In this powerful Season 5 premiere of the Ask the Girls podcast, sisters Samara and Shylah sit down to talk about a topic every listener can relate to: overcoming fear with faith.

From stepping into new opportunities to facing the unknown, fear is something we all experience. But as this episode reminds us, the Bible tells us to “fear not” 365 times—a daily reminder that God’s presence and power are greater than our fears.

Overcoming Fear: Real-Life Stories of Faith in Action

Shylah shares her experience of trying a brand-new dance style and the anxiety that came with it. Co-host Cynthia Howie recalls a similar challenge she faced back in 5th grade. Both women open up about the strategies they used to push past their nerves, trust God, and find success in the face of fear.

Scriptures About Fear and Faith

This episode highlights some of the most encouraging Bible verses for fear and anxiety, including:

• Isaiah 41:10 – “Fear not, for I am with you.”

• Psalm 27:1 – “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?”

• Psalm 34:4 – “I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.”

The girls remind listeners that while it’s normal to feel nervous, faith allows us to move forward with courage and confidence.

3 Practical Ways to Overcome Fear with Faith

1. Adopt the right mindset – Preparation isn’t about knowing everything; it’s about staying open to growth.

2. Lean on your support system – Family, friends, mentors, and God can help strengthen your confidence.

3. Do your research – The more you learn about new experiences, the less intimidating they become.
