116: John Morgan and How to Overcome Fear
John Morgan is an inspirational speaker and George W. Bush impersonator. John overcame decades long fear to step into a calling as a performer. Today, John shares the devastating grip fear had on him, the wilderness fear led him to, and how the Lord led him to freedom. We also talk about listening to “nudges from God” and learning the hard way to live without regret. This episode is full of laughs as John does his thing, too. John’s story will inspire you to ask “What am I allowing fear to keep me from?”
Please listen to and share John’s story!

Great quotes from John:
That day, I found the missing piece and it fit perfectly into my heart. It was a person; his name is Jesus.
When we simply take him at his word and believe him life takes on a dramatic and amazing dimension.
How do you know it’s not God?
I wrongly believed if you don’t try you can’t fail.
The way you overcome a fear is to take a step toward it.
Fear and unbelief work in tandem to keep us away from our relationship with God.
