  Welcome to Real Talk for Real Life.

  Realizing everyone is always learning and living your full experience.
• 0:11
  This is where we live out loud, on purpose, and with purpose.
• 0:15
  I'm Coach C, your host, and this is Season 1, Episode 9, Flip the Fear.
• 0:23
  You know, fear is funny. It does not always come in the form of screaming panic.
• 0:29
  Sometimes fear looks real polished. It looks like procrastination.
• 0:34
  It looks like waiting for the perfect time.
• 0:37
  It looks like playing small so you do not have to risk rejection,
• 0:42
  disappointment, or failure.
• 0:44
  And let's be real, fear can make you talk yourself out of the very thing you prayed for.
• 0:50
  You ask God for elevation, then get scared when opportunity knocks.
• 0:55
  You ask for healing, then panic when growth requires change.
• 1:00
  You ask for more, then fear starts whispering, what if you lose what you already have?
• 1:07
  But here's what I came to say.
• 1:09
  Fear is a feeling, not a forecast.
• 1:13
  Just because you feel fear does not mean you're on the wrong path.
• 1:19
  Sometimes fear shows up because you are standing at the edge of a breakthrough.
• 1:25
  Sometimes fear is the tension between who you used to be and who you are becoming.
• 1:31
  And that tension, that does not mean stop.
• 1:35
  That means stretch.
• 1:37
  See, a lot of us have been taught to avoid fear, to back up when it gets uncomfortable.
• 1:43
  To choose safe over purpose, to choose familiar over faith.
• 1:50
  But I'm learning that fearless does not mean you never feel fear.
• 1:55
  It means fear no longer gets to drive.
• 2:00
  Let me say that again. Being fearless does not mean you never feel fear.
• 2:07
  It means fear no longer gets to drive.
• 2:10
  You can sit in the car if you want fear, but you will not touch the steering
• 2:15
  wheel Because every time fear tells you, what if it doesn't work,
• 2:20
  you have to learn how to flip it and say,
• 2:23
  what if it does Every time fear says,
• 2:27
  you're not enough, flip it, I am growing into everything I need to be,
• 2:33
  Every time fear says, they're going to judge you, flip it. They were going to
• 2:38
  talk anyway, so I might as well live.
• 2:41
  Every time fear says, you failed before, flip it. And I survived before too.
• 2:48
  That's the flip. You do not deny the fear.
• 2:52
  You answer it. You confront it. You challenge it.
• 2:56
  You make it stand in the corner while faith, discipline, and obedience take over the room.
• 3:01
  Because if you keep bowing to fear, you will stay in rooms you have outgrown,
• 3:07
  relationships that drain you, habits that stunt you, and cycles that keep introducing
• 3:13
  you to a smaller version of yourself.
• 3:15
  You don't need more confirmation.
• 3:17
  You need more courage. You already know what you need to do.
• 3:21
  You already know what God said.
• 3:24
  You already know what no longer fits.
• 3:26
  You already know what needs to be started, it, ended, submitted,
• 3:31
  lodged, healed, or released.
• 3:34
  The issue is not clarity. The issue is fear. So flip it.
• 3:39
  Because on the other side of fear is the life you keep saying you want.
• 3:45
  So here is your reminder today. You do not have to feel completely confident to move.
• 3:51
  You do not have to have every answer to begin. You do not have to be unafraid to obey.
• 3:57
  You just have to stop making fear your leader.
• 4:01
  Listen, fear may have knocked, but it does not live here anymore.
• 4:06
  Now here's your fearless homework. It's called Flip the Script.
• 4:11
  I want you to write down one thing you've been avoiding because of fear.
• 4:16
  Then answer these three questions.
• 4:19
  One, what is fear saying to me? Two, what is faith saying to me?
• 4:26
  Three, what action can I take this week anyway?
• 4:30
  Then make one bold move. Send the email, post the content, have the conversation,
• 4:38
  complete that application, make the plan or let it go if you need to.
• 4:43
  No giant leap require just one intentional move that proves fear is losing its grip.
• 4:51
  This is Real Talk where we're realizing everyone is always learning and living your full experience.
• 4:59
  This is Coach C. I'll see you in the next one.
