What happens when fear takes the driver’s seat in your life? Fear has a way of creeping in during life’s storms—whispering worst-case scenarios, paralyzing decision-making, and robbing us of peace. In this powerful episode of Designed 4 More, we tackle the timeless struggle between faith and fear—two forces that shape our thoughts, emotions, and actions more than we often realize.

From global uncertainty to deeply personal battles—health scares, financial strain, strained relationships, and unexpected losses—fear can feel like an unshakable companion. But the Bible calls us to something radically different: "Do not fear, for I am with you" (Isaiah 41:10). Faith is more than blind optimism; it’s a deeply rooted confidence in God’s presence, character, and promises.

Join Dr. Tim Jennings and the Designed 4 More team as they dive into the science, Scripture, and practical tools for overcoming fear and cultivating a faith that stands firm, even when the ground beneath you feels shaky. We explore what happens in the brain when fear takes over, how faith rewires your thinking, and how you can train your mind and spirit to respond with trust rather than panic.

We’ll also tackle common misconceptions—like whether having fear means you don’t have faith—and discuss the healthy role fear can play when paired with discernment. Through real-life examples, biblical truth, and cutting-edge neuroscience, you’ll gain a fresh perspective on how to face uncertainty with courage.

You’ll hear stories of people who faced life-altering circumstances but chose to step forward in faith, transforming fear into an opportunity for growth, intimacy with God, and unshakable hope. Whether you’re in the middle of a storm right now or simply want to strengthen your spiritual resilience for the future, this conversation will equip you with practical strategies and a renewed understanding of God’s heart for you.
