Competing with Kobe, Walking with Jesus (with Mike Penberthy)

Dr. Owen Strachan talks about how fear-based religion operates on the premise of control. However, the gospel of Jesus Christ frees believers from fear-based systems. The fear of God is necessary for knowledge and wisdom, but it is not a terror of God's wrath. Christian fear is rooted in awe and reverence, not in slave-like terror.
