In episode two of the Preach It Sister podcast, host Ashley Forsberg dives into two powerful ingredients that can leave us stuck and stagnant in our walk with God—doubt and fear. Drawing from personal experience, Ashley candidly shares how these emotions have crippled her own journey of faith and obedience, often keeping her from stepping into God’s call. Yet, her message isn't one of condemnation but rather an invitation to reshape our perspective.
Using a baking metaphor, Ashley likens doubt and fear to adding salt when the recipe calls for sugar—seemingly small mistakes that can derail the whole process. She explains how, just like salt and fear, these emotions aren’t inherently bad; in the right amounts, they can serve a purpose. However, when we allow doubt to take over, it leads to disobedience, and when fear dominates, it can paralyze us from stepping into God’s mission.
Ashley brings biblical wisdom into the conversation by unpacking 1 John 4:7-21, which beautifully illustrates how God’s love drives out fear. She explores how our relationship with God, much like mastering a recipe from a cookbook, becomes stronger when we know and trust His love. The more we abide in His love, the less room there is for fear to take hold.
Through scripture, reflection, and real-life stories, this episode challenges listeners to step out of doubt and fear and into trust and obedience, knowing that God’s love makes us complete. Tune in to discover how reframing these emotions can transform your faith journey, one step at a time.
