The Story Behind Kristen's Fearless Living

I was inspired by the Holy Spirit to start Kristen's Fearless Living during a season of my life when I realized just how much I had allowed fear and the fear of failure to control me.

And honestly, I was tired of it!

I was tired of allowing fear to hold me back from the very things I believed God had placed on my heart. So I made a decision that I wasn't going to let fear control my life any longer.

Now, don't get me wrong. There is a healthy kind of fear that can protect us from danger or keep us from making harmful decisions. But that's not the kind of fear I'm talking about.

I'm talking about the fear that keeps us from stepping into our purpose. The fear that whispers we're not good enough, capable enough, or qualified enough. The fear of failing before we've even given ourselves the opportunity to try.

For so long, I struggled with feelings of inadequacy. I was so afraid of failing that I wouldn't even take the first step toward the dreams and desires God had placed in my heart.

But something began to change when I made the decision to step out in faith, even when I was afraid.

I began to realize that sometimes we have to walk through the very thing we're afraid of to discover what's waiting on the other side.

And sometimes, that's exactly where we find our breakthrough.

That's where I began finding mine.

I think about Peter when Jesus called him to step out of the boat and walk on the water. As long as Peter kept his eyes on Jesus, he was able to do what seemed impossible. But when he became afraid and began to sink, Jesus immediately reached out His hand and caught him.

What a beautiful reminder of God's grace!

Now, whenever I feel afraid to take a step, but I believe God is calling me to step out of the boat, I want to obey Him and keep my eyes fixed on Jesus.

And if I stumble? If I fail?

I know His gracious hand is there to lift me back up.

I'll get up, keep walking, keep learning, and continue this journey with my Savior.

That's what Kristen's Fearless Living is all about. Not living a life where fear never comes, but learning to trust God enough to keep moving forward even when it does.

My prayer is that through this little corner of the internet, you'll be encouraged to step out in faith, pursue the things God has placed on your heart, and discover what He can do when you choose to trust Him.

God bless you My Fearless Friends!

With love, Kristen
