In 2 Timothy 1:1–7, Paul reminds Timothy to “fan into flame the gift of God” and not be held back by fear, because “God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” In this episode, Pastor Mark explores how these verses speak directly to the struggles we face when fear and doubt threaten to stop us from pursuing the goals God has placed before us. He teaches us how to rely on God’s Spirit, walk boldly in faith, and keep our focus on the mission He has called us to. If you’ve ever wrestled with fear or doubt, this message will encourage you to step forward with courage and confidence in Christ.

Join Pastor Mark as he dives into how to inspire others while they join you on your mutual path to progress in the Christian faith. It's a funny, but serious take on the journey we all take as Christians.
