When fear takes over | Ep. 6

[@rebeccawhittle6865]

I listened to a documentary/KZbin video about an Amish community. They choose not to listen to the news because it causes stress in their lives and they have no power to change the situation. If they can make a difference, then they’ll help, but otherwise they don’t focus on it except to pray. I like that perspective. Know what to pray about, but don’t get so consumed you’re stressed out about something you can’t change.

[@lindyloowho7]

God is on control! I am careful what I watch on news, social media, etc. Most of it is lies. If more would concentrate on reading the Bible, they would be in a better place. Keep your eyes focused on the Lord!

[@leslielousma7913]

I can’t watch the news because my anxiety goes through the roof. I know what’s going on and I don’t need to hear/see it 24/7.

[@117Pinkyflower]

@@leslielousma7913I rarely watch the news. Not because of anxiety but because it’s to political. Even when it’s not in political season. People are nuts. I only watch if something important is going on in the world that I think is worthy of my time and attention. I also have anxiety attacks. Now I choose what I watch or read on the internet. Now we have choices. Before we didn’t.

[@karenberhow7483]

In 1917 my grandmother was a 12-year-old child and the oldest child in her family. The entire family became sick with the Spanish flu. They were of the LDS faith. But they were the only ones in their community who practiced that religion. Some Baptist ladies in their Texas town, put their own health at risk and came into the home and took care of the entire family. My great grandmother ended up passing away and leaving her children without a mother. It was because of the loving ministry of those ladies that the father allowed the children to start attending a local Baptist church.he could see that, even though they might have slightly takes on religion, those ladies were truly the hands of Jesus and those weeks!

[@pamelac.3241]

The LDS church is a church centered on Jesus Christ and serving others. They help ALL over the world. You're misleading people with your story.

[@shanoncollier769]

I've been very sick with intestinal colitis for 2 years now. I have lost so much weight and feel badly and weak most days. I realize how much I took for granted when I had more good days than bad. I feel like I am being taught compassion but have realized that people say "let me know what I can do to help" but if I actually call on them, they are too busy. I have definitely been guilty of saying that myself. This has definitely changed the way I will respond to people in need of help. I'm like Jinger, I would rather not know anything is going to happen. I want to just be happy until something happens.

[@lyndathomason303]

I really enjoy your pod cast. I was watching the one about fear and I just wanted to say I am 76 years old and remember when I was in school we had practice drills just in case of nuclear war we were told to get under our desks . I think that fear is something that every generation has faced in one way or another. I try never to let what is going on in the world paralize me with fear. I do pray for the leaders of the world which we are told to do in the bible but I have to take one day at a time and know that God has to allow any situation for it to happen . I don't always understand but I pray and trust that my life will be what God has planned for me and in a small way my prayers will make a difference. Thank you both for your biblical content it is so needed on all social media outlets

[@Jasmineross_salon]

Please keep this type of content, I love how you guys make so many references to the Bible and it helps me understand 🙏🏼💕

[@thehamfamhomestead]

I was just reading in 1 Thessalonians 5 about the day of the Lord. It says we are to be awake but not without hope. I think there is a difference between being aware of what is going on around us and letting the fear of "what could" take over us. God's plan leads to the beautiful day when we see Jesus face to face.

[@jukes243]

I'm with Jinger. I don't need (or want) to know every single detail. Thanks, guys

[@hmr1117]

Jinger I have so loved being able to keep up with you and your siblings who still chose to share some of you lives with the public. Your show originally aired when I had just gotten married and while I didn't fully know many of the things that had come out over the years, yall seemed like a wholesome chirstian family and LOVED watching. I know yall ha e been through some crazy trials over the years and I pray for your family often. I am so thankful that with everything you have gone through you all have chosen to stay faithful to God and realized that he was not the bad one in your story. ❤️ thank you for continuing to share a piece of your family with us by doing these podcasts. ❤️God bless you and your family 🙏✝️

[@anneellison8188]

My husband and I have a similar dynamic He wants to keep me abreast of all the "doom and gloom" that's happening and I don't always want to listen. But as Jinger said, I KNOW most of the time, it's important that I know. So that I can pray, help, contribute, do what I can. I do have fear too but I don't let it paralyze me. I'm not particularly religious but I do enjoy listening to you quote your scripture and try and share thoughts and beliefs that can give some peace to some of us. I enjoyed this podcast.

