Word says, “Do not let your hearts be troubled” (John 14:1). I am confident that You have already blessed me with every spiritual blessing. You have given me all the strength I need to face these problems. I know that You are walking with me and that You promised never to leave me nor forsake me (Hebrews 13:5). I thank You for hearing my concerns and for providing a solution. Help me to discern Your will and to obey You faithfully. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.   The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission.

#199// There's a moment right before your breakthrough when everything in you wants to quit. If you're in it right now, do not believe what you're hearing.You know the voice. "I can't do this. It's too hard. This can't be God, because if it were, it wouldn't hurt like this." I said every one of those things during my own nervous breakdown this past February. So hear me in this: That voice in your head is not a sign you've failed. It's a sign your breakthrough is closer than it has ever been.In the last episode we talked about how God's holy demolition is the first step of full restoration. This week we're getting into what happens in the "pregnant pause" — the space between the clearing out and the rebuilding, where the enemy makes his hardest play for your life, and where your real breakthrough gets decided.In this week's episode -- it's the message I shared this past Sunday at REVIVE Church of Tampa -- I'm walking you through the surrender that carries you all the way through to the other side.Here's what we get into:→ THE LIES IN THE PAUSE. The exact coping mechanisms the enemy offers you in the space between demolition and restoration, and why hearing them means breakthrough is imminent→ OFFENSE IS THE BAIT. How offense took Peter out, why it's really just a fear that you won't be safe, and how the way you handle it decides whether you walk into true restoration or an unholy demolition that only leads to more loss→ SURRENDER, BUT NOT THE WAY YOU THINK. The mystery God revealed to me in my own suffering: you don't have to muster the willpower to surrender and stand. There's one decision underneath that one that makes all the rest possible→ WHAT GETHSEMANE REVEALS. The offense that came even for Jesus, the couplet of surrender He prayed, and the strengthening heaven sends the moment you stop striving→ HE'S PREPARING YOU TO REIGN. Why God built you to prosper through severe suffering, and what the wheat and the tares have to do with the pause you're standing in right now

Sermon Series: "Wandering In The Wilderness"Spring/Summer 2026Season 13Episode 9

Today's Bible Verse: "The people served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel." — Judges 2:7 Trust in God is often forged through experience. Judges 2:7 reflects on a generation of Israelites who remained faithful because they had personally witnessed God's power, provision, and faithfulness. They had seen Him deliver His people, keep His promises, and work in ways that left no doubt about His presence. Our own faith grows in much the same way. While we may wish for an easier path, God often uses life's most difficult seasons to deepen our trust in Him. Challenges become opportunities to experience His provision, discover His strength, and remember His faithfulness in ways that comfort alone never could.

#198// If something in your life is being torn down right now, hear this. Demolition is not a sign of failure. It is the first step of restoration.A relationship. A season. A ministry. A version of yourself you spent decades building. And somewhere in the noise of it, a question forms that you have not said out loud: what if this is it? What if this is just where my life stays now?It isn't. Wherever God is tearing something down in the life of a believer, He is preparing to build. Victory is your portion in Christ Jesus, and He does not leave anything fallow forever. But it is on you to decide what your demolition means.In this week's episode -- it's the message I shared this past Sunday at REVIVE Church of Tampa -- I'm walking through Isaiah 58:11-12 and what God showed me about the difference between a life stuck in permanent demolition and a life that is actively being restored.Here's what we get into:→ STOP TRYING TO BE THE FOREMAN. The thing a general contractor told my husband in the middle of a demolition that will change how you survive every tearing-down season of your life→ THE WORD TO TETHER YOURSELF TO. Three promises hidden in Isaiah 58:11 that you can declare over a life that currently looks like a construction site, and why your feelings will follow your believing→ THE STRONGHOLD WEARING A DISGUISE. The thing you've been protecting because you believe you won't be safe without it, and the four-word declaration God is waiting on you to say→ IT WAS INSIDE BEFORE IT WAS OUTSIDE. The dream God gave me about our church building before a single wall came down, and what it reveals about what He has already placed inside you→ AFTER YOU HAVE SUFFERED A LITTLE WHILE. What Peter's total collapse teaches us about restoration, and the line in 1 Peter 5 most of us have been taught to skip right over

