Fear steals spiritual clarity, but surrendering it opens the heart to God’s personal good news. Whitney Hopler points to Luke 2:8-11, where the angel interrupts panic with a promise of rising joy through Jesus. Keywords like hearing God, good news, fear of failure, and Luke 2 shepherds belong right up front for discovery, because quieting fear is the doorway to actually receiving what God keeps trying to say. Highlights God’s best announcements lead with peace before explanation. Fear acts like interference; faith works like the reset button. Failure, rejection, and the unknown are common volume knobs stuck on too loud. Joy beats relief—it carries confidence, not just the absence of panic. Focusing on the Spirit amplifies direction and dials down dread. One brave decision at a time rewrites fear’s storyline. God’s good news is personal, persistent, and powerful enough to outshine bad thoughts. (Yes, even the dramatic ones… without needing pyrotechnics.)

Full Transcript Below: Overcome Fear to Hear God’s Good News for YouBy: Whitney Hopler Bible Reading:“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.’” – Luke 2:8-11, NIV On the first Christmas, the shepherds in the fields outside Bethlehem were just watching their flocks on a quiet night, when suddenly, the glory of the Lord shone around them, and an angel of the Lord appeared. The angel’s very first words to the terrified were a loving command: “Do not be afraid.” The message the angel carried from God was too good to be blocked by fear. The news of a Savior for the world was meant to bring “great joy,” but the shepherds couldn’t fully hear a message of joy if their minds were preoccupied with panic. How often has fear kept you from fully perceiving and accepting the good news that God sends your way? Think about what you’re feeling afraid of right now. The fear of failure can stop you from trying something new or stepping out in faith, even when God is calling you to do so. The fear of rejection can keep you silent about your faith or cause you to hide your true self, making you feel isolated instead of enjoying the relationships God wants you to enjoy. The fear of the unknown can push you to cling to your own plans and miss out on the wonderful, unexpected blessings God places in your path. Fear can be like static that interferes with your ability to hear God’s clear voice being broadcast to you. On the first Christmas, God gave the shepherds the ultimate good news, that the world’s Savior had arrived. But God continues to give good news every day. When you’re afraid, you can miss the good news God is trying to deliver to you. In order to hear it clearly, you have to follow the angel’s simple command: “Do not be afraid.” You can do so by focusing on the news rather than the noise. The shepherds looked at the terrifying glory of God, but they didn’t let their fear of it stop them from listening to the angel delivering God’s message. You need to focus on God speaking to you through his Holy Spirit (the news) instead of on the circumstances that are making you feel afraid (the noise). God’s good news for you will cause you to experience great joy. Joy is much greater than happiness – it’s a strong confidence that, because the Savior is here with you, everything (even the most challenging circumstances) will ultimately work out well for you. So, the next time fear tries to interfere with you hearing God’s messages, remind yourself of the angel’s words: “Do not be afraid.” Push past your fear, open your mind and heart, and listen carefully. Joy is waiting for you! Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider why it’s important to overcome fear to hear God’s good news for you, reflect on these questions: What type of fear (such as the fear of failure or the fear of rejection) is making it hard for you to hear God’s positive messages for you right now? In what areas of your life have you let the “glory of the Lord” – God’s presence – cause you to panic instead of paying close attention to God’s messages? How can reminding yourself that Jesus is the world’s Savior, with unlimited power, help you silence fearful thoughts? What’s one “good news” message – like one of God’s promises – from the Bible that you can focus on to replace a recurring fear? The angel promised “great joy.” How can you take a step of faith this week to move out of fear and toward embracing joy?

