Should I Be Afraid of God? What the Fear of the Lord Really Means
Do you ever feel like you have to “get it together” before you can come to God?
When you picture God looking at you… does He feel safe—or slightly disappointed?
Have you been quietly carrying a fear of God that feels more like dread than peace?
In this episode, I’m breaking down what the fear of the Lord actually means in Scripture—so you can stop asking, “Should I be afraid of God?” and start experiencing real peace, trust, and connection with God.
We’re talking about the subtle, often unspoken fear many women carry in their faith—the belief that God is conditional, distant, or keeping score. And we’re calling it what it is: not truth, but a wound.
