    When Fear Knocks, Let Faith Answer

    In this episode of the Higher Leading Podcast, host Jay Meyer delivers a powerful Chalk Talk on one of the most persistent obstacles in life and leadership: fear. Drawing from his 2026 Lenten writing series on EagleLaunch, Jay explores the many ways fear quietly shapes our decisions—fear of losing control, financial insecurity, the unknown, change, rejection, aging, and the future. Through personal stories, leadership insights, and biblical wisdom, he unpacks how fear often disguises itself as caution or responsibility while quietly holding us back from the life God calls us to live. Recorded at Serenity Acres near Covington, Ohio, this episode blends reflection, Faith, and practical guidance for confronting fear in everyday life. Jay shares lessons from recovery, career transitions, family challenges, and decades of leadership experience to show how courage is not found in dramatic moments, but in daily acts of Faith and obedience. If fear has been holding you back—from purpose, leadership, or peace—this conversation will help you begin loosening its grip, one day at a time. Topics Covered Fear of losing control and the power of surrenderFinancial insecurity and trusting God as ProviderNavigating the unknown with Faith and actionThe courage required for changeIdentity beyond titles and positionsAging with purpose and finishing strongTrusting God with an uncertain futureThis episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and strengthen the daily habits of Faith that gradually replace fear with courage. Fear may knock, but when it's answered with Faith, it loses its power.

    49: Taking a Walk and Solidifying Your Path

    Sometimes the best way to hear God’s voice is to lace up your shoes and start walking.  Recently, I set out on a 6-hour Via Nova walk—Via Nova meaning “new path” or “new way.”  Each hour, I walked and paused to journal what I was hearing from God.  I asked Him to speak not only about my future but also about my past journey—the lessons, the blessings, my family, and the people who’ve shaped me along the way.  Each hour, I paused to journal what the Good Lord was telling me.  During the last third of the walk, I asked God what He wanted from me in the next 18 months. The answer wasn’t a dramatic new assignment, which surprised me—it was simple: keep going...stay faithful to my purpose and what I stand for, while keeping the main things the main things.  That Via Nova walk reminded me how powerful it is to pause, reflect, and let God ground, focus, and inspire your heart. Because sometimes the best new path forward is simply walking the one He’s already placed beneath your feet.
