Episode Title:
Fear Has a Voice—But It Is Not the Final Word

Host: Don Kelly | Faith to Freedom Lifestyle

🔥 Episode Summary:

Fear has a voice—and it’s loudest right before your breakthrough. In this episode, Don Kelly confronts the subtle, paralyzing lies of fear that keep Christian men stuck, silent, and sidelined.

Whether it disguises itself as perfectionism, procrastination, or even “spiritual caution,” fear always resists movement. But here’s the good news: fear doesn’t get the final word—God does.

If you’re tired of second-guessing your calling, delaying your obedience, or waiting to feel “ready”—this is your wake-up call to move forward, even if your knees are shaking.

📖 Key Scriptures:

• Isaiah 41:10 – “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God…”
• Romans 8:15 – “You did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear…”
• Psalm 27:1 – “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?”
• Genesis 3:11 – “Who told you that you were naked?”

🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How fear uses “spiritual language” to keep you stuck
• Why courage is not the absence of fear—but movement in spite of it
• The real reason perfectionism, control, and busyness keep you paralyzed
• How delayed obedience becomes disobedience
• Why God is more concerned with your willingness than your readiness
• How to silence the voice of fear with the truth of Scripture

💬 Quotes to Remember:

📌 Practical Takeaways:

✅ Name your fear—it loses power when exposed

🔥 Episode Summary:

We live in a culture that glorifies hustle and busyness. But as Christian men, we’re not called to grind ourselves into the ground—we’re called to live from a place of rest, not for it.

In this powerful episode, Don Kelly calls out the spiritual stronghold of hustle addiction and lays down a better way—God’s way. You’ll discover why rest isn’t laziness—it’s holiness and how reclaiming Sabbath, establishing margin, and breaking free from performance-driven living can transform your walk, your family, and your faith.

📖 Key Scriptures:

• Proverbs 23:4 – “Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist.”
• Genesis 2:2 – “And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested…”
• Exodus 20:8 – “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”
• Mark 2:27 – “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”
• Luke 5:16 – “But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.”
• Psalm 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God.”

🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why hustle culture is a counterfeit gospel
• How Sabbath is a gift, not a burden—and how to reclaim it
• 5 clear signs you’re caught in a hustle addiction
• What Jesus’ rhythms of rest reveal about real spiritual leadership
• How to trade anxiety-driven ambition for peace-filled purpose
• Practical steps to live from God’s pace—not the world’s pressure

💬 Quotes to Remember:

📌 Practical Takeaways:

✅ Reclaim the Sabbath — Rest isn’t a luxury; it’s a spiritual discipline
✅ Establish morning anchors — Start your day with stillness, not scroll
✅ Lead with margin — Leave room in your schedule for God, not just goals
✅ Pursue presence over performance — Stop performing for people and start abiding in Christ
✅ Get accountability — Don’t try to outrun burnout alone

If you're tired, wired, and worn out from trying to "earn" peace through performance—this is your invitation to stop striving and start surrendering.
