Summary
Author J.R.R. Tolkien once wrote, “A man that flies from his fear may find that he only has taken a shortcut to meet it.” In this message, Chip will help us confront this intimidating emotion as he continues his series, Experiencing God’s Presence. Learn from Psalm 46 what we, as Jesus' followers, can do to stand our ground when feelings of fear come.
