Are you trying to love God… or letting Him love you?
What if fear isn't something you overcome by effort?
In this message, I tackle the lie many Christians carry: that fear is normal, that God is distant, and that courage comes from trying harder instead of trusting God's love.
Scripture says something drastically different: perfect love casts out fear. Not later, not eventually, not if you do everything right—now.
This is about a reality so solid it slams the door on fear because there's no room left for it.
Check this out and discover how God's perfect love drives out fear.
