“The Bible says to 'fear not,' but this doesn't mean you should never feel scared. It means when you do feel fear, keep going forward and do what you are supposed to do. Or as I like to say, do it afraid.”

Meaning

This reads as a practical redefinition of courage. It can be taken to mean that fear is not a failure, the point is to act anyway and keep moving toward duty or purpose. The line lands in a hard conversation, a scary decision, or any moment when someone needs permission to proceed without waiting to feel fearless.
