## Resource

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself, What's really driving my decisions? So often we think we're making choices based on wisdom or responsibility, but underneath the surface, fear may be influencing far more than we realize. Fear of failure. Fear of rejection. Fear of disappointing others. Fear of not having enough. Fear of missing God's plan. In this episode, Kristin explores a powerful insight from Peter Crone about how fear quietly shapes our lives and why we can never find peace by chasing safety through fear. Together, we'll look at what Scripture says about living from faith instead of fear and how curiosity, trust, and God's love can begin replacing anxiety as the foundation for our decisions. If you've been overthinking, feeling stuck, or carrying constant worry, this episode will help you recognize what's been driving you and show you a better way forward. Takeaways Fear often influences our choices more than we realize. Decisions rooted in fear rarely produce lasting peace. God's Word repeatedly calls us to live by faith instead of fear. Curiosity opens the door to growth, while fear keeps us stuck. Recognizing the fears beneath our actions is the first step toward freedom. We can replace fear based thinking with trust, peace, and God's truth. Living from love instead of fear changes the way we approach relationships, purpose, and everyday decisions.
