Fear Is Like a Scorpion

Scorpions aren’t easy to kill as Tessa found out on a vacation in Italy. Fear isn’t easy to kill either. But here’s the amazing thing, even when you’re fearful, God still invites you to build his kingdom. Award winning biblical fiction author Tessa Afshar joins us to talk about dancing with fear and faith.

We also have a conversation about how the desert seasons in life aren’t meant to wreck us. In fact, they can deepen our faith and intimacy with Jesus as we lean on him. Then, Tessa admits she’s a worst-case scenario thinker. But she’s learning to replace those poisonous thoughts with the truth!

Last, Perry admits, “I’m a worker and an achiever and it’s hard to find rest in the middle of my busy.” But that’s exactly what Jesus invites us into. Pulling away to rest especially when the demands on us are great. We can do this cause “God has the night shift!”
