Episode 10 | The Fear of the Lord: What God Really Requires

“The fear of the Lord is not information. It is formation.” As children, many of us were taught that "fearing God" meant being afraid of Him—living in constant worry of punishment or failure. But as we grow in our Kingdom walk, we realize that the fear of the Lord isn't about being scared; it’s about being anchored. In this milestone 10th episode, Sheri Neely dives deep into the Book of Deuteronomy to uncover what God truly requires of us. Whether you are a mother, an entrepreneur, or a leader, this teaching will shift your perspective from performance-based religion to posture-based relationship.In this episode, we explore:The Difference Between Terror and Reverence: Why the fear of the Lord is something we must learn and cultivate, not just feel.Heart Posture Over Performance: Understanding why God is more moved by your "why" than your "what."The 5 Pillars of Reverence: How the fear of the Lord stabilizes you in transition, protects your identity, shapes your choices, grounds your leadership, and builds your legacy.The 10:12 Requirement: A breakdown of the four things God asks of every believer: Fear Him, Walk with Him, Love Him, and Serve Him.What you fear, you will ultimately serve. If you’re ready to stop serving the fear of people, the fear of lack, or the fear of failure, this episode will show you how to realign your life under the only reverence that sets you free.Your Kingdom Assignment: Stay tuned until the end for a practical 5-step challenge to help you walk out this reverence in your daily life.Support the showThank you for listening to Planted in Purpose — A Kingdom-Building Podcast with Sheri Neely.The 10K Vision We are on a mission for the Kingdom.
