Why Are You So Afraid? - Good Question - Matthew 8, 14

About this episode

The episode explores how Jesus addresses our fears and invites us to remember His presence in our lives.

Fear has a way of sneaking into the places we can’t control—our storms, our worries, even our parenting moments—and yet Jesus meets us there with a question that isn’t meant to shame us but to steady us: Why are you so afraid? In the chaos, He isn’t asking us to pretend we’re brave; He’s inviting us to remember who He is and who holds the waves. As we look at the questions Jesus asked, we get to see how fear can shift into wonder when we realize He’s been in the boat and on the water, with us all along.
