Fear is a natural part of daily life. It’s so common that, often, we don’t even notice it. And yet, it dominates our decisions.

Because of the value we as a society put on fear, we idolize safety, appearances, materialism, and power, turning to those things in hopes that they will lessen our anxieties. But Jesus preached a different way. In Fearless Families: Building Brave Homes in an Uncertain World, author and pastor Kevin A. Thompson shows us that, when we are led by love, we will choose:

trust over safety
heart over appearances
connection over materialism
submission over power

Thompson demonstrates how, as we make choices based on these values, our fears will decrease and our love will increase.

Kevin A. Thompson is an author and pastor in Fort Smith, Arkansas. He is the lead pastor of Community Bible Church and author of You Turn; Friends, Partners, and Lovers; and Happily.
