Episode notes
We can all be deeply afraid and shaken by our own sins and life challenges when we are not rooted in God. No one can be fearless by their own effort but God can produce this in us when we are confident he is with us and we are being used to fulfill His purpose.
I defy the armies of Israel today! Send me a man who will fight me!” [11] When Saul and the Israelites heard this, they were terrified and deeply shaken.
1 Samuel 17:10-11 NLT
Russ, Chiara, Rhett, Mike and Amy start this three part discussion about fear and how God helps us overcome our fears by having faith and developing our character. They breakdown the different fears that take the fight out of us. We have the fears of accusation, rejection, suffering, failure, and even success. This is the start of our Fearless Series that includes articles, devotionals, videos, and of course, podcasts! Follow as we launch into our Fearless Series and develop your character along with us.
