Do Not Be Afraid Playlist

Fear, Anxiety and Jesus

The world has felt like it turned upside down for many people across the United States and the world over the last few months.  The playlist below focuses on acknowledging fear and trusting in God.

Start by reading the Bible Story or watching the video and going through the wondering/discussion questions.  Then pick the activities your family or small group would like to do, as many or few as you like.  Close your time with prayer – use your own or the one provided.

• Who would be a modern day replacement for the shepherd as the God figure?
