Faith should not require fear—but for many of us, that’s exactly how we were taught to believe. Fear of asking questions. Fear of losing community. Fear of what happens if we step outside the lines.
In this episode, I respond to a message from a reader whose concerns reveal just how deeply fear-based theology shapes belief systems. From xenophobia to LGBTQIA+ erasure to patriarchal control, fear is the foundation of a faith that demands obedience over understanding.
But fear-based faith isn’t faith at all—it’s control. And once you see it, you can begin to break free.
