Session 2: Spiritual Tools for Fighting Fear

If you haven’t watched Session 1, I encourage you to go back and listen! If you can’t, here’s a quick refresher. In our last session we talked about how fear and anxiety are unavoidable in life, but we must make sure they don’t become strongholds in our spirits. We reviewed ways to identity if our fear/anxiety has become a stronghold and touched on the phrase “even if.” Even if God chooses to not answer our prayers in the way we want, we will fear not. That’s a big one and we are going to dive into that more today!
