BE SURE TO CATCH THE PRAYER TIME AT THE END! In this Bible study, I share a message that is very close to my heart, diving deep into 1 John 4:17-19 and exploring what our fears need, as John opens up a powerful remedy for anxiety, worry, obsession, panic, pobias and all of fear's work.
I open up about my own journey with mental health, anxiety, and the torment that comes from a fear of punishment. Together, we break down what it truly means for love to be perfected in us—not as perfectionism, but as a work of completion and fulfillment that brings confidence, even in the face of judgment.
If you’ve struggled with anxiety, fear of punishment, or feeling unworthy, this teaching will help you recognize where love needs to do a deeper work in your life. I pray for freedom from torment and encourage you to take steps of faith, knowing that God’s love is patient, kind, and always working to bring healing and confidence. Join me as we draw a line in the sand and choose to live in the freedom and power of perfect love.
