    A Good Father

    A Good Father What if the greatest struggle in your faith isn't a lack of discipline... but a misunderstanding of who your Father is? In this deeply personal episode of Impact Over Influence, we explore one of the most foundational truths of the Christian life: you don't belong because of your performance—you perform differently because you belong. So many believers live like spiritual orphans, striving for approval, chasing promotion, and trying to earn what the Father has already freely given. But Jesus never operated from a place of proving Himself. He lived from the security of His relationship with the Father, saying, "The Son can do nothing by Himself; He can do only what He sees the Father doing."(John 5:19) Together we'll unpack: What it truly means to belong to the Father.The difference between an orphan mindset and a child of God.Why fear of loss, lack, and being "unclaimed" keeps us striving.How prayer shifts from asking God to bless our plans to asking, "Father, what do You want for me?"The freedom found in Matthew 7's invitation to ask, seek, and knock—knowing our Father gives good gifts.Why identity always precedes assignment, and belonging always comes before doing.If you've ever questioned your worth, felt like you had to earn God's love, or measured yourself by your accomplishments, this conversation is an invitation to come home. Because the cross didn't simply reconcile you to God—it restored you to the Father. Your identity isn't something you achieve.It's Someone you belong to. You are chosen. You are known. You are loved. You have a Good Father.

    When Fear Turns to Awe

    What if fear was never meant to control you… but to lead you somewhere deeper? In this episode of Impact Over Influence, we unpack a powerful truth: fear of the Lord isn’t something to run from—it’s something that transforms us. “I know that I know”… but do we really? Scripture warns us in 1 John not to be deceived—and yet so many of us are walking in a version of faith that’s missing the awe of God. When fear is misplaced, it produces: ➡️ Anxiety ➡️ Confusion ➡️ Control But when fear is rightly placed—in the Lord—it produces: ➡️ Wisdom (Proverbs 9:10) ➡️ Surrender ➡️ Transformation This episode dives into:     •    The difference between worldly fear vs. fear of the Lord     •    How blind spots can quietly open doors to the enemy     •    Why unity and purity matter in your walk (Psalm 139)     •    The role of the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 11:2) in shaping us into Christ     •    What it really means to be in the Potter’s hands (Jeremiah 18) You’ll hear real moments where things didn’t go as planned… rooms double booked, pressure rising… BUT GOD stepped in. Because sometimes when we don’t have it all figured out, that’s the exact moment God begins to move. 🔥 “God is making a vessel.” 🔥 “Lean into the Potter.” 🔥 “Are you waiting on God… or is He waiting on you?” This episode is a call to: ✔ Examine your heart (Psalm 19:12) ✔ Lay down pride and selfish ambition ✔ Walk in truth, humility, and repentance ✔ Sit still long enough to hear His voice Because when fear turns into awe, you don’t just believe in God… you revere Him—and everything changes.
