## Resource

Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Giftah. In this powerful episode from the Acts 12 series, we explore the profound truth that what happens to others does not determine your destiny. Drawing from Acts 12:1-5, we see how James’s death could have caused fear and despair, especially for Peter, who was arrested immediately after. Yet GOD’s sovereign plan was different for Peter, demonstrating that your story is unique and not defined by others’ outcomes. This message challenges the natural tendency to compare and assume negative outcomes based on others’ experiences—whether losing a job, facing illness, or enduring broken relationships. Instead, it offers encouragement and faith-building insight for anyone wrestling with fear, anxiety, or uncertainty about the future. Tune in to learn how to trust GOD’s timing, embrace your individual calling, and overcome fear with faith. Perfect for anyone seeking spiritual clarity, hope, and peace amidst life’s challenges.
