Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast

Peace on Earth - Fear Not, God Can Do Miracles, Part 1

Listen Later

Fear is a powerful emotion that often eclipses our hope and joy. In this program, Chip explains how we can experience God’s peace that transcends our circumstances by studying the angel Gabriel’s conversation with a Hebrew teenage girl. Hear how Mary’s faith—despite her doubts, fears, and anxieties—set her up to be used supernaturally by God.
