Today on Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram.

Have you ever felt paralyzed by fear?

I mean, there's something you know you want to do. You know God wants you to do it,

but you're just afraid. I mean, you're just afraid. And because you're afraid, you don't do it.

How do you overcome that fear? That's today on Living on the Edge. Stay with me.

I'm Dave Drouy, and today on Living on the Edge, Chip Ingram opens Acts Chapter

They saw him through the eyes of his need and the resources of God,

and he acted on that good impulse, and he speaks,

and he takes this big step of faith,

and he reaches down, and as he reach and pulled the man,
