Summary

Merry Christmas! As a special gift for you, today's episode is a free recording of Chapter 9 of my book Fierce Faith called "What If Things Fall Apart" ,all about the fear of the future. The fear of the future can paralyze us, leave us imagining the worst, and keep us from pursuing our God-given purpose and dreams. Today, I share a lot of my personal story with fear as my family faced illness and bankruptcy. I'll also share about the Israelites and the lessons we can take for their journey into the promised land. And, if you know me well, you KNOW there's going to be practical application as well! I'm going to give you a battle plan to fight the fear that will help you start 2020 empowered, strong, and hopeful for the future. I'm also giving away chapter one from Fierce Faith free today. Quotes from this episode: 1. The enemy of our souls want to distract us, delay us, and discourage us with fear. The enemy of our souls has always used the fear of the unknown to keep us stuck. Instead of forging forward into the Promised Land, we wander around, lost and lonely in our own wilderness. 2. We are so busy looking for the perfect set of circumstances to line up with what we think we must have, we completely miss out on what God had for us all along. 3. The enemy of our souls fights hardest when God is doing a great work in our lives. But we know that he who has overcome the world lives in us. We know that victory is his, and even though we face a battle today, the enemy will not be victorious. We fight from a place of victory because of Jesus. We don't have to fight for victory, because it is ours already! 4. God's presence doesn't mean I'm fearless; instead, it means I can fear less. 5. God wants to strengthen us to face the future. He is building each of us to be the person he created us to be. And sometimes, to reach our promised future, we have to fight to get there. If you love the message of Fierce Faith and want your own copy, you can grab one on sale on Amazon. Merry Christmas, Alli http://www.alliworthington.com/podcast/fiercefaith
