DCPP 9: I'm afraid to build my Domestic Church too!

The process of creating the Domestic Church Project Bootcamp has forced us to really analyze our own experience. We thought really hard about the major thing we felt just before diving into this work. And that major feeling was fear.

Here are just a few of the fears we experienced:

1. The fear that if I try I might fail.

2. The fear that if I invest in my faith, I might have to confront my own sins and failure to trust.

3. The fear that I might not be enough for my family.

4. The fear that God doesn’t have a plan for my family.

5. The fear that radically trusting God will mean I am taken down a plan I don’t want to go.

I know that when we hear someone else say all of these fears aloud it is easy to identify them as lies. Of course God has a plan for your family! Of course you are enough for your family!

But….in the quiet, secret places of our heart, it is hard to hear the lie. It is hard to know that these lies come from Satan, the Father of lies, and they aren’t reality.

And so, in this episode we talked through all the ways fear was part (and still is part) of building a Domestic Church.

Of course, we don’t let fear stop us! Through God’s grace we can be liberated from Satan’s lies and we can know the Truth. There, if you too are struggling with fear as you stand upon the brink of building your Domestic Church, please know that you aren’t alone. We are there with you. Also, this is BIG, Important work! It only makes sense that Satan would try to throw some roadblocks in your way. The LAST thing he wants you to do is to build your Domestic Church.

But we can do this, together.

Our app will be live on January 1st, and we will be welcoming parents into the app through January 6th. If you would like a blueprint for building your Domestic Church and a community of parents engaged in the same work, I pray you join us!
