This is a continuation of "Fighting Fear in Uncertain Times". Fear is our greatest enemy. This message continues how to apply the foundational scripture Psalms 91. Original message April 19, 2026.

There are a lot of reasons for anxiousness in the world. How do you apply the scriptures during anxious times?

What if the anxiety you feel isn't just about the headlines, but about control? In Ecclesiastes 9, we're confronted with a sobering truth, life is unpredictable, and we are not in charge. So why do we keep spinning on the wheel of “Am I getting it right?” or “When is it going to happen?” The Preacher shows us a surprising way forward, not through denial, but through surrender and enjoyment. What if fighting fear begins with trusting God's sovereignty and rediscovering joy in His ordinary gifts?Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:1-12 ESV

Episode #152 – “Fighting Fear” | Daily Dimensions Podcast In this episode of Daily Dimensions, I open up about the fears that once held me back — fear of rejection, public speaking, sharing my faith, and even going places alone. As I began to heal and grow in confidence, I started reflecting on why those fears had so much power over my life in the first place. This episode is about confronting fear honestly and learning how to move forward despite it. We talk about how living in fear only allows you to experience a fraction of your life, while confidence opens the door to living fully and freely. I also share practical tips on overcoming fear, building confidence, and stepping into the life you were created to live.

We live in a world that causes a lot of fear and anxiety? It's easy to look around and think our world is on fire! Do you struggle with this? If so, this is the podcast for you! This is the second session and will focus on spiritual tools for fighting fear, how to overcome it and give it to God! We hope this speaks to you! Feel free to let us know @ podcasts@choosinghimminitries.org Content Worksheet for this LessonSession 2: Spiritual Tools for Fighting FearIf 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!Definitions for This SessionNeuroplasticity: The ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, functions, or connections after injuries (emotional or otherwise).Key Scripture for This SessionJoshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”  Discussion Questions What was the circumstance happening in Joshua that caused the Lord to say that he needed to be strong and courageous?Take a moment and think about Joshua. How would you feel in that situation? Which spiritual practice spoke to you the most? Same question, different day: How do you feel about “even if”?Define ‘neuroplasticity” in your own words. What specific ways do you need to rewire your brain right now?

In this sermon, we dive into the powerful story of the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19, exploring how fear can overpower our lives when we fail to recognize our true identity and authority in Christ. Fear thrives in the absence of truth, and when we lack a solid foundation in God's Word, we distort reality and live in fear instead of faith. True spiritual authority comes from submission to God, not manipulation or control. By embracing our identity in Christ, surrendering our fears, and walking confidently in His power, we can overcome fear and live in freedom, knowing we are defined by His victory, not our past failures.

We have had an amazing year with powerful fear-calming insights from wise and experienced guests. In this episode, we share power clips from five of our most popular episodes: In "Finding God Faithful in Hard seasons" with Kelly Minter, we discussed the call to break patterns of generational dysfunction. Next, we heard from singer and songwriter Colton Dixon on viewing disappointments as divine set-ups, taken from the episode titled "Fighting Fear by Holding onto God's Light". Next, Bonnie Gray, host of the Breathe: Stress Less podcast provided insight on how to recognize and change our automatic response to stress. That episode was titled, "Break the Grip of Anxiety and Worry: What You Can Do to Step Stress". We then heard Pastor John Meader share about a time when he felt angry and bitter toward God, and how God brought him to a place of trust. That clip came from the episode titled "God's Not Done With you".  Last, we heard from one of the most prolific and powerful writers in our time, Max Lucado, on the story of Jacob, known as the deceiver, and how Max relates to this Old Testament biblical character. That episode was titled God Won't Give Up on You". We hope these clips encourage you as you launch into 2024 with godly confidence and hope-filled anticipation.  (Scroll down for discussion questions/reflective questions.)

In this episode of Through the Hard, we dive into the topic of control and over-functioning in parenting. It's something many of us struggle with, and it can have negative effects on our teens. I often find myself in that same place, trying to control every aspect of my teen's life, thinking it is the best way to protect them. But I'm learning that it's so important to find a balance. Our teens need some freedom to make their own choices and learn from their mistakes.That's where the concept of balanced oversight comes in. Finding that sweet spot between being too controlling and not being involved enough. Providing guidance and support without taking over their lives. Listen as we discuss seven practical tips to help you practice finding a balance between control and your own freedom. It won't happen overnight, but patience and practice can create a healthier dynamic with your teen.Resources mentioned in the podcast:Register for the 4 Principles for Fighting Fear workshop HEREArticle by Dr. Amy Johnson: Don't Make it Happen, Allow it to Happen___________________________________________________________________________About Through The Hard:"Through The Hard" is proudly presented by Pathways to Hope Network—an empathetic non-profit organization committed to providing free support and nurturing a sense of community for parents navigating the challenges of teens in crisis.Explore Additional Support:Delve into our website: Pathways to Hope Network (Subscribe for weekly encouragement)Access local and national resources: Pathways ResourcesRead insightful articles on our blog: Pathways BlogFind answers to common queries: Pathways FAQConnect with Us:Join our community on Facebook: Pathways to Hope Network FacebookStay connected on Instagram: Pathways to Hope Network InstagramFor personalized support, reach out via email: afrey.pathways@gmail.com

Day 234 Today's Reading: 1 John 4 For many years when researchers asked Americans about their top fears, here is how Americans responded: Their number 1 fear: public speaking. Their number 2: death. Think of it. People would rather die than speak in front of people. That's especially an issue for Christians because Christianity is very vocal: vocal in praise, vocal in witnessing, vocal in preaching. It's tough to be a silent Christian. Fortunately, 1 John 4 provides an antidote, a simple prescription, to fighting fear: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love" (verse 18). Perfect love casts out fear. I don't cast out fear "in the name of Jesus." I don't bind it. Fear is removed by displacement. Love removes fear. Love casts it out, not me. Fear is actually a love problem. Two explorers were on a jungle safari when suddenly a ferocious lion jumped in front of them. "Keep calm," the first explorer whispered. "Remember what we read in that book on wild animals? If you stand perfectly still and look the lion in the eye, he will turn and run." "Sure," replied his companion. "You've read the book, and I've read the book. But has the lion read the book?" Reading books and going to counseling does not seem to deal with fear when the lion is looking you right in the eye. But John says love fixes fear. When I am afraid to speak to someone about Jesus, the truth is, I don't love them. In fact, I love me and my security and what that person thinks about me more than I love that person and their future and eternity! What an indictment. The same is true when we have to correct someone. Think of it from a parent standpoint. If I refuse to correct my son or daughter, knowing their attitude or behavior is destructive, I am saying my refusal is because of fear, which is a love issue. I love being their friend more than their parent. I love keeping calm in my house. I love my peace and quiet, so I say nothing. How about worship? When the Bible instructs me to lift holy hands, and I just can't do it because I am self-conscious, isn't that fear? Fear of what others think of me? And fear is a love problem. I don't want to appear like a fanatic in front of people. So how do we face fear? I want you to think of a conversation that Jesus had with a very fearful man after His resurrection. Fear made him deny Jesus three times. His name was Peter, and the conversation was fixing fear with love. The apostle John captured the conversation in John 21:15-17: "So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?"
