Sister Interview: Kelly Balarie
There is a difference between the absence of fear and being “fearless”. Kelly Balarie talks to The Open Door Sisterhood Podcast about what it means to fear just a little bit less with each decision and step, how worry and anxiety are rooted in fear, and how fear prevents us from loving others well. We hear about Kelly’s journey to overcoming fear and about that one time her husband took her out to dinner and asked her what she was doing with her life. Kelly’s book Fear Fighting was featured on The Today Show when Kathy Lee Gifford chose it as one of her favorite things of 2016! (Let’s give a sisterhood cheer for that!)
Kelly says if God is love, Satan is fear. We must fight fear because it prevents us from living in God’s freedom. We spend our time worrying about what we can’t control instead of living in God’s immediate grace. In this episode we cover the difference between saying “I’m sorry” and “Will you forgive me?”, the importance of teaching our children forgiveness, and how living in grace can help us fight fear in our own heads. We also cover asking restaurants for their recipes, how a sunset top’s off any moment and the ways different translations of the Bible speak to us in fresh language.
Please join us for this interview that is in true Open Door Sisterhood spirit, part inspirational, part practical, as we tackle the topic of fear and how it can manifest itself in different ways. And you don’t want to miss the creamed corn discussion. Because who doesn’t love some creamed corn goodness?

We encourage one another to believe God. Believe who He says He is and what He promises. And then to encourage one another to live from that belief in our daily decisions. We like to say we are encouraging women to "be world changers for good right where they are.” That means believing God can use all of us regardless of our circumstances to influence the world for good.
