Hi there, I am so glad your story has intersected with mine. As characters in God’s Magnificent Eternal story, we have an essential mission to accomplish. The part you play in God’s story is different than mine, but the deep desire of our hearts, whether we let ourselves feel it or not, is one of BEARING WITNESS to God’s goodness, grace, mercy and ultimate power of redemption.

For many years, HOPE seemed like a risk. Some days it still does. It’s risky to HOPE for what I haven’t experienced. God’s goodness seems like a fairy tale we have been expected to grow out of. But it’s not. It’s truer than we have the courage to believe!

To be the witnesses God wants us to be, we have to be brave. Where you have been before this moment, what you have experienced, how God has made Himself known to you or kept Himself hidden include frightening truths. If you are like me, fear often stands between me and truth. I spent years trying to be brave on my own. It didn’t work. Not because I didn’t try, but because the isolating force of fear kept me from myself and others. I didn’t know my story, who I was in it or how to glorify God by being me.

Do you want to be brave?

Without committing to an epic endeavor, what if you took the first step? If you need hope to move forward in your story, if you want to enter the transformative drama of BEARING WITNESS, fear has to go. Here’s a first brave step to shrinking fear.
