What if I fail? What if I get hurt? What if I let someone down? In this episode, we talk about lessons from by baseball, missionary goodbyes, and everyday life: when fear starts telling stories, it's time to come back to the facts. Using a simple framework called FACTS, you'll learn how to recognize what you're feeling, reconnect with what you know to be true, identify your support system, and take the next small step forward, even when fear is along for the ride. Whether you're facing a difficult conversation, a big decision, a challenge at work, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's uncertainties, this episode will give you a practical tool to help you break the fear spiral and move forward with greater confidence and peace. State the FACTS! F \u2014 Feeling What am I feeling? A \u2014 Area Where do I feel it in my body? C \u2014 Certain What do I know for certain right now? T \u2014 Team Who is on my team? S \u2014 Small Step What is the next small step I can take? Remember: courage isn't the absence of fear. Courage is knowing the facts and stepping forward anyway.
