Fear God? Here’s why we don’t.
Fear is one of the lowest vibrations in the Universe. In fact it says, “Have no fear” in the Bible 365 times and yet there’s this idea that fearing God is necessary.
Here’s our take on this. Watch the LIVE recap.

Recently, I held a Kinesiology session with a client who had experienced profound religious trauma so deep it had become almost debilitating. Her perception of life had been shaped by the belief that God’s judgment and punishment loomed over every challenging experience, as though hardship itself was divine retribution.
She also carried a deeply ingrained belief that to be good or worthy, one had to completely deny themselves, even to the point of becoming unwell. Tending to her own needs was seen as selfish and shameful. These were just the surface layers of her trauma. At the core was the belief that God’s love was conditional, that one must constantly strive to appease Him to be worthy of His favor.
It truly saddened me to hear that these beliefs were instilled by her church community and family, those meant to be her spiritual and emotional support. I gently reminded her that God’s love is not something to be earned. It is infinite and unconditional, immeasurable in its depth and purity. Just as a mother loves her child without needing the child to prove their worth, so too does God love us. That love simply is unchanging, unwavering, and always present.
During our session, we worked through these limiting beliefs, which had profoundly restricted her ability to open her heart to herself and to the true nature of divine love. As I reminded her, Jesus never said, “Follow the churches” he said, “Follow me.” He led not with fear, but with compassion. He stood for love, for truth, for forgiveness. He once saved a woman from being stoned and said, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
God didn’t send Jesus to judge us, Jesus came to renew us, with truth and with love.
Have you ever had to unlearn beliefs that made you feel unworthy of love, whether from God, yourself, or others?
We would love to hear what that journey has looked like for you.