[@conniephillips8217]

Oh my gosh, that was a great video!!! There.is nothing sadder than loosing someone you love knowing that they did not believe. I couldn't exist if I didn't have the Lord in my life! He has shown me that He is always with me, through good and bad! He has never forsaken me! He never has given up on us , it is us who gives up on Him! Being in my golden years, people will ask if I have ever witnessed a miracle? I am blessed and see miracles daily. I woke up this morning, the first miracle of the day. He has given this day to honor Him ! That was a great devotional today ❤❤❤

[@lindyloowho7]

I agree with you! I came to know the Lord in April 1986. Best day of my life!

[@amywells8609]

You are here proving that you don't have to exploit your children to have a successful channel. I applaud you both! And I look forward to your videos.

Congratulations to the beautiful couple…Jana made a beautiful bride

[@libbyjett3471]

Jana had the best dress and venue of all the girls so far

[@maritzaramos5201]

What a great topic of discussion. This reminder to trust God during these hard times is much needed and appreciated. As someone who deals with anxiety I remind myself of this constantly. I have a suggestion, can you please list the Bible verses you talk about in the description so we may go back to them and read? Thank you. ❤

[@DorothySpringer-e4t]

Thank you for your podcast. It is so encouraging to know no matter what we go through our Redeemer will be with us. I try not to watch too much news. I too get sucked into the negative things going on in the world. Praise God for our Savior and for our eternal home!!

[@janellward2380]

I'm with Jinger on this one!!! 👉👂👈

[@Kfrank1704]

I love your podcast, thank you so much for sharing! This is a topic that we all can relate to with all the fears of this world, but such a great reminder of the hope we have in Jesus! 🤍

[@hollysterrett104]

Hello, so glad you all are doing these podcasts.

[@vickyyarbrough1840]

I love the way you are using this platform. Enjoy hearing about your life as well. But this one brings it to real reality about fear. Thank you for helping to bring perspective with God's word to help us through every day living

[@erinl1265]

Jinger and I are very similar in that fear has always plagued us as children. I have been delivered from the spirit of fear now but I agree that we need to be careful of what we put in our brain.

[@aimeelafit23]

I really admire you and your sisters for using y’all’s fame to make a positive impact on others and I can’t imagine growing up in the public eye was easy but those skills that yall have does come from being on tv and it worked out so wonderful for you.

[@SurelyMac]

Such a good talk. Thank you. Have a beautiful blessed day

[@VickieHook]

I just watched this, and I appreciate your perspective. We live in a scary world. I do not like the news either, but finding myself getting roped in on some things, too. I am sad about all the divisions in our world. How people show such hate to anyone that does not agree with them. I pray for peace and trust in our Savior Jesus Christ.

[@virtualllyreagan]

Such a good discussion and very encouraging!! We are always being discipled by something, and if we're not careful it is easy to become discipled by the very news that feeds off of fear

[@Karinaa21]

Wow! I really needed to hear this! Thank you!! God bless you both! Please more videos like this one! It was such a blessing for my life! ❤

[@jgs1564]

I live in Orange County and I can totally relate to what Jinger said about getting roped into the local news when it comes to live police chases (which seem to be an almost weekly occurrence in So Cal) on KCAL 9 or other local news stations: I become glued to the TV and can’t stop watching.

[@lindahall9562]

I have had no cable, so no local television for several years. I have chosen to remove myself from news--while praying for those things that are to be expected in the human experience. I.E. Praying for those in authority, for the restoring of man, honoring God with my life and language. I am wise enough to choose those I hope will represent me; but, I choose to honor those elected even if they were not my choice. I find that despite the things that might cause fear that I have joy through all circumstances. It is so easy because in my 70 years I have found Him to be faithful and I trust Him.

[@SoCalJenn]

Haha Jinger. I am the exact same with car chases. I moved here from San Diego, which we hardly ever saw these chases growing up and I'm fascinated just like you.

