Faith Over Fear

Increased Peace, Decreased Fear Through the Beatitudes: How Dependence on Christ Transforms Us


Listen Later

Do you long for more peace and self-control and less fear and regret as you navigate life's challenges and hardships? In this episode, we explore how the Beatitudes and Jesus’ instructions for kingdom living offer a powerful blueprint for thriving in today’s anxious and chaotic world. When we align our lives with Christ’s teachings and depend on His strength and wisdom, we experience lasting peace, greater emotional resilience, and freedom from fear. Even in seasons of deep pain or uncertainty, Jesus draws near to comfort us—then equips us comfort to others. Because of Him, we can live with the confidence that we’ve been made right with God, positioned to receive His favor, and invited to experience the blessings of His kingdom.
