  • This Bible Verse Will Change How You Handle Fear

    There’s a simple truth from God’s Word that can break the grip of fear—forever. I know this because I’ve faced the kind of fear that keeps you up at night, staring at the ceiling, wondering if you’re about to lose everything you’ve worked for.

    ▶️ LISTEN AND SHARE

    For me, it was the fear of not having the money to pay our mortgage—to keep the very land we believed God called us to use for His glory. Nearly 25 years ago, we bought our home on 4 acres and named it Still Waters Ranch. Just as we were ready to give up on our God-sized dream, the Holy Spirit inspired our daughter to launch a charitable garden to feed our community. We wanted to support her, but the bills were piling up and the numbers didn’t add up.

    Maybe you’ve been there too—feeling that anxious knot in your stomach, wondering how you’ll make it through the month. Fear whispers, “You’re going to lose it all. God’s not coming through for you.” Sound familiar? Then stay with me!

    🔍 In this video, you’ll discover:

    What 2 Timothy 1:7 really says about fear

    What God gives us instead of fear

    A 3-step formula to overcome fear that you can use today

    Let’s declare together: The Spirit of God is stronger than the spirit of fear.
