The Fear Factor

When you are afraid, you must rely on God.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

—2 Timothy 1:7 NLT

If we only do what feels comfortable, we will never learn to trust God. If we wait for perfect conditions, we will never get anything done (see Ecclesiastes 11:4).

You are not alone.

When members of your group walk through challenging situations, please know that you are not alone in ministering to them. Your hub leader is available to pray with you and help you navigate any obstacle you face. Also, Bethany Church offers personal ministry sessions to those who are facing difficult life circumstances or emotional difficulties. Our pastors and lay counselors are equipped to walk people through these situations. As a B-Group leader, encourage your group member to pursue this ministry resource in conjunction with participation in your small group. To schedule a personal ministry session, contact our pastoral team at (225) 774-1700.
