There are many things that can intimidate us. Some of us may not want to admit it but our actions often come from fear. Being too busy can be a sign of fear. We are afraid that if we stop, we might lose an opportunity. Others are afraid of rejection so we don't talk about our faith anymore. Also, we are afraid of being known or being judged, so we refuse to join a Christian community. There are many other manifestations. But we don't have to be afraid. We can be courageous.
