In this episode of Come.Union, we’re diving into a phrase that’s often misunderstood in Christian spaces: the “Fear of God.”

Is it about punishment? Control? Living in terror of messing up?

Or… is there something deeper and more beautiful?

We explore how the biblical concept of fear is less about being afraid and more about reverence, awe, and respect. Through honest conversation, personal stories, and scriptural insights, we challenge the fear-based theology many of us inherited and offer a fresh perspective of God—not as a distant authoritarian, but as a loving protector.

In this episode, we talk about:

* Why “fearing God” doesn’t mean living in shame

* What the Bible actually says about fear and reverence

* How we’ve been unlearning fear-based religion

* What it looks like to build a relationship with God rooted in love and trust

If you’ve ever felt afraid of God—or unsure how to relate to Him beyond rules and fear—this conversation is for you.
