What’s your motivation? Do you believe that what you do today matters for eternity? How is fear playing a role in what you say “Yes” to in your life journey? Life leadership, taking care of our physical bodies, and defining moments, all these and more are questions Sarah Keller, Co-Pastor of Next Level Church, and I tackle in this episode.
Points to Listen for and Remember:  

Jesus is real, and the great commission is to share our faith with others.
Discipline vs. Self Motivation
We are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, it’s important to take care of our physical bodies.
How can trust in Jesus give us the courage to say yes to Him?
God leads and teaches us one step at a time
What is dunamis power?
The meaning of True Love
The real attack on mental health and our belief system
Dealing with deep pains of hurt, blame, and bitterness leads us to understand that forgiveness is part of God’s design and His grace towards us. 

I love how Sarah learned to overcome her fear by believing God’s word. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7, and I love how she breaks down this verse. Our feelings can hinder us, but God’s word sets us free!
Did you hear that defining moment when Sarah’s husband said, “Ok, well then, we know your lid.”? Oh my, that one got me. It’s so good. How many of you have someone who can speak the truth in a loving way that helps you become more?
Wow, one of the most impactful revelations is towards the end of our incredible conversation, when Sarah talks about the difference in forgiveness, reconciliation, and building back trust. Sarah’s truth is that being fearless is not the absence of fear, it's coming face to face with our fear and choosing to trust God! Amen! Praying this episode will encourage and inspire you to a deeper relationship with Jesus!
 I am wildly cheering you on,
