## Resource

What does it mean to fear an all-loving God? Is it just reverence and awe, or are we actually supposed to be afraid? Kaitlyn and Mike wrestle with biblical stories, common misconceptions about Greek and Hebrew word studies, and the difference between fear that drives us away from God and fear that draws us closer. They also explore how a healthy fear of God can free us from fear of people, power, and politics and why that paradox might actually be good news. 0:00 - Theme Song 3:11 - Fear as Respect? 8:23 - Power is Frightening 16:15 - Sponsor - With & For: Psychology and Spirituality for Thriving Podcast.
