Episode notes
Fear Sets Your Boundaries Or Catapults You
- Fear often defines the boundaries of a person's freedom rather than their capability.
- When you change your relationship to fear it can catalyze bravery and expand your life.
A Verse That Became A Life Mantra
- Erwin shares that Joshua 1:9 was one of the first verses he memorized and deeply shaped him.
- He admits he was full of fear but chose to adopt the verse as his life mantra and acted against fear.

- Courage in scripture is commanded repeatedly because it is not innate in people.
- You don't tell a courageous person to be courageous, so repetition reveals human deficiency not heroic nature.
