Podcasts about Fear of God

How do we establish the Fear of God in our lives? What does it look like to build our lives on a firm foundation and what are the practices we can step into that will help us in the journey? In this message, Pastor Chris explores three such practices: Prayer, Fasting and Worship. GRACE CAPITAL CITY: "Reaching, raising, and releasing disciples for the glory of the King and the coming of His Kingdom."www.gracecapitalcity.com | @gracecapitalcitySunday Gatherings at 10 am | Miracle Theater | 535 8th St SE, Washington, DC  

In Episode 222, we explore Luke 12:4-7 and Jesus' profound teaching on the two kinds of fear—and which one is actually worth having. Jesus addresses His disciples as "dear friends"—a tender opening before He says something that sounds hard: "Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot do any more to you after that. But I'll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill you and then throw you into hell. Yes, he's the one to fear." Through guided meditation, discover the two kinds of fear Jesus identifies. The first is the fear of people—fear of what they think, fear of what they might do, fear of rejection, ridicule, and loss. This is the fear that keeps us silent when we should speak, hidden when we should be seen, performing instead of living. It's the fear that gives other people control over our decisions, our words, and our lives. Jesus says: don't be afraid of them. They can harm your body—but that's the absolute limit of their power. They cannot touch what God holds. The second kind of fear is the fear of God. And here's where the passage takes a breathtaking turn—because Jesus immediately follows this call to fear God with the most tender and intimate image imaginable. Sparrows. Five of them sold for two copper coins—the cheapest possible transaction in the ancient marketplace. Essentially worthless by human standards. And yet God does not forget a single one. And then Jesus says something that should stop us completely: the very hairs on your head are all numbered. Not counted—numbered. God knows not just how many hairs you have. He knows each one individually. That is the level of attention, the level of care, the level of intimate personal knowledge that God has for you. This episode explores the profound truth that these two things belong together—the awesome power of God and His intimate, personal love for you. This is the God we're called to fear. Not a distant, indifferent power who rules from a cold distance. Not an angry judge waiting to catch you failing. But a Father who knows every hair on your head, never forgets a single sparrow, and calls you worth far more than a whole flock of them. Here's the truth about fear: when you truly fear God—when you understand how vast and powerful and loving He is—every other fear shrinks. The opinions of people lose their grip. The threats of the world lose their power. The disapproval of others loses its control. Because you realize that the One who holds everything is also the One who holds you. Fear of God doesn't paralyze. It liberates. Learn how to identify the specific fear that has been controlling your decisions, your words, and your life—and how to hold it up against the truth that you are known, numbered, and valued by the God of the universe. Discover what it means to take one step today that fear has been preventing. Experience the freedom that comes from replacing the fear of people with a deeper awe of the God who holds you.

In this episode, Pastor Olu explores the spiritual discipline of confession and how it cultivates the fear of God. Drawing from the historic Pyongyang Revival and Psalm 51, he unpacks how confession invites us to tell the truth about our sin, come face-to-face with a holy God, and position ourselves to receive His mercy. Ultimately, confession does not earn God's forgiveness, but because of Jesus, we can step into the light with confidence and discover the beautiful paradox of Psalm 130:4: “With you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.”GRACE CAPITAL CITY: "Reaching, raising, and releasing disciples for the glory of the King and the coming of His Kingdom."www.gracecapitalcity.com | @gracecapitalcitySunday Gatherings at 10 am | Miracle Theater | 535 8th St SE, Washington, DC

In this opening lesson of the 28th and final gate of Orchot Tzaddikim—the Gate of Fear of Heaven (Shaar Yirat Shamayim)—Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explains that the Torah's concept of "fear" does not primarily mean terror or anxiety. Rather, yirah means awe, awareness, perspective, and clarity. True fear of Heaven is living with a constant awareness of Hashem's greatness and recognizing our personal relationship with Him. The Torah repeatedly teaches that this awareness is the foundation of Jewish life and the greatest treasure a person can possess.Rabbi Wolbe then demonstrates that Torah is not the ultimate goal—it is the pathway that leads to Yirat Shamayim. Torah study without developing a deeper awareness of Hashem is compared to possessing the keys to the inner rooms of a house while lacking the key to the front door. Likewise, the purpose of receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai was not simply to acquire knowledge, but to establish an everlasting relationship with Hashem. Every mitzvah reconnects us to that covenant and strengthens that bond.The lesson concludes by describing three levels of fear. The lowest level is serving Hashem because of concern for what other people think. A higher level is serving Hashem out of fear of punishment. The highest and purest level is serving Hashem solely because He is Hashem—out of love, awe, gratitude, and a sincere desire to fulfill His will. Rabbi Wolbe closes by encouraging us to recognize the countless gifts Hashem grants us every moment—from the ability to breathe and see to the privilege of living each day—which naturally inspires profound gratitude and authentic Yirat Shamayim._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 16, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 5, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

