Fierce Faith 
By Alli Worthington

Sometimes Jesus’s call to “fear not” seems like the hardest instruction to follow.

Some days you faultlessly juggle everything that is your life – kids, husband, house, job, church, friendships, school, pets, appointments, and on and on.  You’ve got this whole ‘being an adult” thing nailed!  Then there are the other days where the very thought of which ball you’re going to drop puts your anxiety level through the roof.  You’re afraid you’re forgetting something.  (more…)
