We often let fear rule our lives, whether it’s in the form of anxiety, numbness, apprehension, or many other forms. However, it doesn’t need to. In this episode, we share why you have nothing to fear.
Today, we talk about fear. We explain the purpose of healthy fear, discuss the different things we fear, and explore what it’s like to live in fear. We discuss the link between self-consciousness and anxiety, talk about why we fear vulnerability, and note that love necessitates vulnerability. We define fear of the Lord and explain why it’s the solution to the fear problem. We discuss the different types of fear, talk about what therapy can and can’t do, and distinguish between love and fear. We also explain why you should let yourself be vulnerable, citing C.S. Lewis.
“Because of my faith, I know God is God. I know God is.”
