In this YouTube short, Dr. Tabatha Barber uses the classic "two wolves" parable—one wolf representing faith and the other fear—to challenge viewers to examine which inner voice they are nurturing. She emphasizes that daily, intentional nourishment of faith leads to confidence, hope, and inner peace, even amid external chaos. Barber connects this spiritual practice to concrete health goals such as weight loss, reversing Hashimoto's, and improving gut health, arguing that embodying faith transforms outcomes in the physical realm. She illustrates the principle with the biblical image of Jesus calmly sleeping on a storm‑tossed boat, underscoring that true peace is not the absence of stress but the presence of trust. The short concludes with a reflection on the power of the word "abide," urging listeners to still themselves and trust God rather than merely performing for Him.

Chapters

The grandpa says, "The one that you feed." And so are you feeding fear or are you feeding faith? I was thinking the other day about how the grandfather was telling the story to the little boy about the two wolves that live inside of your brain. There's a strong wolf who is faithful, and then there is a fear-based wolf who wants to kill everybody. The little boy says, well, which one wins? And the grandpa says, the one that you feed. And so are you feeding fear? Are you feeding faith? And that's what it comes down to. It is a daily practice of nourishing your faith and believing that what you envision is going to happen in the earthly realm. So if you want to lose weight, If you want to reverse your Hashimoto's, if you want to get control of your gut health, if you want to feel balanced and have amazing energy, you have to start living like that is the case right now. So true peace isn't the absence of stress, it's the presence of confidence, hope, and trust that steadies the conductor even when the music around you is chaos. I love envisioning Jesus sleeping on the boat with his pillow. Like, he was not freaking out. He was at peace in the storm. And that is how he's calling us to live. And unfortunately, we're panicking. Um, I read something the other day about it's easier to perform for God than it is to sit with God. That's why that word abide is so powerful, because it means to like get still and to just trust.
