This episode features one of my mentors and friends, Betty Gutierrez, as we talk about where fear comes from and how to deal with it. We often ask "what if ____ happens?" But, that thought process is paralyzing. Betty challenges us to think from an "even if" perspective - one that puts trust in God for the peace and freedom that comes on the other side of fear. I hope you're encouraged as much as I was by Betty's wisdom about how to persevere through trials and fears. 

Here are the books/podcasts that Betty mentioned as helpful resources:

• When People Are Big and God Is Small, Overcoming Peer Pressure, Codependency, and the Fear of Man (Resources for Changing Lives) by Edward T. Welch
• Cleaning Up the Mental Mess podcast with Dr. Caroline Leaf
• SHE with Jordan Lee Dooley: “Fear is Not the Boss of You (Ft Jennifer Allwood)"
