MOVING FROM FEAR TO BOLDNESS

WITH

Rev. Donn Dobberstein

DESCRIPTION

On Holy Thursday, Peter got called out by a servant girl and caved in to fear. Days later, he’s standing as spokesman before a crowd of thousands, boldly saying, “Jesus is Lord and Christ.”

In this breakout, we will track Peter’s journey from fear to boldness and apply it to your journey. What’s holding you back? What does an “emboldened you” look like? What impact could this have on relationships God has directly placed you in? What if there were practical resources to help you on your journey? Empowered by the Spirit and gifted with grace, you can change, just like Peter.
