In this episode of Faith Over Fear, Carol sits down with pastor and author Robert J. Morgan to discuss his newest release, God Hasn’t Forgotten You. Together, we explore how God uses our past to shape us, how to find courage when His providence feels slow, and why delays and disappointments may be God’s way of preparing us for what’s next. Morgan shares biblical examples, such as those of Zechariah and Elizabeth, as well as practical ways to break free from fear’s grip, and offers encouragement for those who feel sidelined or irrelevant. Listeners will walk away with renewed confidence that God governs every detail of their story—and that He hasn’t forgotten them. Resource referenced: God Hasn't Forgotten You: 24 Remarkable Ways God Is Working in You and Through You by Robert J. Morgan Discussion/Reflective Questions: When you think about your past, are there areas where you’ve allowed regret or shame to imprison you rather than letting Christ use those experiences to develop you? What does it look like for you to trust God’s providence at “the day-to-day speed” when His timing feels painfully slow? How can being honest about your spiritual struggles (with yourself, God, or trusted friends) help weaken fear’s grip in your life? Zechariah and Elizabeth waited for years without answers—how might their story encourage you in a season of delay or disappointment? Where do you most struggle with fear of irrelevance—age, missed opportunities, or comparison—and how might God be preparing you for usefulness even now? What is one small, practical step you could take this week to live as though God truly hasn’t forgotten you? Connect with Robert J.

Life is too short and God has too much for us to do for any of us to live enslaved. Jesus promised His followers would experience filled to overflowing life, a life characterized by joy, peace, and spiritual and emotional vitality. And yet, we daily make decisions based on fear, not faith. In Faith Over Fear, author and speaker Jennifer Slattery helps us see different areas of life where fear has a foothold, and how our identity as children of God can help us move from fear to faithful, bold living.
This podcast covers topics like:
⭐️ How to Overcome Fear⭐️ Biblical Strategies for Overcoming Fear and Anxiety⭐️ Powerful Steps to Fight Anxiety⭐️ Finding God Faithful in Hard Seasons⭐️ Courage to Wait on God
Jesus has more planned for us than we could imagine and He’s fully committed to perfecting that which concerns us. Fear holds us back, but His perfect love has the power to cast out all fear!
