Continuing the Conversation | Why Are You So Afraid? | Answer Honestly

About this episode

The episode discusses living in uncertainty and fear while emphasizing trust and spiritual growth through the lens of Jesus' teachings.

Life doesn't usually fall apart at the beginning or the end—it happens in the middle. In this episode, Craig and Colin talk about what it looks like to live in that space. The place where things feel uncertain, stretched, and sometimes overwhelming—but also where real growth happens. They reflect on Jesus calming the storm and the question He asks His disciples: "Why are you so afraid?" It's not just about fear—it's about trust. You'll hear: Why the middle is both hard and meaningful How God often does His best work in the in-between What it looks like to follow Jesus, not just understand Him And how one question from Jesus can change everything If you've ever felt stuck or unsure of what God is doing in your life, this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen to this weekend's full sermon first, then come back here to go deeper.
