Often when we think of “fear” we see it as something to overcome, to master or to find control over. “Fear” is a barrier to progress – it holds us back from the best of what life has to offer. So why does the Bible tell us to “fear” God and, what’s more, suggest it’s enriching?

International minister and author John Bevere joined Laura on Hope 103.2’s UNDISTRACTED podcast to unpack the thoughts in his new book, Awe of God. Helping reorient our understanding of holy fear, John explains the value of the virtue of fear and how it’s come to be something we dismiss.
