Overcoming Peer Pressure, Codependency, and the Fear of Man (Podcast 566)

Do you crave people’s love and approval? Do you dread their rejection or mistreatment? Although we don’t always realize it, many of our lives—and identities—are dangerously contorted around such longings and fears. Today we are going to find healthy, biblical ways to overcome these fears.

Here are some questions we will tackle in this episode:

Why is the fear of man such an easy trap to fall into and why can it wreak so much havoc in our lives?

How can we tell the difference between being considerate and thoughtful versus living from a place where we fear man? 

What are some of the warnings in scripture about fearing man and why do you think it’s so important to heed them?

How do we know when we are living in the fear of man?

Can you define co-dependency and why can it be so tempting? How can we tell if we are co-dependent?

What biblical remedy do we have as believers that can help us live in freedom from fear of man?
