Welcome! This Christian blog helps readers have courageous faith. Discover how to face fear, live with purpose, and grow in holiness.

“Be brave.” “Do it afraid.” If you’re like me, these phrases fail to come to your aid when fear paralyzes you. We have one big unanswered question—how? How do we do it afraid? 

The answer lies in learning what it means to fear God. Fearing God equals trusting God. My posts offer tangible and practical help for your faith, marriage, parenting, and everyday struggles while weaving in the truth about how fearing God will gives us freedom, peace, and courage.
