Embracing Faith Over Fear

Jun 18, 2026    Don Barfield

In this radio clip Pastor Don explores the significant impact of fear on our spiritual lives. He emphasizes that while fear itself is not labeled as a sin in the Bible, it becomes sinful when it leads us away from faith and trust in God's sovereignty, provision, and protection. By allowing fear to cause disobedience and disbelief in God's promises, we open ourselves to sin. Pastor Don discusses how fear is a powerful tool used by the devil, manifesting in various ways to challenge our faith. To counteract this, he advises repentance and seeking forgiveness for our distrust and disobedience. Additionally, Pastor Don encourages listeners to consciously commit themselves to God, allowing the power of His Word, particularly John 4:16, to fill their hearts. By dwelling in love, we dwell in God, thus casting out fear and embracing a life rooted in faith.
