Silence Fear & Step Into Faith: Break Free from the 10 Spies Mindset with Kristin Kurtz

Have you ever felt like you're standing at the edge of your potential, your personal Promised Land, but something keeps holding you back? Today's episode unveils a powerful insight that could revolutionize your journey forward.

Delving into the biblical narrative of the twelve spies, I reveal how most of us unknowingly subscribe to the "10 Spies Network" – the fear-based messaging bombarding us daily through news, social media, well-meaning friends and family, and even our own thoughts. These voices do one thing consistently: they magnify problems while minimizing God's promises.

The difference between staying stuck in your wilderness and stepping into your Promised Land often comes down to who you're listening to. Just as Joshua and Caleb saw giants as "bread" while the other spies saw insurmountable obstacles, the perspectives you allow into your life determine whether you move forward in faith or retreat in fear. When you begin tuning into faith-based truth instead of fear-fueled noise, something remarkable happens – decisions flow from confidence rather than confusion, limitations transform into possibilities, and forward momentum replaces paralysis.

This marks the beginning of a new Tuesday Thoughts series where I'll be exploring what holds us back from our Promised Land and providing keys to break free. If you recognize you need a Joshua and Caleb voice in your corner, I'm opening space for a few free unlocking calls in the coming weeks. Visit newwingscoaching.net to book your session. It's time to tune out the lies and step boldly into what's possible for you!

I am going to be doing a new series on Tuesdays as led to share Tuesday thoughts on Hope Unlocked, and this season is actually going to be focusing around, maybe the promised land. And this season is actually going to be focusing around maybe the promised land some of the ways that we are held back at times from moving forward and how I can actually kind of help you on this journey, whether that be tuning into these Tuesday podcast episodes or even going deeper with me. So what I've noticed is that most women don't realize that they're constantly tuning into the 10 spies network. Now, if you know the story of the Israelites leaving Egypt and their wilderness journey. There were 12 spies that were sent into the promised land to check things out and 10 of them went in in fear. They saw the giants, they didn't see the promise, they didn't see what God was actually leading them into. There was two that were brave and courageous and those were Joshua and Caleb, but the 10 spies focused on the giants. Like I said, joshua and Caleb focused on the giants being their bread, being their breakfast, right. So the 10 spies network might be any fear-based messaging which can come from the news, maybe social media.

What would you say on that? I would say so. Family, friends, even your own thoughts and, of course, the enemy. These voices try to magnify the problems and they actually minimize God's promises. You need Joshua and Caleb voices in your life, people who will see the promise despite the giants.

Who you listen to actually determines if you stay stuck in fear or step forward in faith. And when you tune into faith-based truth instead of fear-based noise, you will start making decisions from confidence, clarity and divine direction. You'll begin to see possibility instead of limitation and move forward instead of shrinking back. So who's been in your ear? If you need a Joshua and Caleb in your corner, let's talk.
