Send us Fan MailCasual faith sounds harmless until it starts reshaping your conscience. We sit down and talk honestly about the fear of the Lord and why it is not panic, paranoia, or an angry-God mindset. For us, it's reverence, awe, and a real awareness of God's holiness that shows up most in private, when nobody is watching and no one is clapping for you.We get practical about what that reverence produces: integrity, quick obedience, humility, and strong guardrails that keep your marriage, your mind, and your leadership from drifting. We share personal stories about early church “reverence moments,” the difference between religious fear and mature holiness, and why Proverbs says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. If you've ever wondered how good people slowly slide into compromise, we name the small steps that lead there and the safeguards that stop it early.Then we go to the passages many people skip. We talk about Uzzah touching the ark, Ananias and Sapphira lying about an offering, and what those stories reveal about treating God's presence as holy instead of common. We also address the online culture of tearing down pastors and churches, the warning in Korah's rebellion, and what Scripture actually means by blasphemy. We close with a clear list of ways to grow in the fear of the Lord through Scripture, worship, repentance, community, and remembering who God is.Subscribe for new conversations every Thursday, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Proverbs 1:1-7 | Shamus Drake

David penned a psalm while fleeing through the wilderness and hiding in a cave. In it, he addresses what it means to fear God. So what does it mean to fear God, and how do we cultivate a greater fear of God in our daily lives? How do we make sure that the fear of God is not merely an idea in our heads, but rather something that is lived out?

In this episode we continue our look at what it means to F.E.A.R. God. As we study Scripture, God begins renewing our minds. He starts replacing lies with truth. Fear gives way to faith. Pride gives way to humility. Selfishness begins giving way to love. Little by little, our desires begin looking more like His desires. SHARE HOW GOD IS USING THIS PODCAST!Support the show

What does it mean to fear the Lord? Once we understand this, how do we cultivate fear of the Lord in our hearts so we live in fear of the Lord? Why is this so important? My friend, Alexandra Jensen, helps us comb through these questions as she shares her reflection of Psalm 128 with us. She points out many of the beautiful promises of God which are given to us as we live surrendered and in fear of the Lord. Alexandra and her family attend Battlecreek Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Proverbs 31 concludes the Book of Proverbs by showing what wisdom looks like when it is lived out in everyday life. In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins explains how Proverbs 31 emphasizes wise leadership, faithful character, diligent living, care for others, and the fear of the Lord. The opening verses call leaders to exercise wisdom, protect the vulnerable, and pursue justice. The portrait of the excellent wife demonstrates strength, faithfulness, stewardship, generosity, and diligence. The chapter then brings everything back to the central foundation of biblical wisdom: fearing the Lord. Proverbs 31:30 declares, "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised." Ultimately, true wisdom is perfectly revealed in Jesus Christ. He leads righteously, serves humbly, lives faithfully, and perfectly honors the Father. Through Christ, sinners are forgiven and transformed into people increasingly characterized by godly wisdom.

In this episode we continue our look at what it means to F.E.A.R. God. Prayer is much more than bringing God a list of requests. It's an ongoing conversation that deepens our relationship with Him and gradually shapes our hearts to desire what He desires. Today we're going to build on that foundation as we discover what Scripture teaches us to pray for—and why praying God's priorities changes everything. SHARE HOW GOD IS USING THIS PODCAST!Support the show

26th July 2026 - Dundalk. Ministered by Luca & Clare Mapelli.

Scripture identifies one foundational element for all correct living: the fear of the LORD. Modern Christianity often replaces this with: Familiarity without reverence Comfort without accountability Knowledge without submission The result is instability.

In this Church on the Move Roswell message, Pastor Troy Smothermon teaches from Philippians 2:12–13 that believers don't work for salvation but work out what God has given through grace, cooperating with the Holy Spirit who provides desire and strength without forcing obedience. Pastor Troy explains that fearing the Lord means taking God seriously, trusting Jesus as the only way, and living with eternity in view, including the reality of heaven, hell, and judgment. Using illustrations of sculpting, everyday selfishness, and the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, he urges Christians to let God “chisel away” what doesn't belong so they shine brighter in a darker world. He outlines results of the fear of the Lord—knowing who God is, humility, and joyful obedience—and ends with a call to surrender to Jesus in prayer for first-time or returning commitment.

