The Unexpected Joy of Overcoming Fear
Have you ever done something that you were afraid to do and then discovered that you actually enjoyed it?
This might sound a little silly, but I was really afraid to drive. I used to be afraid to drive go-karts, golf carts, and four wheelers. I distinctly remember the first time I was in a go-kart on my own and the fear was palpable. But, then after doing it, I realized that it was so much fun! If I had given in to the fear then I would have missed out on so much.
Throughout the Scriptures there is an oft-repeated phrase, “fear not.” In this brief conversation with Jesus that phrase pops up again…
Good morning! May you choose humility in a world that demands arrogance. #MorningMug

If you are wrestling with what is happening in the world, I would like to recommend two books to you.
First, please consider reading Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman. It will provide you with some context and grounding for the culture that has grown up around the advent of the screen.Second, please consider reading The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt. It will provide you with a scaffolding to help you understand why you think the way you think and just as importantly, why other people think the way they think.
I just finished reading Jesus and the Powers by NT Wright and Michael Bird it was challenging and encouraging in all the right ways. I am going to do a little write up on it soon.
Finished reading: Jesus and the Powers by N. T. Wright 📚
Good morning! May you be able to rest today. #MorningMug
