Your Faith is Bigger Than Your Fear

There are many things that we might fear as entrepreneurs. We don’t even have to mention specifics – concerns and anxieties are likely already swarming around your thoughts. We have many responsibilities when it comes to performance, employees, and culture (not to mention our families and personal lives). 

But fear is only one response to the uncertainties of life. Faith is an alternative. What does the Bible have to teach us about handling fear? How does God encourage us and guide us when the world around us seems so dark and threatening? 

Join us for this Bible reading plan on faith and fear as we explore these questions. Hear from professional athletes, CEOs, and faith leaders. You’ll surely gain a new perspective from their personal stories and wisdom.

Day 1: Fear is Contagious

Adam LaRoche is a former MLB player turned entrepreneur. He reminds us that fear is contagious, just like a disease. If we hold fear in our hearts, we will infect everyone we come into contact with.

But if we hold faith in our hearts, that goodness will overflow and touch those around us. So which will you choose? Learn more in this day’s bible reading plan.

Day 2: Don’t Let Fear Drive Your Reputation

The reading plan for today is simple but powerful. It presents a Psalm that helps us focus on our reputations as entrepreneurs. How do we live lives on integrity and faith? Too often, fear entices us to make decisions we later regret. Don’t fall into that trap.

Day 3: Faith is the Opposite of Fear

Nathan Sheets is CEO of Nature Nate’s Honey, as well as one of the driving forces behind the global “I Am Second” media campaign that highlights stories of hundreds of lives transformed through the grace of Jesus Christ. He shares how his honey company grew too fast and lost a lot of money. It was a season of fear, but Nathan relied upon the total sovereignty of God and clung to his faith.

Day 4:

The best way to control our fear is to walk with God. This is the theme of this day’s reading plan. Taking a look at God’s calling of Abraham, Tom Nelson helps entrepreneurs walk more closely with God. Tom is the president of Made to Flourish, a pastors’ network for the common good.
