Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear (Franklin D. Roosevelt).

Discipleship Against Fear
6 Days
Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L.
