The Four-Letter Word that Must Be Said

Fear is a four-letter word for a reason.

It’s one of the most destructive forces on the planet. It’s also one of the most subtle.

But conquering it requires us to say its name. We call it what it is.

The difficulty is fear doesn’t always show up clothed in a monster outfit. Sometimes it dresses like our best friend and invites us to dinner.

In today’s episode we see:

• Opponents don’t give up

• Just because someone changes methods doesn’t mean they’ve changed motives

• Differences between overt and covert fears

• Five ways to respond when people try to make you afraid

Fear doesn’t have to distract or destroy you. You can defeat it!