At Mt. Sinai, an entire nation experienced  an encounter with God, provoking two responses. Israel cried out for distance; Moses walked into the cloud. Pastor Olu unpacks Exodus 19–20 shedding light to the difference between a fear that drives us from God and a fear that draws us near.GRACE CAPITAL CITY: "Reaching, raising, and releasing disciples for the glory of the King and the coming of His Kingdom."www.gracecapitalcity.com | @gracecapitalcitySunday Gatherings at 10 am | Miracle Theater | 535 8th St SE, Washington, DC

In this message Pastor Chris teaches from the book of Job; a remarkable story about cosmic conversations and ramifications, the nature of suffering, the finiteness of our own understanding, and ultimately about the role our Fear of God can play in all of it.GRACE CAPITAL CITY: "Reaching, raising, and releasing disciples for the glory of the King and the coming of His Kingdom."www.gracecapitalcity.com | @gracecapitalcitySunday Gatherings at 10 am | Miracle Theater | 535 8th St SE, Washington, DC  

Fear of God: We have a problem!No More Fear - Living Life with a Living SaviorWe live in a world filled with fear—fear for our kids and marriages, fear of sickness and job loss, fear of the future and the headlines, even fear of death itself. Many people feel trapped by these fears, either trying to control everything around them or resigning themselves to the thought, “That's just how I am.”But the resurrection of Jesus speaks directly into those fears.In this series, we will explore what it means to live life in light of a living Savior. If Christ had not been raised, many of our fears would be completely justified. But because the tomb is empty and Jesus is alive, everything has changed. His resurrection gives us a new foundation for our faith, a new identity as His people, and a new way to face the fears that shape our lives.Again and again, we can return to this central truth: because Jesus is alive, fear does not have the final word. Through the power of the resurrection, we can move from being gripped by fear to being grounded in the perfect love of a risen Savior.

Psalm 24 proclaims that the entire earth belongs to the Lord, who alone is the Creator and rightful King over all creation. The psalm reminds us that those who draw near to God must come with clean hands, pure hearts, and a sincere desire to seek Him. It culminates in a triumphant celebration of the “King of Glory,” declaring that the Lord is mighty, victorious, and worthy to be welcomed and worshiped. Ultimately, this psalm calls God's people to honor His holiness, seek His presence, and joyfully recognize Him as the sovereign King over all.

In the lives of David and Saul, we see two Kings whose fear leads them to very different places: David's fear of God, frees him to honor; while Saul's fear of man, subjects him to insecurity. In this message, Pastor Chris explores how we can be a people who fear God and are freed to honor all people, no matter the circumstance.GRACE CAPITAL CITY: "Reaching, raising, and releasing disciples for the glory of the King and the coming of His Kingdom."www.gracecapitalcity.com | @gracecapitalcitySunday Gatherings at 10 am | Miracle Theater | 535 8th St SE, Washington, DC  

Do you want to be free from anxiety & worry? We can learn how from the life of David. He directed all his “fear” to the Lord. He developed that “fear” by spending years of his life in a field worshiping and when you look to God like that you develop a deep sense of reverence that is the “fear of God”. When all your “fear” is directed towards God you will have no room left to fear anything or anyone else.

Wisdom begins in the awareness that God is God, and we are not, and that God is good. Wisdom then encourages us to live our lives from there, as we discover together ways of living that lead to more life.

Praise and worship are two distinct acts. Praise looks back at what God has done, while worship sets everything aside to focus entirely on who God is. To truly worship God, we must truly know God, because you can only love someone as much as you know them. Familiarity with church and with God can quietly erode our sense of awe, leaving us going through the motions without genuine submission. Like the sinful woman who washed Jesus' feet with her tears, real worship requires letting go of pride and dignity. God is holy in a way that should produce reverence, not casualness. Because of what Jesus did at Calvary, we have access to a holy God, and that access is worth far more than we typically treat it. He deserves our full, undignified, wholehearted worship.Support the show

In this message from Mark 9:1–10, Pastor Olu invites us to slow down and behold the glory of Christ through the account of the Transfiguration. As part of our Fear of God series, this sermon explores how fearing God begins with seeing Him rightly. Contrasting Peter's impulse to build with the Father's command to "listen to Him," we're reminded that our first response to God's glory is not frantic activity but attentive worship. Discover how beholding Christ transforms us, why the cross is the fullest revelation of God's glory, and how Jesus invites us from striving into His presence.GRACE CAPITAL CITY: "Reaching, raising, and releasing disciples for the glory of the King and the coming of His Kingdom."www.gracecapitalcity.com | @gracecapitalcitySunday Gatherings at 10 am | Miracle Theater | 535 8th St SE, Washington, DC