[@lovelyholm2646]

Such an uplifting episode! Love listening to your perspective on fear.

[@hangingwithmissharris186]

KCAL news and high speed chases = time wasted. However, I have been there on the edge of my seat watching!!! I appreciate how you two use a casual approach and seem like my nextdoor neighbors….from Ventura.

[@lindadroege5564]

I lived in Anaheim in the late 80’s early 90’s. We would go to sleep with the constant sound of police helicopters flying over our area from 10 pm to 1-2:00 am. Every night! When we moved to Pennsylvania, what a difference it was to fall asleep to the sound of crickets! I’m sure you experience the same when you travel back home.

[@debracraven3207]

Congratulations to jana, I had no idea but I'm glad she has got out of the home

[@abirocks1120]

This video was amazing! Thank you for helping those of us who struggle with fear.

[@rhondamckinley4373]

When I was a little girl, we were taught to go under our desk at school in case of a nuclear attack. I had a very active imagination, and so at night, in bed, I would worry about who would take care of me if my parents died in a nuclear war. So very sad. I'm 69 and know Jesus, but I remember being that little girl and how frightened I was.

[@danahumphries4933]

This touched me to my core. god bless you. I needed to hear this

[@jamiestanley9234]

I grew up in California and I can remember vividly two chases live on tv. One was a man in a police chase heading towards Mexico and I was glued to the tv and then they found out he had a baby in the car 😱 and the police got him just before the border. The other chase was horrific. When I came in my mom was watching the news and there was a portion of the freeway was shut down. There was a man who had a shotgun and he draped over the overpass a homemade sign that said “HMO’s are only in it for the money” and then shot himself in the head on live tv! Even now at 40, I still remember those two chases. Crazy!

[@heidihinter4961]

Really loving this podcast, the honesty, vulnerability, and articulate, thoughtful discussion between a loving, respectful married couple. ❤

[@joanhurt884]

A great video! Fear can be consuming, however we have to live our life. Always turning to God first is important. Sometimes we forget but keeping Him in the forefront helps minimize fear. Yes, that includes going to the dentist for a root canal.

[@kjrussell8831]

The summer of 1964 my Dad, as a high school science teacher, he went to summer school to add up-to-date science training; so we moved to Illinois. The apt we rented had a frig but not a working stove so we used a hot plate and a big square electric frying pan for 3 months. Mom would put water in the pan and put food in glass bowls to steam vegetables and used a sauce pan on the hot plate to heat up water and instant potatoes , which I still can’t eat because it doesn’t taste the same as boiled potatoes before mashing them.

[@amycrowe8243]

We do live in such a scary world. When I'm anxious and weary, I remind myself of Acts 14:22 .. we must endure hardships and suffering in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. Those are just green flags and one step closer to Jesus!! But like Jinger said, if we're about to die, I'd rather not know it. That would be a terrifying way to spend your last few moments. I feel a bit relieved though bc the word tells us how the story ends, and I don't recall global destruction due to nuclear weapons. Humankind isn't going to end bc of anything we do. HIS wrath will be poured out, not a man with an ego trip and a 🚨 button. My pastor told us years ago.. we are eternal beings having a human experience. I've never forgotten that. Blessings💛 ps.. Jana made a beautiful bride. I'm so happy for her!!

[@CoupleMoore]

I would love to see a before & after tour when you’re ready. Please be sure to take plenty of before shots from all angles in full light so the after shots really stand out.

[@havahart123review]

Something that one of my hero’s have said is “the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives but mainly to do with the focus of our lives.” When we are scared or fearful the best thing to do is focus on Jesus and Heavenly Father. They can help us feel happy

[@joankelly9682]

Hopefully that painting on mantle is secured. If an earthquake jolts it off.... bye bye! Love your posts. God Bless you & your family!

[@Sunshine77746]

I really liked this episode. I agree, without faith in God, I don’t know how I’d get through this life either at times.

[@nancykenyon2778]

I love listening to you guys but I did not need to know that about war it's a major panic attack trigger and hard to overcome 😢😢😢

[@lisamartin1546]

Love this one! God is in control. We are told not to fear over and over again in the Bible. But, these are very scary times and it can so difficult to overcome. We have to keep our eyes on the Lord. He is our strength. Pray Pray Pray!