August 02, 2026, Pastor Tim Broton

The fear of the Lord isn't simply something we understand; it's a posture we choose. That choice doesn't happen in dramatic moments. It happens in ordinary, everyday life. It happens when we're deciding whether to trust God's wisdom or our own.

In this message, I share a deeply personal and difficult encounter with God that exposed the subtle sins of judgment, pride, self-importance, and spiritual blindness. What began as overwhelming conviction became a holy moment of revelation, repentance, and unforgettable grace. This message explores how God uses conviction to bring restoration rather than condemnation, and how encounters with His holiness transform our understanding of sin, mercy, and grace. Through biblical examples like David, Isaiah, Peter, and the sinful woman who anointed Jesus’ feet, we see that deeper awareness of our brokenness leads to a deeper appreciation of God’s love. If you’ve ever wrestled with shame, pride, doubt, or the fear that God is distant, this message will remind you that He still meets people, convicts hearts, and restores the broken. Scriptures referenced: James 2, Isaiah 6, Luke 7, Psalm 139, 1 Corinthians 15, John 21

[Psalm 34:4-9] I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. [5] Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.

In this episode we continue our look at what it means to F.E.A.R. God. For many Christians, prayer has become little more than an emergency phone call. -- When we need a job, need healing, need wisdom, need finances, need direction THEN we pray. God absolutely wants us to bring every one of those needs to Him. In fact, He tells us to. But prayer was never intended to be only a spiritual 911 call. --- Prayer is about relationship!SHARE HOW GOD IS USING THIS PODCAST!Support the show

The fear of the Lord means esteeming his way above our way ○ Spend time in God’s presence daily, submit to his ways above yours; find a mentor who can help you overcome areas where you are weak ○ God is fashioning you into the likeness of Christ to draw the world to him ○ Be zealous for the fear of the Lord and pursue it ○ So he can prove you trustworthy for the purposes he wants to carry out thru you

Following the lord with a holy fear brings us closer to the lord.

In this Church on the Move Roswell message, Pastor Troy Smothermon explains that believers are meant to reflect Jesus like the dawn reflects the sun so others see God's beauty. He highlights the church's outreach efforts, including serving first responders for 23 years, as a reflection of Jesus' love. Using stories and Scripture, he teaches that the fear of the Lord gives proper perspective of God's holiness and produces humility—strength under submission—making people teachable, correctable, and positioned for more grace (James 4:6). He contrasts humility with pride, describing pride as defensive, easily offended, and destructive, while humility fosters growth, mercy, forgiveness, and service. The message ends with an invitation to surrender to Jesus in prayer for salvation or renewal.

The Fear of the Lord

This message defines the "fear of the Lord" not as terror or dread, but as a deep reverence and awe for God's holiness that serves as the essential foundation for true wisdom and knowledge. It encourages believers to move past distorted perceptions of God that lead to foolishness, instead embracing a right perspective that invites peace, purpose, and profound intimacy with the Father.

What does it mean to “fear the Lord”? For many of us, the word fear brings to mind anxiety, dread, or being afraid. But in the Hebrew understanding, the “fear of the Lord” means something much deeper and richer: reverence, awe, humility, trust, and a proper sense of wonder before the holiness and goodness of God. In this episode of Walking with God, Pat Barry and Pastor Jeff Quinto reflect on the biblical teaching that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Together, they explore how reverence for God shapes the way we live, the choices we make, and the wisdom we seek. Rather than pushing us away from God, this holy awe draws us closer—helping us walk with greater faith, humility, and trust. Join Pat and Pastor Jeff for a thoughtful conversation about what true wisdom looks like when we begin with God.

Pastor Troy teaches on rediscovering the fear of the Lord as awe and reverence that draws people closer to God, using astronauts Reid Wiseman and Glover's “overview effect” after a dangerous moon mission as an illustration of being overwhelmed by the universe. He says modern life's speed, global instability, and prosperity can make people treat God casually, but believers should honor His Word and presence, work out salvation “with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12–13), and remember salvation is holy because Jesus' blood forgives, not merely covers, sin. From Isaiah 6:1–7, he explains that seeing God's holiness reveals human uncleanliness and produces humility and joyful obedience. He warns against ongoing, unrepentant sin and invites listeners to surrender to Jesus in prayer.

In part 3 of a three part look at walking in the fear of the Lord, Pastor Chris looks at the importance of walking in the fear of God rather than in the fear of the wicked. The fear of the Lord drives out the fear of the wicked and puts us in the proper mindset for dealing with those opposed to the Lord.
