Overcoming Fear-Thursday Youth Retreat Lesson

In this episode, Pastor Steven Perry teaches us the concept of fear, its origins, and how it can serve as both a warning and a hindrance in our lives. We explore the distinction between fear and anxiety and how fear, when used correctly, can keep us safe. Through biblical references and personal anecdotes, we discuss how God allows fear to protect us but also teaches us to discern beneficial fear from the fear that impedes our spiritual journey.

We revisit the story of Adam and Eve to understand how fear entered the world through sin and how it affects our relationship with God. The episode emphasizes that while fear is a natural response of our fallen flesh, our spirit, once born again, should be free from fear. We explore the idea that fear is not from God, as perfect love casts out fear, and how faith and love can help us overcome the fears that hinder our Christian walk.

Join us as we discuss practical ways to overcome fear through faith, prayer, and understanding God's perfect love. Whether it's the fear of stepping out in faith, sharing your testimony, or dealing with personal anxieties, this episode provides insights and encouragement to help you face your fears with confidence and trust in God's love.
