Because Christ was broken for us, we can draw near without fear, respond to conviction without condemnation, and live fully surrendered for His glory.

As Christ-followers fear should not be part of our regular operating system. Perfect love casts out fear and leads to fearless lives of faith. In this plan we will study fear, what it does to the brain and body and learn how to break free from the fear holding us back.
