Trusting God When We're Afraid

Fear isn't altogether a  bad thing. It certainly helps our adrenaline start up when we need to take cover from a falling object or run away from an animal. However, fear can become an issue when it stops us from living in freedom and having the intimate relationship God wants with us. 

In today's episode, we chat about:

• three reasons we become afraid,
• examples of when the Israelites were fearful, and
• what we can learn from their experiences.

We at Keeping It Centered do recognize that some people suffer from clinical conditions that may make it difficult to easily stop being fearful. While the content in this episode is based on Biblical figures, we do realize some people may also need assistance from a professional counselor or therapist.
