Bestselling author, speaker, and co-founder of Messenger International, John Bevere has spent decades calling believers to deeper intimacy with God through reverence and obedience. In this episode, John unpacks what it means to have a healthy fear of God—not a fear that drives us away, but one that draws us closer in awe, respect, and devotion.

Listen in as he explains why a proper understanding of this biblical concept is crucial for a thriving faith and how it unlocks deeper wisdom, boldness, and blessing in our lives.
