Hi, friend. I hope you’re doing well today. We’re in the midst of a series here on the podcast looking at occasions Jesus instructed us to not be anxious or afraid. Today we’re going to Matthew chapters 24 and 25, to the final week of Jesus’ life. He knows what awaits him, but his admonition to his disciples remains the same: Don’t be afraid.

Hi, friend. Thank you for joining me for another Encouraging Word. Today’s episode features a story found in Mark Chapter 2. Maybe you know it – it’s about a man who is unable to walk and goes to great lengths to be in the same room with Jesus. He wants to be healed. And he is, but that’s not really the point of the story.

Hello, friend. I hope you’re doing well today. We’re beginning a new series of episodes this week, tackling the topic of fear. Fear comes up a lot in the teachings of Jesus. In fact, the most common command issued by Jesus is some version of “Do not fear.” Easier said than done, right? But with God’s help, it’s possible, my friend. You can fear less tomorrow than you do today.
