If you like it and want to listen to more episodes, just search "Faith Over Fear" in your favorite podcast app, or click on any of the links below!
Scripture assures us that God does not want us to live enslaved to fear, weighed down by stress, and overpowered by personal weakness. Christ promised us joy, peace, and inexpressible freedom. He also promised to give us the power to experience each of those supernatural gifts.
In this special episode of Faith Over Fear, prolific speaker Max Lucado shares a time when, attempting to carry his ministry in his own strength, the burden became nearly crippling and how he found fresh hope and strength through the Holy Spirit.

When I first started talking about this topic, I didn't have social media or a platform... but I knew God wanted me to talk about father wounds and how to heal from hurt and trauma from childhood and even adulthood. I could never have known how God would use this in my life. If you are struggling with father wounds, I hope this podcast and my other resources bless you.

Assumptions:
1. Good things should only happen to good people, and bad things should only happen to bad people.
2. We have a common understanding with God of who is good and bad.
3. Things that are bad can never result in a good outcome.
By exploring these assumptions, we can come to a right view of God’s goodness.

There is something so comforting about the fact that we do not have to wait to commune with God. He is always accessible to us, always ready to listen to us. All we have to do is quiet ourselves and talk to him exactly as we are. He is not too busy, not too important and not too preoccupied to stop and commune with us.
Even our best friends and closest family members can’t be there for us the way God can. This is especially true when our fathers were inaccessible or completely absent. Maybe the lesson you took from that was that you had yourself to depend on. But God is there for you and you can always, always depend on him.
We’ll take a closer look at this principle in the story of Joshua 10.

God wants us to honor our fathers and mothers. But how can we do that, why should we do that, when we have deep, painful father wounds? And yet, we know the Christian way means loving those even who hurt us. Forgiveness and prayer, though hard, are still doable.
In this episode, Kia walks through what God’s Word says about loving our fathers and how we can pursue the most excellent way, even with someone who has left us wounded.
Kia Stephens is a wife and homeschooling mom of two who is passionate about encouraging the hearts of women. For this reason, she created The Father Swap Blog to help women exchange their father wounds for the love of God the Father. Kia is also the founder of Entrusted Women, which she created to equip Christian women communicators of color.

1. You can’t look to your husband to fill the void for affirmation that your father left you.
2. You must forgive your dad, or it will impact your marriage relationship.
3. You must look at God to meet your needs, not your husband.
Kia unpacks these key truths in this episode, and explains how bringing these needs to God is the first step to freeing your husband (or your future husband) from your father wounds.
