Fear and faith cannot coexist in our hearts at the same time. – Neil Andersen, American Religious Leader
Survivors of abuse and violence may have experienced different kinds of fear that could range from mild to paralyzing. It is an unavoidable emotion that can be triggered by our experiences and circumstances. Subsequently, our fears can dictate our decisions, behaviors, and perspectives.
While it is easy to recognize faith as the other end of the spectrum opposite to fear, some people tend to overlook the fact that faith should be developed and nurtured from within. Especially for those who have been enduring the fright and horrors of abuse, it may take some time to realize how much faith it would take to pull one’s self out of that dark place, let alone have enough courage to overcome one’s fears. That is why we have to constantly remind ourselves that indeed, fear and faith cannot coexist.
In this episode, Dr. Frank Ortega – the founder of One Percent Divorce Recovery Coaching – explains how our deep desire for change can fuel our faith and motivate us to claim our right to fulfillment in life. Moreover, he distinguishes between healthy and unhealthy fears; and how we can use this knowledge to our advantage so that our pains and fears can train us in an empowering way. I am excited for you to hear more about it and I hope that my conversation with Coach Frank will enlighten and inspire you as much as it did for me!
