Rhythms for Life

We tackle fear in this episode of our Emotional Health Series with Dr. Chip Dodd. Fear is the feeling that allows us to experience risk, trust, dependency, collaboration, and wisdom; it helps us realize our need for help. For many of us, fear equals weakness and makes us doubt and distrust one another. In our fear of feeling fear, we become fretful and overly controlling in any risk we take. Following the interview with Dr. Chip Dodd, Gabe and Rebekah speak with Toni Collier, author of Brave Enough to be broken, to hear how she’s overcome fear in her life and how she learned to embrace the pain of her past and how she moved to hope and healing. Purchase The Voice of the Heart: A Call to Full Living by Chip Dodd.