[@amable1234]

Hi! I grew up in the purity culture as well. This is off this topic though, but I have a friend who left the faith altogether. We were listening to a podcast you were on, but not this one. Jeremy was in essence discussing the toxicity of the faith Jinger was brought up in as it shouldn't be fear based (or something to that effect). My friend mentioned to me that you all are STILL in a toxic, fear-based faith and it can't be sugar-coated. As long as there is a belief that hell exists, a place of eternal torture and damnation, then acceptance of Jesus isn't based on His love but rather the fear of what happens if we don't. The message is that he is all forgiving...until! She told me in no other context in our earthly life would this premise for a true loving relationship be acceptable. If my daughter told me she met this amazing man and he promised all sorts of good things as long as she loved him...but then threatened if she did not...he would torture her ...any wise person would tell my daughter that is NOT love and to run for the hills. I could not disagree with her. Can you explain your stance on that? By the way, I have to admit, my now non-religious friend (15 years away from the church) is an outstanding, loving, and compassionate person (and flies in the face of what my church told me about people like her i.e. "wicked"). I can't possibly imagine her suffering for eternity in damnation for being truthful about her thoughts and living authentically.

[@LisaHatch-s2h]

Thank you for this video. It really helps me with things in my life right now. I really love all of your posts. I asked this question before but when you get your kitchen done, will you do more cooking videos?😊 I really love those 😊❤❤

[@starbursttwister4994]

Love this channel! Thank you! Topic suggestion: can you please talk about the fourth commandment? I’m confused by all the different ideas in the Christian community surrounding this commandment and how we’re to obey it. Are there certain practical ways we can discern how to remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy? Is Sunday our Sabbath? We’re a sports loving family and we’ve gone back and forth about how we can honor God by participating or not participating in sports competitions on Sunday. Y’all thoughts would be much appreciated! 💚

[@eblanco2176]

Which is the first day of the week? If you know the answer to that, then which day is the seventh? Exd 16; Exd 20:10

[@tarastreasure]

Traditionally, Saturday is Sabbath. In my language for example the name is more similar - Saturday is called sambata (written sâmbătă but harder to figure out 😅). Here the first day of the week is said to be Monday but it's Sunday in the US and other places, right? So the 7th is Saturday. I think you can go to sports on Sunday. I'm not religious though. 😅

[@Donna-F]

I totally understand being glued to a police chase! I watched one that came up in my KZbin feed for about 2 hours and later found out that it was a 2 year old video. It was fascinating because he was trapped a couple of times, but managed to keep going until he was driving on the wheel rims and set the car on fire, but he continued to try to drive until the car was in flames! I think it was a video from the LA area.

[@meganvester8819]

I had struggled with fear all my life. Not until I went through discipleship counseling and someone walked me through the scriptures and revealed the character of God and my hope in Christ was I set free. Now when the enemy serves up the fearful thoughts I remind myself of the truth of who God is and that I am safe and secure in Him no matter what may come❤

About the water, we have an RO system, and i believe the reason your sister said it isnt good, is because there's no minerals left in it. Check into Celtic grey salt. It has trace minerals. A very few grains added to a large glass of water makes all the difference.

For the first 3 years that we moved here, I had no running water except for 3 months. My ex decided in 2002 that he wanted us to move to Alaska and live in the middle of no where on a river. I told him, Well hope you enjoy living alone, IM NOT GOING AND THE BOYS ARENT EITHER. He got that idea out of his head quickly.

[@francesracine426]

Thanks Jeremy for that little nugget of info. 🤨

[@christinebuchpocza4729]

One comfort for us is knowing that God will not destroy the world through war. Jesus tells is in Matthew 24:6, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come". We therefore know that nuclear bombs will not destroy the earth. Of course that doesn't mean we won't be harmed by them, but it is a reminder that in spite of all that happens God is in control. He has promised to never leave us no matter what happens. We should be well informed, but at some point, we must "let go and let God". He has promised to never leave us.