Today's Bible Verse: "I will not drive them out before you; they will become traps for you, and their gods will become snares to you." — Judges 2:3 Judges 2:3 comes after Israel failed to fully obey God's instructions when they entered the Promised Land. Instead of removing the influences that would lead them away from Him, they compromised. As a result, God warned that those remaining nations would become a source of temptation and spiritual struggle. It's a sobering reminder that our choices have consequences. Yet the story of Judges is not only about failure—it's about God's relentless grace. Again and again, God's people wandered from Him, and again and again, He responded with mercy, raising up judges to rescue and restore them. Their failures were real, but they were never beyond God's ability to redeem.

Change is something everyone wants, but few people are willing to embrace when it costs them comfort. In this message, you'll discover why lasting transformation requires more than good intentions—it requires following Jesus on a path that is often different, difficult, and driven by faith. If you've been struggling to grow, overcome old habits, or trust God through uncertainty, this sermon will help you understand why healthy change is worth the challenge. In this sermon, Pastor Darrison Tellez of Free House Church in Miami joins Impact Church to teach why following Jesus isn't about finding the easiest path—it's about becoming the person God created you to be through genuine transformation.

Today's Bible Verse: "The Lord was with the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country, but they were unable to drive the people from the plains because they had chariots fitted with iron." — Judges 1:19 Judges 1:19 reminds us that even when God is with us, we may still encounter obstacles that feel overwhelming. The tribe of Judah experienced victory because the Lord was with them, yet they struggled to overcome the people living in the plains because they had powerful iron chariots. This passage reveals the tension between God’s presence and the challenges we face.

Today's Bible Verse: "She replied, ‘Give me a special blessing. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me also springs of water.’ So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs." — Judges 1:15 Judges 1:15 tells the story of Achsah, the daughter of Caleb, who boldly asked her father for an additional blessing. After receiving land in the Negev, a dry and difficult region, she recognized her need for water and courageously brought her request forward.

Have you ever become so familiar with your struggle that it started to shape your identity?

Whether you're carrying wounds from your past, struggling to trust God with your future, or simply feeling stuck in your faith, this message will encourage you to get up, pick up your mat, and walk in the freedom Jesus has already made available.

God wants you to walk wisely and confidently with Him, refusing to let fear or circumstances cause you to doubt His goodness. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that the enemy often tempts us to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and afraid—but we serve a sovereign God who has good things in mind for His children. Even men of great faith—Joseph, Daniel, Moses, David, and the disciples—faced moments when doubt could have overtaken them. Yet they remained steadfast in the Lord's ability, eventually coming to the point where they boldly confronted their fears. We are called to do the same. Dr. Youssef explains that worry does exactly what its root meaning suggests: it strangles and chokes. It stifles our God-given potential and keeps us from living victoriously. Solomon's warning to catch “the little foxes” reminds us that seemingly small sins—worry, doubt, and fear—can quietly damage our devotion and steal our joy. But God is merciful and powerful. When your life is surrendered to Him, you do not have to be anxious about tomorrow. He provides perfectly, faithfully, and on time. Prayer: Lord, I surrender my life to You. Thank You for Your peace and provision. Help me to root out the worries and insecurities in my heart that lead me astray so that I can live joyfully and righteously for You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  “Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom” (Song of Songs 2:15).  Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Today's Bible Verse: "For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people — the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel." — Colossians 1:4-5 Reflection:When life doesn’t go as planned, it can be easy to lose sight of hope. Colossians 1:4-5 reminds us that our faith and love are rooted in something greater than our present circumstances — the hope we have through Jesus and the promise of eternity.
