The Trust Trap: Fear of People vs. Trust in God | Prov 29:25

7:44

About This Video

Fear of people looks safe, but it’s a snare. In this teaching, we unpack how approval-seeking sabotages purpose, progress, and peace, and how radical trust in God becomes a leader’s true security. We’ll walk a practical workflow from Proverbs 3:5-7 (trust fully, reject self-reliance, invite God into everything, walk the straight path) and translate it into boardroom-ready moves, motivation audits, outcome surrender, reflective rhythms, strategic “let go,” and Spirit-led boldness. Trust in God is greater than fear of people, every time. Takeaways -People-pleasing is a snare; trust creates true safety. -Discern motives, approval or obedience? Adjust accordingly. -God’s straight path emerges when you acknowledge Him in everything. -“Don’t be wise in your own eyes” → choose surrender over certainty. -Speak with Spirit-led boldness, gentle ≠ silent; bold ≠ arrogant. Subscribe for weekly teachings on the spiritual side of business and life. This week, pick one decision and choose obedience over outcome. Where are you tempted to please people instead of trusting God, and what’s one step of obedience you’ll take today?