7 takeaways from this study “Do not fear” is a recurring biblical instruction, encouraging believers to trust in God's presence and guidance through all challenges. Trials and hardships serve as refining experiences that strengthen character, deepen faith, and prepare individuals for future deliverance. True courage is not the absence of fear but moving forward in faith despite fear — acting rather than being paralyzed. Maintaining a “fear of the Lord” means valuing the relationship with God and seeking to avoid anything that would harm that connection, rather than fearing punishment. Preparedness and vigilance — both spiritually and practically — are key to navigating adversity and supporting faith with disciplined action. Community support, mutual encouragement and accountability are vital for overcoming fear and standing strong together in faith. Resilience through God's love ensures that no external trial or hardship can separate believers from His presence and purpose. One of the Bible's most resonant instructions is, “Do not fear.” In Hebrew, it’s “אַל־תִּירָא” al-tira. This phrase and its variations thread through the stories of Israel, the teachings of the prophets, the words of Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus), and on into the Apostolic Writings. This journey is more than academic. It's personal and communal, rooted in the movements of our people and echoed in our own individual walks. The exhortation to trust Adonai (the LORD) despite what surrounds us is as timely today as it was in the days when Israel's back was to the sea. Let's walk through these scriptures, lessons, and our lived experience, finding inspiration to live al-tira — without fear — anchored in faith, hope and love. Standing firm when boxed in: Lessons from the Torah This study focuses on Exodus 13–15, as Israel was hemmed in at the edge of the sea. It’s an archetype for the moments when we too are boxed in by circumstances. “But Moses said to the people, ‘Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD (יְשׁוּעַת יְהוָה Yeshuat Adonai) which He will accomplish for you today…'” Exodus 14:13 NASB95 Notice that Israel wasn't told to whip up courage by their own strength, but instead to “stand” — to trust in Adonai's deliverance יְשׁוּעַ Yeshua (“salvation”). In fact, throughout the wilderness, from the Red Sea to Sinai and onward, the phrase al-tira is repeated. If you count each variation — including the times Adonai (YHWH, the LORD) commissioned יְהוֹשֻׁעַ Yehoshua (Joshua, “Yah is salvation”) — it appears at least 14–15 times. Each time, it addresses a real threat and a real fear, but points the response straight at faith. “Do not fear or be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 1:21 NASB95 This is more than literary repetition. It's a compassionate, fatherly reassurance that speaks not only to our heads, but to our hearts and our whole life. The Festival of Sukkot: Hope and dwelling with God Just over a month ago we celebrated סֻכּוֹת Sukkot (Festival of Tabernacles), the festival remembering God's dwelling (שָׁכַן shakan, “to dwell”) with us. Sukkot is about hope — about God's ultimate desire to restore what was lost in the Garden of Eden, to reconnect Heaven and Earth. This “tabernacling” — God pitching His tent among mankind (John 1:14) —reminds us that His presence is the antidote to fear. Even today as we recall these truths, we can find freedom in knowing that the goal isn't merely to escape danger, but to dwell with the Creator, to be led as Israel was by the pillar: “a pillar of leading both in front of and as a barrier behind.” God's presence shields and guides. Refining through trials: Hardship, maturity, glory One of my biggest takeaways is that fear isn't merely something to banish; trials are a refining process. We read in Exodus 15:2: “The LORD is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.” Each hardship, each moment when resources run out and we come to the end of ourselves, is an invitation to honor and glorify God. These moments press us into deeper reliance on Him. Trials refine us. They build us. They help us to mature. This refining isn't easy — but it brings us to “stand by and see Yeshuat Adonai” — “the salvation of the LORD.” Just as in ancient times, we're invited to see that our salvation is not our own doing. Hebrew wordplay: Fear, seeing, ‘fear of the LORD’ In our study, we uncovered a fascinating play on Hebrew words. The verbs “to fear” (יָרֵא yareʼ) and “to see” (רָאָה raʼah) share similar letters. The same three letters (י-ר-א) show up in both concepts — notably, with the verb inflection יַרְא yare, “he saw” — suggesting that seeing the LORD, being aware of His presence, is fundamental to having the right kind of fear, of reverence. Many prophets warned that rebellious people in Israel claimed Adonai doesn’t see what they were doing, yet indeed the LORD does see. A healthy “fear of the LORD” (יִרְאַת יְהוָה Yirat Adonai) is not about being frightened, but about living in the awareness that God sees, knows — and cares. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7 It's a relational fear — a deep respect for not wanting to break connection with God, more than dreading His judgment. Salvation, Yom Kippur & the limits of human offerings Almost two months ago when we celebrated יוֹם כִּפּוּר Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, it was clear: even all the sacrifices and acts at the מִשְׁכָּן Mishkan (“dwelling place,” i.e., the Tabernacle”) cannot cover every transgression. The ultimate lesson is clear — salvation (יְשׁוּעָה yeshuah) is only from the LORD, and His Yeshua. On Yom Kippur, we recognize that none of our own efforts can truly bridge the gap. It is only by God’s grace and initiative. From Sinai to the Promised Land: Remembering Who fights for us As Israel moved through the wilderness, again and again comes this refrain: “Do not fear.” Whether it was crossing the Red Sea, standing before the walls of Jericho, or facing kings like Og and Sihon, and the inhabitants of Canaan, the challenge was the same: Will we trust ourselves, or the God who fights for us? “Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 NASB95 The lesson? Deliverance is from God, and He alone brings the victory when we are at our limits. Courage in the face of suffering: From Torah to Apostolic Writings Our discussion brought us forward into the Apostolic Writings (בְּרִית חֲדָשָׁה Brit Chadasha), aligning with themes of endurance through suffering and the power of Messiah's resurrection. Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) echoes the same instruction: “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28 NASB95 Apostle Sha'ul (Paul) reminded his disciple Timothy: For God has not given us a spirit of timidity (δειλίας deilias, “cowardice”), but of power and love and discipline. 2Timothy 1:7 NASB95 Through these passages, we see that God's spirit cultivates strength, love and self-control — not paralyzing fear. Martyrdom, witness, endurance Martyrs, empowered by God, have stood firm in the face of persecution. The Greek word μαρτυρία martyria means “witness.” Martyrdom, in this sense, is the ultimate testimony of faith that light shines brightest in the darkness. Even when external freedoms are stripped away, true victory is choosing faithfulness over fear — just as the apostles did, preaching the Good News despite threats. The fear of the LORD as relationship, not terror The kind of fear God desires is a relational awe, not servile terror. Think of it like a marriage or a close friendship. A healthy relationship is not built on dread of punishment, but a healthy concern not to damage the bond. It is really healthy to fear that the relationship and connection will be broken because of actions we take. This aligns with a deep dive into true love by the apostle Yokhanan (John): There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. 1John 4:18 NASB95 This “fear” — φόβος phobos — is not what God desires. Instead, He asks for love that leads to obedience, reverence, and deep relationship. Moving from paralysis to purpose: Acting in faith despite fear Courage is not as the absence of fear, but as acting in faith regardless of it. It's doing the thing that God put in front of us. So don't be paralyzed by fear. Instead, train yourself, prepare and choose steps of faith. “Do not be fainthearted. Do not be afraid….” Deuteronomy 20:3 In our own lives, this means having a plan — whether for emergencies, spiritual battles, or daily challenges. Preparedness and vigilance: Working together After the return of Israel’s exiles from Babylon/Persia under Nehemiah, those rebuilding Jerusalem's walls “carried their load with one hand doing the work and the other holding a weapon…” (Nehemiah 4:17–18). The lesson is twofold: trust God, but also be prepared. Practical vigilance — both spiritual and physical — is not a lack of faith, but an outworking of it. As we stand together, each with our skills — some “building,” some “watching out,” some “encouraging,” and all praying — we create a community where all are safer, stronger, and more supported. Paul's “armor of God” metaphor (Ephesians 6) builds on this: put on the whole armor, gird yourself with truth, faith, and the sword of the Word. Endurance and the ministry of reconciliation Sometimes, we're called to endure rather than to withdraw. Paul, about to face chains in Jerusalem (Acts 21), declared: “I am ready not only to be bound, but even to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Yeshua” (Acts 21:13, paraphrased). Our group considered: when should we endure? When is it time to step away? Yeshua's teaching in Matthew 18 gives a process for reconciliation — attempting peace, but recognizing that at times, withdrawing or escalating a matter is necessary. The goal: endurance that seeks reconciliation where possible, with forgiveness and a heart to let go of vengeance. Community, boundaries and discernment We recognized the importance of boundaries — drawn from Torah's instructions on immovable boundary stones (Deuteronomy 19:14). In our relationships, staying “vigilant as serpents and innocent as doves” (Matthew 10:16) is just as important. We want to serve and love, but also discern and guard our own spiritual and emotional well-being. Discernment doesn't mean suspicion; it means wisdom, humility, and responsible stewardship, especially for those in leadership. Resilience: Nothing can separate us from God's love There’s a triumphant promise in Romans 8: “But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.” Romans 8:37–39 This is resilience — not denial of trials, but knowing that the worst the world can do cannot remove us from His love and purpose. Living al-tira “Do not fear” — “Al-tira.” Life's seas may seem impassable, walls may seem insurmountable, and adversity may threaten to paralyze us. But in every situation, God's call is to stand, trust, and move forward in faith. Through suffering or deliverance, through trial or triumph, we are to remember that the LORD is our strength, our shield, and our salvation. Let us encourage one another to be courageous — not because of our own might, but because of Yeshuat Adonai, the salvation of the LORD, goes before us and with us. Let's practice vigilance, invest in community, set wise boundaries, pursue reconciliation, and — most importantly — treasure the relationship with our Father above all. May we trust, endure, and rejoice, knowing that nothing can separate us from His love. We all strive to live lives of purposeful faith, echoing this across generations: “Do not fear. Stand and see the salvation of the LORD.”