Featuring: Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Salgado, Ben Cossette, Johnny V., Mike McHugh, and James Gowell Edited by: Tim NicholsonIn this episode of Thriving in the Word, we continue The Hall of Faith series and we stop at a man who spent most of his life running — from his brother, from his past, from himself — and still somehow ended up in the Hall of Faith, leaning on a staff at the end of his days, blessing the next generation.We walk through Genesis 25, 27, 28, and 32 and trace it all the way into Hebrews 11:21, where Jacob, by faith, blessed each of Joseph's sons and worshiped as he leaned on top of his staff. The crew goes everywhere — from the "No Fear of God" mentality that marked Jacob's early years, to the night everything changed at Peniel, the wrestling match that left him with a limp and a new name, to the reminder God permanently built into his body that you don't walk away from an encounter with the Living God the same way you came in.Jacob is the deceiver who became Israel. He grabbed his brother's heel in the womb, stole a birthright over a bowl of soup, wore goat skins to trick a blind father, and spent twenty years getting played by his father-in-law. And yet — at the very end of his life, leaning on that staff, hip wrecked and days from death — he crossed his hands over two boys and spoke a blessing rooted not in what he could see, but in what God had promised generations before he was born.That's not clean faith. That's broken, limping, hard-won faith — and it still counted.We talk about what it looks like when God marks you, when the turning point in your life isn't a highlight reel but a dislocated hip and a new name you didn't earn. We talk about what it means to carry the blessing into the next room even when you're barely standing, and why Jacob's limp wasn't a punishment — it was a permanent reminder of who showed up when the fight was over.That leads us into some honest questions: What does the fear of God actually look like when it becomes real in your life — not religious, not routine, but real? What's your Bethel? What's your Peniel? And when you're at the end, will you still be reaching forward, speaking blessing over people who will outlive you?Topics include: Hall of Faith, Hebrews 11, Jacob, Genesis 25, Genesis 27, Genesis 28, Genesis 32, wrestling with God, Peniel, Bethel, Jacob and Esau, Jacob and Israel, name change in the Bible, no fear of God, fear of the Lord, Jacob's hip, faith and suffering, turning point faith, generational blessing, limping faith, broken people in the Bible, what is the fear of God, faith that costs you something, blessing the next generation, hard-won faith, covenant promise, stairway to heaven, God's faithfulness, Christian podcast, Bible teaching, Bible study on Jacob, Hall of Faith series, endurance in faith, wrestling with God in prayer, faith-based living, walking with God, Thriving in the Word.More Info: ⁠⁠https://www.thrive.church⁠⁠ Give: ⁠⁠https://www.thrive.church/give/⁠⁠ Need prayer? ⁠⁠prayer@thrive.church⁠⁠ This is a presentation of Thrive.Church. © All Rights Reserved.

What if the most loving thing isn't the comment everyone else is leaving? Before you hit "proud of you," "you look beautiful," or "live your truth," ask yourself: are you encouraging someone toward life, or cheering them further into the very thing that's destroying them—and what does God think about it?#ChristianTikTok#ChristianReels#JesusChrist#BibleTruth#BiblicalTruth#ChristianPodcast#FaithOverFeelings#KingdomMindset#FollowJesus#DiscipleOfChrist#LoveAndTruth#SpeakTheTruth#TruthInLove#RealLove#BiblicalLove#ChristianLiving#ChristianEncouragement#FearGod#RepentAndBelieve#Watchman#CultureAndChrist#CounterCulture#ChristianPerspective#WorldVsWord#ModernChristianity#HardTruth#DeepFaith#ThinkAboutIt#TruthMatters#WakeUpChurch#LikingTheirPostsWontSaveThem#YoureNotHelpingThem#LoveDoesntCheerForSelfDestruction#IdentityInChrist#CreatedByGod#SpiritualDiscernment#ChristianContent#BibleTeaching

When we reverence God, we position ourselves to receive all the benefits that come with putting Him first in our lives.

Has the church lost the fear of God? In this episode of Staff Talks, Francis reflects on a growing burden he feels for the modern church - a drift away from honor, biblical conviction, and the simple authority of Scripture. From teaching in prison to worshiping openly on Stanford's campus, Francis contrasts the fear of man with the fear of God and wrestles with what happens when culture, influence, and endless opinions begin shaping our understanding of truth. As more voices reinterpret long-held Christian beliefs, this conversation explores a few of the tensions many believers feel today: Who do we trust? How do we stay grounded? And what does it look like to hold to Scripture as our anchor in a sea of voices all vying to be the answer to our questions? More than anything, this episode is a call to return to a faith marked by reverence for God, confidence in His Word, the awareness that eternity is real, and a passionate pursuit of truth that leads us to love others well.
