About this episode

This episode explores the theme of fear through the story of Jesus stilling the storm in Matthew 8.

In this episode of our Miracles of Jesus series, we dive into Matthew 8 and the story of Jesus stilling the storm. Fear is one of the most universal and destructive forces in human life (it affects everyone, regardless of faith, finances, or background). It creates what it dreads, paralyzes us from action, and quietly steals our joy. But Jesus steps into the chaos with one piercing question, "Why are you afraid?" This question points us toward the only remedy powerful enough to truly drive fear out. If you've been white-knuckling it lately, this episode is for you.
