Summary

With only one week left til the launch of John's new book, The Awe of God, we wanted to dedicate this episode to sharing some of the heart behind this message. So many think the fear of the Lord is just an Old Testament message that has little application to our lives today—but is this true? Yes. Scripture says that perfect love casts out fear—but are we taking that out of context when we use it to downplay holy fear? In this episode, John shares how Jesus delighted in the fear of the Lord, and how, if we want to walk intimately with Him and fulfill what He’s called us to do, we must do the same. How do you truly develop a healthy, holy fear of God in your life? Strap yourself in, tune into this powerful conversation with John and Lisa, and discover how you can cultivate this in your own life in today’s episode of Conversations!
