There’s a subtle lie many of us believe: that fear keeps us safe.
We wrap it in words like caution, logic, or “just being practical.” But if we’re honest, that kind of fear doesn’t protect us—it paralyzes us. In this episode of LIFE’S Inside Track, we open up about how fear disguised as wisdom almost cost us real opportunities—in real estate, in life, and in obedience to God.
One of the biggest myths we encounter with clients is the idea that bold decisions are reckless. But real faith isn’t blind—it’s researched, prayed over, guided by God’s Word, and walked out with wise counsel. And once you’ve done that? Delaying because of fear is no longer wisdom—it’s disobedience.
We shared a moment from our own lives—rappelling off a glacier in Alaska. Ken was anchored by ropes and ice screws, yet his fear told him they couldn’t hold. It wasn’t until he leaned back in trust that he experienced the freedom of the descent. That moment mirrors so many real estate decisions: the fear of buying your first home, of selling in a down market, of investing when the numbers are tight. And yet, some of the most breakthrough moments happen when we trust the process, the Guide, and the peace of God—even when the fear hasn’t fully disappeared.
We also told the story of a client who nearly missed the chance to own her first home because of fear—fear rooted in others’ opinions, not her own circumstances. Through prayer, clear planning, and honest conversation, she chose a condo that met her needs—and now three years later, she’s thriving.
The Bible reminds us in 2 Timothy 1:7 that “God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” A sound mind means we do the work. We research. We pray. And then we act—not recklessly, but faithfully.
Here’s the truth:
-
Fear convinces you to hold on tight.
-
Faith opens your hands to receive.
We’re not here to push you. But we may challenge you. Because we’ve lived this tension. And we know the peace that follows when you move forward—not because you’re certain of the outcome, but because you’re grounded in truth.
If you’re stuck wondering whether to take the next step—whether in real estate, relationships, career, or calling—ask yourself:
Is fear keeping me still? Or is faith inviting me forward?
You don’t have to figure it out alone. That’s what a clarity call is for.
It’s 15 minutes that could change everything.
When you’re ready to consider a faith-fueled decision, we’re here. Together, we’ve got this.
