Fearing God doesn't push you away from Him. It's what pulls you toward Him. Ep 167
About this episode
You were told to fear God. You were also told to love Him. And if you're honest, you never really understood how both could be true at the same time.
Kirk sits down with his son James to unpack one of the most misunderstood commands in Scripture. James spent years brushing past the "fear God" stuff and leaning into the love, assuming the fear part was just... complicated. But the more he dug in, the more he realized he had it all wrong.
They trace the difference between the fear of a slave dreading a tyrant and the fear a child has for a good and powerful father. One pushes you away. The other pulls you closer. That distinction changes everything.
The man who fears God fears nothing else. The man who doesn't? He fears everything.
