Chasing Peace // Money, Sex, and Fast Cars

Whether you suffer from anxiety yourself or live alongside someone who struggles, you know the challenges. Management of our anxiety sometimes requires help outside ourselves and always requires the intervention of a loving and all-knowing God. Jesus himself comes to us as a companion in anxiety, keeping company with us in everything that’s hard as we wait for shades of light to break through.

What Does the Bible Say About Anxiety?

Fear can pervade every aspect of the entrepreneurial journey. Fear that the idea won’t work. Fear that the funds won’t come in. Fear that the sales won’t go through. But what’s stronger than fear? What’s something that you can turn to when fear surrounds you? The answer is faith.

Faith > Fear

Have you ever stopped and wondered, "God, how do I know if this is You?" You are not the only one.

Faith says, “I can do all things.” Fear says, “What will they think of me?” Faith and fear are opposites—it is impossible for faith and fear to coexist equally in your life. These devotionals take you inside the stories of modern-day and biblical heroes who chose to fear God instead of people. It’s my prayer that they will embolden you to step out in faith today. 

No Fear: Standing Firm In Your Faith

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.

Discipleship Against Fear

Have you ever encountered a surprise along the way that you didn’t plan for?  The theme of these guided audio meditations is flexibility. Contemplating the perpetual presence of God and submitting to His plans as you walk through your day, allowing God to work through chance moments, expecting to encounter God spontaneously, and consenting to His plans.  Discovering tranquility as you submit to God’s view of who you are. 

Allowing God To Work

Frederick Buechner once wrote that "the place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet."  Where your talents and the needs of the world cross, there lies your purpose and path to God.  These guided audio meditations will help you reflect on following the highest path, denying yourself, setting aside selfish interests, and marking yourself as a follower of Christ.
