    S1E29 | Janell Wood. Fear feels like control, but love feels like trust.

    Anyone who does evangelism or apologetics knows the burden of trying to change someone's mind regarding matters of faith. It is a burden of love, but without a firm confidence in the Lord, it can feel to others like a burden of control. In this episode, Janell talks to Abdu about a time her love became fear for the other and was interpreted as control. Janell Wood is a popular speaker, blogger, and podcaster. She hosts an incredible podcast, Finding Something Real, in which she has real conversations with young women, typically foreign exchange students, about faith and truth.
