    Fear Killing Fear - Part One

    In this episode of Equipping, Pastors Kyle and Greg sit down to talk about the reality of fear, specifically introducing it in the categories scripture presents to us. We are called both to "fear not" and to "fear God." As they work through how scripture presents fearing the Lord, the picture becomes clear that it is actually really good news! This discussion has been influenced significantly by Michael Reeves's book: "Rejoice and Tremble" (highly recommended).
