How to Overcome the Fear of Man | WRETCHED TV Episode 2295

Segment 1:

Todd Friel introduces the idea of the “fear of man,” where people care more about others’ opinions than God’s. This fear can lead to behaviors like people-pleasing. Friel suggests overcoming this fear by focusing on God, referencing Dr. Ed Welch’s book, When People Are Big and God Is Small.

Segment 2:

Todd compares how different cultures handle problems: Americans focus on self-reliance, while Asians prioritize family. He uses this to emphasize the importance of community and support, especially in the church, to help manage the fear of man.

Segment 3:

Todd talks about the need for unity in the Christian church, referring to Psalm 133. He says that true unity, based on essential beliefs, reflects God’s nature and is crucial for honoring Him. Disagreements on non-essential matters shouldn’t cause division.

Segment 4:

Todd gives practical tips for overcoming the fear of man. He recommends reading the last chapters of Job to better understand God’s control and lessen fear of others. He also encourages seeking unity in church communities, as true unity helps overcome fear and fosters harmony.
