In this episode of The Christ Revival Podcast, David, Sidney, and Kyle explore the deep struggle of the fear of missing out (FOMO) and how it can make inviting others—whether to faith, community, or even simple gatherings—feel terrifying. They discuss how the fear of rejection can hold us back from sharing the Gospel and building meaningful relationships, yet how dependence on God gives us the courage to step out in faith.

Sidney unpacks biblical truths that remind us God is in control, even when we feel uncertain or afraid of being left out. Through personal stories and scriptural insights, the conversation offers encouragement to trust God’s plan, overcome the anxiety of missing out, and boldly invite others into the abundant life He offers. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion on faith, fear, and the power of surrendering to God’s will.
