Freedom From Fear | Lymaris LovelordHow do I squash my fears and embrace what God has made me for? This week our NextGen Director, Lymaris Lovelord, shows us that God's answer to fear has always been His presence. Our safety was never meant to be our circumstances, our control, or even our calling. Our safety is Jesus.📖 IN THIS EPISODEWe unpack why fear gets so loud when we stop feeling safe, and how God answers it again and again with "I am with you." Through the stories of David, Peter, and the race set before us, we learn how to stop chasing the calling and start following Jesus into everything He made us for.—🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS- Fear gains power when we no longer feel safe. God's answer to fear is His presence: "I am with you."- Our safety is Jesus. Not circumstances, control, opportunities, promises, or even our calling itself.- God made you on purpose. You are His workmanship, created for good works He prepared ahead of time. Then you have to go.- Trust the One who called you. Like David in the cave, we don't force the promise. We trust God to fulfill it.- Keep your eyes on Jesus. Like Peter, we step out when Jesus says "Come" and look to Him, not the wind and waves.- Pursue Jesus, not the calling. As we follow Him, He leads us into everything He created us for.—📜 SCRIPTURE REFERENCEDIsaiah 41:10Joshua 1:1-9Psalm 23:4Psalm 56:1-41 Samuel 16:1-131 Samuel 24:1-7Ephesians 2:8-10Hebrews 12:1-2Matthew 14:22-33Hebrews 13:8Matthew 28:20Revelation 22:13—💛 ONE LINE TO HOLD ONTO"Our safety is Jesus.
