The Monsters Under the Bed: Facing Fear and Control in Life and Money

Sometimes the things that scare us most aren’t the ones that go bump in the night—they’re the fears hiding in our hearts, habits, and homes.
This week, Sherry Lynn unpacks how fear and control keep us in survival mode and how God’s truth turns on the light.She shares her own story of learning to name fear, discern what’s true and hers to carry, and walk at what Kim Avery (host of The Pace of Grace Podcast) calls the Pace of Grace.
You’ll leave with simple ways to replace panic with peace, remember God’s promises from Isaiah 43, and face what’s real with courage and hope.☕ Grab your coffee, open your Bible, and join Sherry as you learn to flip the light switch on fear and follow grace into freedom.✝️ Scripture References (ESV unless otherwise noted) •2 Timothy 1:7 — “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” •Psalm 27:1 — “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” •Isaiah 43:18-19 — “Remember not the former things… Behold, I am doing a new thing.” •1 Peter 4:10 — “As each has received a gift… as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” •Galatians 6:2-5 — “Bear one another’s burdens… for each will have to bear his own load.” •Ephesians 5:13 — “When anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible.” •2 Corinthians 10:5 — “…take every thought captive to obey Christ.” •1 Peter 5:8 — “Be sober-minded; be watchful.
