About this episode

Cory Wing explores the biblical understanding of fear and courage, emphasizing obedience in the face of fear.

Fear is a normal part of life—but spiritual cowardice is something different. In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explores what Scripture teaches about fear, courage, and faithful obedience. Looking at examples from the early church, the Apostle Paul, and ultimately Jesus Christ Himself, Cory explains why biblical courage is not the absence of fear but obedience in the midst of it. What does it mean to fear God rather than man? How do Christians stand firm when obedience is costly? And where does true courage come from? Join us as we examine how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to live faithfully, speak boldly, and trust Christ regardless of the consequences.
