ABOUT THE BOOK
Faith, according to Hebrews 11:1 is “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (NLT). And if you’re reading this and you’re a longtime Christian, or you grew up in the church, you’ve probably heard this definition before.
Or maybe you’ve picked up this book today, and you’ve walked away from the idea of the church and organized religion, but you’ve heard the word faith.
Or maybe you’ve picked up this book today, and you’ve never been to church and never known Jesus as anything more than a curse word or Jewish teacher or some guy Christians talk about all the time, but you’ve heard the word faith.
Regardless of where you come from or the ways in which you have or haven’t experienced God, the definition Hebrews gives is a great definition, especially when everything in our lives is going well.
When we’re healthy, when we’re successful, when we’re happy, and when our lives are free from struggle, pain, doubts, storms, or fear.
Fear comes into play when we anticipate or become aware of something dangerous that poses a threat to our well-being. And in some ways, fear can be a really good thing. It’s the built-in survival mechanism that keeps us from entering potentially life-threatening situations, and it helps us escape from places our bodies and minds believe to be dangerous.
But for Christians, fear can also be detrimental to the ways we experience and manifest faith if we let it linger unaddressed. If you don’t profess to being a believer, fear can also be the thing holding you back from giving your life to Jesus.
If you’re struggling to grow in your faith, this book is for you.
If you’re struggling with doubts, this book is for you.
If you’re staring down the eye of a storm, this book is for you.
If you’re struggling with fear, this book is for you.
Friends, we were made for more than just wrestling and striving and struggling.
We were made for hope and connection and faith.
And I want to help you find it. Let’s walk in faith over fear, together.
