About this listen

In this episode of Curious for Christ, we uncover the hidden danger of doubting God and holding on to control. These fears and doubts can secretly choke the Word of God in our lives, keeping us from His blessings and purpose.


What You’ll Learn:

  • How doubt and fear limit God’s work (Abraham, Moses, Joshua, David)
  • The Parable of the Sower: why heart “soil” matters (Mark 4; Luke 8)
  • Common thorns that choke God’s Word:
    1. Worries & Anxiety – Pray and release control (Philippians 4:6–7)
    2. Comparison & Discontentment – Cultivate gratitude (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
    3. Busyness & Divided Focus – Practice stillness (Psalm 46:10)
    4. Fear of Not Measuring Up – Lean on God’s grace (2 Corinthians 12:9)


Practical Steps:

  • Turn worries into prayer
  • Write three things you’re grateful for each day
  • Spend 5 minutes daily in stillness with God
  • Speak Scripture over fear and doubt


Closing Thought:

Doubt and fear are tools of the enemy, but trusting God fully sets you free. Tend your heart, cultivate your soil, and watch His promises flourish.
