Podcasts about fear of man

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Mark & Holly Roth from Burnsville, MN. Thank you for standing with us throughout Project 23. Your support is helping others encounter Jesus, not just in theory, but in truth. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 11:31-33: And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,' he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?' But shall we say, ‘From man'?”—they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was a prophet. So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.” — Mark 11:31-33 The religious leaders are finally cornered. Jesus asked them a question about John the Baptist, and they knew whichever way they answered, it would cost them. So they evade with the response, “We don't know.” But they do know. They've just chosen not to answer, because the truth would force a change they're unwilling to make. They feared the people. They feared losing influence. They feared what complete honesty would require of them. So they play it safe. They answer with a non-answer. And Jesus refuses to answer their original question, just like they evade his. Sometimes the real problem isn't that we don't know what's true, it's that we don't want to deal with the consequences of accepting the known truth. So we pretend we're unsure. So we stall. So we delay obedience. Which in the end is disobedience. But deep down most of the time, we already know the answer. You know that habit has to go. You know that relationship isn't healthy. You know the forgiveness needs to be extended. You know Jesus is calling you to surrender something. Stop playing games with God. Stop saying “I don't know” when the truth is right before you. Remember, the truth is a gift. But it only changes you when you receive it from God, accept it into your heart, soul, and mind, and apply it to your life. #ActOnTruth, #Mark11, #ObedientFaith ASK THIS: Why did the religious leaders say “We don't know” when they did? What does fear of people often prevent us from doing? Where have you delayed obedience, claiming uncertainty? What would it look like to step into truth without hesitation? DO THIS: Name one thing God has already made clear to you, but you've been putting off. Then take one action step today toward obedience. PRAY THIS: Lord, I don't want to pretend I don't know what you're asking. Give me the courage to act on the truth I've already received. Amen. PLAY THIS: "From The Inside Out."

Surely one of the great idols of the human heart is the fear of man. We often care inordinately what other people think about us. How can this idol be identified and how do we begin to conquer it by God's grace? You can watch this message here.

In this powerful message, Pastor Brandon walks us through the concept of "fear of man" and the importance of shifting our focus from fearing people to fearing God, so we can be empowered to live authentic and courageous lives.

What is faith? Faith is overcoming the fear of man! You cannot live in faith while at the same time live in fear. You will either fear man or fear God but not both.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're discussing Kanye West's latest internet meltdown and what it reveals about the state of our unfortunate over-sexualized and depraved culture.

We're breaking down the bigger picture and talking about why it's time to turn away from worldliness/wickedness and the dysfunction of degeneracy and back to the truth and love of Christ.

On this episode of This vs. That, we explore the fascinating tension between fear of man and fear of God with special guest Ed Welch and guest co-host Jonathan Holmes, Executive Director of Fieldstone Counseling. We trace Ed's journey of writing his influential book "When People Are Big and God Is Small," which began as a response to the codependency movement of the 1980s. Through our conversation, we discover how Ed's perspective shifted from a sharp critique of cultural trends to a more pastoral approach as he began seeing these themes everywhere in Scripture. We discuss the evolution from codependency to today's independent mindset, and explore how the fear of God isn't about being afraid, but rather about awe and reverence that draws us closer to Him. Through personal stories and biblical wisdom, we unpack what it means to love Jesus more than we love the approval of others. ---  Anchored Virtual provides practical help to those hurting, by anchoring their hope in Jesus, and helping others gain a better understanding of his promises.

There is a very common type of fear identified in the Bible that is not talked about much. It is the fear of man. It's a fear of people and it can include intimidation, peer pressure, social anxiety, isolation, and insecurity. The fear of man can lead us to make choices that aren't right for us or avoid making decisions at all. Main Points:1. When we are filled with the fear of man we are no longer focused on God, his presence, and his power in our lives. The fear of man leads us to a place of bondage and enslavement. We become slaves to our fears and unable to move forward.2. The fear of man asks: What do people think of me? Will they accept me? What if I'm rejected? What if they don't like what I'm doing? How can I face something like that?3. The will of God for your life is peace and rest. God's will is for you to live with confidence in your Heavenly Father's love. When we fear others we live for their approval. As believers, we are to live for the approval of God.Today's Scripture Verses:Psalm 29:25 - “The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.”Hebrews 13:6 - “So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”Galatians 1:10 - “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”Psalm 27:1 - “The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?”Proverbs 14:27 - “The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Show Main Idea: This lesson examines how a misplaced desire impacts our identity, breeds insecurity, and prevents genuine spiritual growth.

Do you crave people's love and approval? Do you dread their rejection or mistreatment? Although we don't always realize it, many of our lives—and identities—are dangerously contorted around such longings and fears.

How can we tell the difference between being considerate and thoughtful versus living from a place where we fear man?  What are some of the warnings in scripture about fearing man and why do you think it's so important to heed them? How do we know when we are living in the fear of man? Can you define co-dependency and why can it be so tempting? How can we tell if we are co-dependent? What biblical remedy do we have as believers that can help us live in freedom from fear of man?
