Facing Fear is a new podcast that provides a space for people to share a fear or fears they have faced in their lives. We all face varying degrees of fear in order to grow and become someone better. In his years of being a therapist, Ben H. Smith has met many people who have experienced fear. It’s a vital part of life and hopefully as we go through this journey, you’ll understand a little more about the fear in your life. Each person who joins this podcast has a powerful story of courage and has faced and overcome fear in their lives. 

As you listen to the stories shared, a stirring may occur in you that will invite you to face your own fears and make some difficult decisions about your own life. An adapted version of the Serenity Prayer offers perspective: “God grant the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, courage to change the one I can, and wisdom to know it’s me.”

“I must not fear

Fear is the mind-killer

Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration

I will face my fear

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone passed

I will turn the inner eye to see its path

Where the fear has gone

There will be nothing

I will remain."

--Frank Herbert, Dune