My guest is Dr. Tamar Chansky, a clinical psychologist and author of the newly updated and revised edition of her seminal book Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. In our conversation, Tamar and I talk about how our understanding of OCD has evolved over the past 25 years, what intrusive thoughts really are, and how parents can recognize and respond to them with compassion and clarity.

Fear is something every one of us faces — it’s part of being human. But for the believer, fear doesn’t have to control us. In this heartfelt daily prayer and devotional, Keneesha Saunders-Liddie reminds us that faith isn’t the absence of fear — it’s the courage to move forward in spite of it. When Keneesha found herself stranded at just 13 years old, she experienced firsthand what it meant to trust God in a moment of real danger. That night, she learned that faith doesn’t always remove fear, but it gives us the strength to act even when we’re trembling. As followers of Christ, we are called to “do it scared” — to take the next step, obey His call, and trust that the Lord who is for us will lead us safely to where we need to be. The truth of Psalm 118:6 reminds us that no person, opinion, or circumstance can stand against God’s plan for our lives. He is with us, and He is for us — and that changes everything. Today's Bible Reading:“The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?” – Psalm 118:6, NLT

Inside each of us, God has placed a unique combination of gifts — a divine mix of talents, passions, and personality that reflects His creative design. Yet, as our daily prayer and devotional remind us, so often, fear holds us back from using them. We compare ourselves to others, worry about failure, and hide our gifts instead of letting them shine for God’s glory. In today’s meditation, Whitney Hopler reminds us that fear does not come from God. Instead, He gives us power, love, and self-control to boldly live out our purpose. When we step out in faith, relying on God’s strength, our gifts become like a blazing fire — illuminating His truth and love to a world in need. If you’ve been hesitant to use your gifts, today’s prayer invites you to ask God to reignite that holy fire within you. Let His Spirit empower you to serve with confidence, courage, and joy. Today's Bible Reading:“… I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” – 2 Timothy 1:6–7, ESV

Welcome to the Like Attracts Like Mindshift Challenge! Over the next 21 days, we are dropping a podcast a day with our most powerful mindset shifts and techniques. Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are. On Day 16, we examine a common fear for anyone looking to make a powerful change in their lives- the fear of failure. Once you realize that we are meant to be in a constant state of becoming, you see that failure cannot actually exist. Dissolving this fear is the key to unlocking the next steps to take! Action Step Today: What does the word "failure" mean to you? Can you see the lie in the idea that anything can be a failure? Sit with the understanding that failure cannot actually exist because nothing can ever truly be "done". With this new understanding, ask yourself what next steps to take. As always, if you want to discuss how any of these topics pertain to a specific area of your life, book a mindset shift session below: 1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule https://hoo.be/patmahan CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

In this episode, Jim Murphy, New York Times bestselling author, shares how leaders can build resilience, reframe fear, and operate at their highest level under pressure. His approach blends performance psychology, neuroscience, and spiritual discipline. 1. Identity Beyond Roles Murphy emphasizes the risk of anchoring identity in professional roles or achievements: “When I lost baseball due to injury, I felt like I lost everything. My whole identity was wrapped up in that role.” For executives and consultants, this is a reminder: leadership requires identity that outlasts titles, deals, or short-term wins. Anchoring in deeper values creates long-term stability. 2. Fear as a Performance Constraint Murphy defines fear as “a byproduct of self-centeredness.” The executive cost is high: constant comparison, judgment, and anxiety undermine decision-making. He identifies three key obstacles to peak performance: Excessive, scattered thoughts Negative or judgmental self-talk Concern with others' opinions “When you're at your very best … there's no concern for self. You're totally caught up in the moment.” This mirrors what elite consultants and CEOs must practice: focus on the work, not the ego. 3. Rewiring Fear and Trauma Murphy reframes fear and phobias: “Phobias are your subconscious working perfectly to protect you.” Through structured methods and neuroplasticity, leaders can “rewire” how they respond to past failures and pressure. “You can have a phobia for 50 years, and it can be gone in less than an hour.” For executives, the takeaway is clear: performance limits are rarely permanent, they can be retrained. 4. Freedom Through Surrender and Detachment Murphy shares a practical mantra he learned from an athlete he trained: “I expect nothing. I can handle anything.” This principle strips away attachment to outcomes, freeing leaders to make bolder, less ego-driven decisions. As he puts it: “The most powerful thing anyone can do is surrender their little strength for the power that grows the grass and spins the earth.” For leaders, this translates into resilience, the ability to operate under uncertainty without fear of reputational or financial loss clouding judgment. 5. The Best Possible Life (and Career) Murphy notes: “The best possible life has one foot in joy and one foot in suffering. We can't gain wisdom without going through hard things.” For high performers, this is a critical leadership principle: growth requires discomfort. A career without setbacks yields little wisdom. 6. Practical Tools Leaders Can Use Murphy provides several techniques executives can adopt immediately: Breath control: slowing to 5–6 breaths per minute to stabilize thought patterns under pressure. Structured reflection: gratitude, presence, and visualization as part of a daily routine. Ego discipline: exercises that reduce the need for external validation and increase clarity in communication.
