Overcoming Fear Through Perfect Love

Jun 15, 2026    Don Barfield

In this radio clip, Pastor Don explores the connection between self-centeredness and fear, emphasizing that much of our fear stems from self-love and the fear of losing what we possess. He references 1 John 4:18 to highlight that perfect love is the antidote to fear, as it drives out the emotional and spiritual poison of fear. While fear is self-protecting, love is inherently others-centered and self-giving. Love encourages us to connect with others, breaking down walls of fear and building bridges of understanding and compassion.
