Faith Over Fear

Overcoming Fear

Fear is the shadowy visitor that whispers, “You plus God isn’t really enough.” This unwelcome pest relies on false perspectives and leveraged shadows to appear larger than your best effort and stronger than God Himself. Fear is on the wrong side of John 10:10. Fear’s goal is to suck the life out of you by keeping you from doing the things that lead to really living.

Now, some “fear,” which is more like respect, keeps you safe. That’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about the fear that keeps you unsafe. If you’re wondering if you’re dealing with this kind of fear, just ask, “Does this lead to life and more life?” If it doesn’t, then it’s gotta go. Because you plus God is enough. Anything else is the opposite of God’s story. You know what destroys the wrong kind of fear? Perfect love. A good, loving, heavenly Father. Run to Him, and He’ll cast a different kind of shadow on you—the kind Psalm 91 describes as the shadow of the Almighty. Here’s the thing. Because of Jesus, you’re not just in God’s shadow. Now, you’re in His family. You are no longer a slave to fear; you’re a child of God.

You are an overcomer.

Pray: After you read today’s Scriptures, prayerfully share your fears and anxieties with God. Thank Him for lovingly adopting you as His child. Ask Him to help you see Him as your loving Father and to show you who you are in Christ—more than an overcomer.

“We know that we live in God and God lives in us. We know this because God gave us his Spirit. We have seen that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. That is what we teach. If someone says, “I believe that Jesus is the Son of God,” then God lives in him. And he lives in God. And so we know the love that God has for us, and we trust that love. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God lives in him. If God’s love is made perfect in us, then we can be without fear on the day God judges us. We will be without fear, because in this world we are like him. Where God’s love is, there is no fear, because God’s perfect love takes away fear. It is punishment that makes a person fear. So love is not made perfect in the person who has fear.”

New 2018-2019 Sponsors Needed

Sponsorship does a lot of things for a business. It’s not just an act of charity. Businesses must have a reasonable expectation of Return On Investment. That ROI, however, isn’t always about making more money. Here are the top 5 reasons why sponsoring us can help your bottom line and brand image.

The Top 5 Benefits of Sponsoring us:

  1. Raise brand awareness: This goes without saying. Businesses sponsor events because it puts their brand in the spotlight for the event. It may not mean a financial gain for the company but it certainly puts the brand in front of people. It creates positive PR and raises awareness of the organization as a whole and enhances brand credibility.

  2. Emotional connection: People often spend with their heart. Making an emotional connection to purchases builds brand loyalty. Seeing your brand connected to helping out kids drives this connection for consumers. Quite simply, it shows your brand cares enough to get involved at the community level. Your brand becomes more appealing.

  3. Media Exposure: We do what we can to drive media to our events. The benefit, of course, is the free ‘earned media’ exposure your brand could potentially receive. This can expose your brand to far more consumers than those simply taking part in the event itself. BBB’s Top 10 Scams, for example, is seen by millions across the USA and Canada thanks to media coverage.

  4. Swag: We have no problem with your brand giving away any ‘swag’ or ‘freebies’ and promotional materials to enhance the experience with your brand. It potentially allows you to test market a product before investing in a larger marketing campaign.

  5. A Full Heart: The knowledge that you are helping improve a child’s life by giving them access to an activity that they may not have had the chance to join otherwise.
