About this episode

This episode discusses the fear of rejection and how faith in the Lord can free us from it.

What do these people have in common? The teenager who gives into peer pressure. The wife who continues to give in to the absurd demands of an abusive husband. The Christian who never speaks to a friend about Jesus. They fear rejection. We too can be obsessed with this question, “What will people think?” We’re so afraid of people’s rejection, but the Bible warns us that that is a dangerous trap, as we see from the likes of Saul and the religious Pharisees. There is a better way to live! “Whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.” Faith sets us free from the fear of rejection, for the Father has forever claimed us in His Son.
