Do you long to step out in faith but often feel that fear holds you back? This week, we welcome Dan Randall to help us get to the root of our fears. What do we do when they rise up? What resources do we have as Christians to grow in this area – building greater resilience and courage? This is an honest and helpful chat that we pray will lift your eyes to how God can use you to be salt and light, even when fears rise.
