Im about to read the same book! i heard a quote on a podcast this weekend that went something like: we face the giants in our lives and when we slay them we defeat the impossible in our lives. After we do that a couple of times, that impossible thing becomes normal.

I think that is what we have to do to our fear. we have to face them, beat them, and make them a normal thing we always beat….maybe???

healthy fear is stuff we beat. unhealthy fear is stuff we are to afraid to deal with…

yes, your dad should blog.

i’ve been battling a couple of fears lately and think this book would be a great read as well… i’ve actually considered listening to the paralyzed series again, love that one!

Anyone else think I should start letting my Dad write my posts. He always has great great clarity and wisdom.

Healthy fear is good, for without it we become over confident and arrogant. Paralyzing fear never lets you make a decision. There is a fine line between the two. Emprase the fear as the unknown but grow from each decision you make. Trust in youir decision making and always listen to what God is telling you. You can not go wrong than.

Paralyzing fear never lets me make a decision.

Healthy fear says I want to honor God in the decision-making process. So as I make decisions, I must be committed to walk with Him & involve Him in the process.

I don’t think there is “healthy fear.” I think it is healthy to step out of your comfort zone but the fear is never healthy. Natural reactions when you do this are discomfort, uneasiness, and fear but courage, bravery and boldness are much positive reactions.

I got my copy a couple of days ago and it went right into the pile with the other books. Never been much of a Lucado fan. Great guy, a bit too wordy of writer.

I’ll definitely be looking forward to seeing your thoughts / summary on what you learned though.
