🎙️ Success Epistles | The Parable of the Talents: Fear, Risk & Business Success

Is fear holding you back from stepping out in faith?

In this episode of Success Epistles, we take a fresh look at the Parable of the Talents—not from the perspective of success, but from the third servant who buried his gift out of fear.

I open up about my own experience of financial loss—how my husband and I made what we thought was a wise investment, only to see it disappear.

It left me wrestling with gratitude and grief, asking God:
"Is it enough just to be alive and grateful, or should I still want more?"

💡 In this episode, we’ll explore:
✅ The real reason the third servant was punished
✅ Why fear of failure keeps many Christians from growing financially
✅ How probability, timing, and God’s wisdom play a role in success
✅ Why even faithful Christians experience financial losses
✅ How to heal from past failures and step out again in confidence

If you’ve ever lost money in business, faced a financial setback, or feared taking risks, this episode is for you. God doesn’t just want you to succeed—He wants to heal you first.
