There are many, MANY passages in the Bible that tell us not to fear. Fear is not from God, it's from ... guess who? Get behind me Satan!

Fear can quite literally ruin our lives. Fear causes us to hoard, to hide. Fear causes us to quit. To never start. Fear causes us to go inward, to recede. Fear causes us to be over protective and by doing so, causes us to miss amazing opportunities and experiences.

That is not the kind of life God has called us to live. He can't use us through His purpose for our life when we're a mess, hiding and untrusting. Anna and Susannah talk about our most debilitating fears and God's promises that have helped us overcome them.

Fear is a choice. But in the moment, we're called to face it. Walk through it, and trust God anyway. Amen!

This week's verse we're focusing on is Joshua 10:25:

Fear not nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage.
