Monday Morning Moments with Mike Van Hoozer

Monday Morning Moments Podcast: Overcoming Fear
Have you ever experienced a challenge or difficulty in your life? A circumstance so bad you didn’t know how you were going to make it through? Fear, doubt, and deep anxiety can creep into our lives causing us to stop, stumble, and/or steer away from the path to peace.
This is another episode in our series entitled “The Path to Peace,” based on an upcoming book project I am working on entitled The Path to Peace: 10 Verses to Develop Faith Over Fear. In this podcast episode of Monday Morning Moments, I share a verse that gives us the proper perspective and the right response to have peace in any moment…including the valley moments in our life.
Show Notes:
-
In chapter 16 of the Gospel of John in the Bible, Jesus communicates a bunch of things to His disciples…mainly that He will be leaving them and why this is a good thing. They are confused about this and wonder how this could ever be a good thing. They also don’t understand how the “Helper” that Jesus promises could ever be better than having Jesus in the flesh with them. At the end of chapter 16, Jesus says these words:
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (NIV)
- Importance of a Proper Perspective and the Right Response
- A proper perspective about a situation and the right response can help us move through challenging moments, discover the path to peace, and realize growth in the process and successful and impactful outcomes. The path to peace will be filled with trouble; yet, we can experience peace in the process because of what Jesus did on the cross and what He offers us in any moment. It’s helpful to know that there will be challenges so we are not caught off guard at any moment (Perspective). And it’s even better to know that we have someone who can help us conquer any fear along the way (The Powerful Response)!
