As we began to investigate all of the times in our lives that we missed out on God’s best, we were able to track it back to fear. It was fear that held us back. Fear has many causes, and also leads to many negative consequences.
Since there was so much to cover in this episode, we split it into two parts. This first part covers the CAUSES of fear. I’m sure it’s not a definitive, end-all list… but it’s a great start! (Taken from the study guide “Dealing With Life’s Pressures” by Charles Stanley)
What are the causes of fear?
Have you been able to recognize any of these causes in your own life? As we move on to find out how to overcome fear, it’s important that we first can RECOGNIZE what areas of our life are causing it.
We’d love to hear your comments on this topic…. feel free to share your fears, too!
God bless,
Jason & Heather Marshall
PS - Make sure you watch Part Two, where we talk about fear’s consequences!
