Pastor Adam Ericksen chats with Gareth Higgins about his book, How Not To Be Afraid. Gareth explains whether your fear is about violence, shame, illness, money, meaning, or the collapse of certainty, you are not alone. The power of the fear we feel depends on the story we tell about fear. Fight, flee, or freeze: are these are only options?
