Fear Not

This episode looks closely at the often-overlooked words “fear not” and “do not be afraid,” especially as they appear throughout the story surrounding the birth of Jesus. Scripture shows these words are never spoken when life is calm, but when futures are uncertain and everything is about to change. From Mary and Joseph to the shepherds, fear does not disqualify people from God’s work—it places them right at the center of it. The good news of Jesus is not that fear disappears, but that God chooses nearness, stepping directly into fearful spaces with His people.
