Your Small Group Can Learn to Trust More and Fear Less.

Every sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear. They 're talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare- ups in the Middle East and upswings in global warming. What if faith, not fear, was the default reaction to threats? Imagine your lite wholly untouched by angst. Can you imagine your life without fear?

Let Max Lucado help your small group explore and find a spiritual solution to the growing minefield of fear. In six stand-alone DVD sessions. Fearless addresses some of your biggest fears, including the fear of not mattering disappointing G.o.d. death, global calamity, losing money, and protecting your children, and shows you how the solution is easier than you may think. Also included in the small group kit are evangelism tools and promotional resources to help engage your church and community in the Fearless message!

Through this timely message. Max Lucado personally leads your congregation through six video discussions on how to combat fear with unwavering faith.
