Good sounding religious axioms arise from time to time and become the rage for many. But how many actually live by these good sounding sayings.

One of the recent often repeated religious themes is “Faith Over fear.” It’s everywhere: books, internet sermons, video shorts, and articles repeat this mantra directly or with slight variations. Whole clothing lines are lettered with it. You see plaques, trinkets, and crosses displaying these three words. Yes, “Faith Over Fear” is everywhere, especially since the pandemic, but are people living what they proclaim.
