FAITH OVER FEAR with Riley Tejcek | Episode 461

Описание: LET’S GO!! This week's episode of the IMPACT SHOW Podcast is a powerful reminder that fear may show up many times in one’s life--but faith always gets the final word. Episode 461 features one of the most courageous, faith-filled young leaders I know and I could not be more
honored to bring you this conversation with Riley Tejcek.

Riley was actually one of my guest speakers at my Annual Mountain Retreat in Whitefish, MT, in November and she blew the doors off the 110- people in the room with a jaw-dropping “Faith over Fear” talk. And today, you are going to get the opportunity to tune into part of her keynote.

Before we dive in, let me properly introduce Riley Tejcek. Riley is a U.S. Marine Corps Captain, former Division I softball player, Female Fitness Marine of the Year, and a U.S. National Team bobsled athlete who competed at the highest level in the world--often on tracks where one
mistake could cost you everything. Riley has served our country with honor, represented Team USA on the global stage, and self-funded her Olympic pursuit through sheer grit, faith, and obedience to God’s calling.

Riley is also a children’s book author, an in-demand speaker, and currently traveling the country recruiting and mentoring young leaders — especially women--to step into service, leadership, and God-sized purpose. And while the accolades are impressive, what makes Riley truly special is her willingness to talk openly about fear, failure, heartbreak, and the deep faith that carried her through it all.

This episode is raw. It’s real. And it’s exactly what so many people (of ALL ages) need right now.

WHAT YOU’LL HEAR in this “FAITH OVER FEAR” episode:
• Faith Doesn’t Eliminate Fear — It Overcomes It: Riley shares why fear is real, unavoidable, and loud — but faith is stronger when you choose to trust God anyway.
• Calling Out Fear Breaks Its Power: The fears we hide have the most control. Riley explains why naming fear out loud — to God and to trusted people — is the first step toward freedom.

• Failure Is Not Final When Faith Leads
From public crashes on national TV to deeply personal setbacks, Riley reveals how faith carried her through moments that could’ve ended her journey.
• Feed Faith Daily
What you consume matters. What you focus on grows. Riley challenges us to ask: are you feeding fear… or feeding faith?
• Do Hard Things with Faith at the Center
Comfort never produces calling. Growth comes when you step into discomfort trusting God to meet you there.
• Keep Moving Forward — Even in the Valley
Faith sometimes looks like one small step at a time. Riley shares how obedience in the smallest moments leads to breakthrough.
• Stop Playing Small — God Didn’t Create You That Way
You were made on purpose, for a purpose. Faith requires action — and it’s time to step up.

If you’ve been battling fear, doubt, uncertainty, or hesitation — this conversation will remind you who you are, whose you are, and what you’re called to do. Remember: Faith over fear. Always.
