When Did We Stop Fearing God? | The Forgotten Truth in Modern Christianity

Why does the Bible say “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”—yet the fear of God is rarely talked about in modern Christianity?

In this episode of the Behind the Mike Podcast, Mike Stone explores the biblical meaning of the fear of the Lord, why this foundational truth has faded from many churches, and what happens to faith and culture when reverence for God disappears.

Through scripture, historical examples, and practical insight, this message examines the tension between God’s holiness and God’s love and why rediscovering the fear of the Lord may be essential for spiritual renewal.

Topics explored in this video:
• What the fear of the Lord actually means
• Why modern culture resists the idea of fearing God
• How losing the fear of God affects the church
• Biblical examples of encountering the holiness of God
• Why reverence for God leads to wisdom and transformation

If you’re seeking a deeper understanding of scripture and a stronger foundation for your faith, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
