LARRAPY Convos – Blog 79: Faith Over Fear: How to Live Courageously in Uncertain Times

Introduction:

Fear is loud, constant, and contagious — especially in times of uncertainty. But faith is louder. Living courageously doesn't mean feeling no fear — it means choosing trust over terror, hope over despair.

In False Gods Among Us, I teach how to stand firm in faith when everything feels unstable.

Main Points:

• Fear Shrinks Your World; Faith Expands It: Fear confines, faith frees.

• Faith is a Choice, Not a Feeling: Courage grows through action, not emotion.

• God's Promises Are More Certain Than Headlines: His Word outlasts every crisis.

• Community Strengthens Courage: Faith grows faster together than alone.

• Victory is Promised, Not Just Possible: The end of the story is already written.

Practical Tips for Living by Faith:

• Begin and end each day with Scripture declarations.

• Limit exposure to fear-driven media.

• Memorize key promises of protection, provision, and peace.

• Share testimonies of faith breakthroughs regularly.

🧠 Mental Health Commentary:

Living by fear creates chronic anxiety, depression, and health problems. Cognitive-behavioral therapy often helps individuals replace fear-based thinking with faith-driven actions and truths.

✝️ Spiritual Reflection:

2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us, "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Faith isn’t the absence of danger — it’s the presence of divine courage.

🌍 Cultural Commentary:

Culture profits from fear — news cycles, politics, marketing all prey on it. Living courageously in faith is revolutionary in a fear-soaked world.

Conclusion:Faith doesn’t erase storms — it gives you the anchor to survive and the wings to rise above.
