Today, PMV turns to Joshua 1 to show how God addresses fear not by minimizing circumstances but by magnifying His promises. Joshua faced enormous responsibility, yet God repeatedly commanded him to be strong and courageous because of a foundational truth: “I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.” This episode traces how that command is echoed throughout Joshua’s leadership and reveals why doubting God’s character lies at the root of many fears. Listeners are prepared for tomorrow’s practical step—how to take specific Scriptures and apply them to real fears in everyday life.

Continuing the theme of overcoming fear, PMV walks through Mark 5 and 6, where fear shows up in surprising ways. From townspeople begging Jesus to leave after witnessing a miracle, to Jairus clinging to faith after receiving news of his daughter’s death, to the disciples trembling at the sight of Jesus walking on the water, Scripture reveals how differently people respond to fear—and what Jesus expects of us in the middle of it. This episode helps listeners identify the ways fear can cloud clarity, distort decisions, and draw us away from God’s presence rather than toward it.

In today’s devotional, we look at the moment Jesus calmed the storm in Mark 4 and what it reveals about fear, faith, and the power of God’s presence. Even seasoned fishermen panicked when the waves filled their boat, yet Jesus slept peacefully beside them. PMV shows how Christ’s presence and His word, “Let us go to the other side,” were meant to anchor their confidence far more than the storm in front of them. This episode lays the foundation for a multi-day exploration of fear and invites you to consider how God’s presence reframes the challenges you face today.
