FEAR seems to naturally be the DEFAULT reaction to THREATS in our lives.  FEAR has plagued our lives with its Oversized and Rude alternatives.  Just imagine your life – completely and wholly untouched by this angst called FEAR.  What if… FAITH – not FEAR – was your Reaction to these every day THREATS?  What if you had the heart and courage to face life's Hurts - Habits and Hang-ups and you actually could begin living your life FEARLESS?

"...But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it - this is commendable before God. To this you were CALLED - because Christ suffered for you - leaving you an example - that you should follow in His steps."
