“Be brave.” “Do it afraid.” If you’re like me, these phrases fail to come to your aid when fear paralyzes you. We have one big unanswered question—how? How do we do it, afraid?
My posts offer tangible and practical help for your faith, marriage, parenting, and everyday struggles while weaving in the truth about how fearing God gives us freedom, peace, and courage.
Freedom from unhealthy fear
How do you face fear when you’re afraid? Find the courage you’ve been longing for by learning to fear God. Godly fear draws us into the open arms of Jesus where we will find freedom from unhealthy fear.
- Fear of Man
- Fear of Death/Accidents
- Fear of Broken Dreams
- Specific Phobias
