Recently, I began teaching my 7-year-old daughter how to ride a two-wheel bike.  She was extremely excited to ride a bike like her big sissy; however, somewhat cautious about letting go of the training wheels.

In part one of this sermon from Ron Pyle, professor at Whitworth University, he explained why as Christians, we don’t need to live in fear. Ron begins part two by giving examples from Scripture in which God overcomes fear with His presence.  

The past year has been one of sadness in many ways. Tragedy happened throughout the Northwest, the nation, and the world, and fear is the word – in news articles, social media, and people’s lives.

Fear holds us back, from hope, from freedom, from love. The men and women going through UGM LIFE Recovery often experience fear along their journey – fear of insufficiency, of not having what it takes. But they choose not to be held back by their fear.
