Show Notes for Episode 5: Facing Fears + Overcoming Obstacles

Katie and Lee talk about their fears (from the silly to the serious). They share about difficult roads they have walked and how God helped them face some of their worst fears. They also talk about how your faith is strengthened when you face fears and overcome obstacles, and what your part is and God’s part is, in the process.
