Is fear a sin?

For many believers, anxiety comes with a second burden: guilt. We worry not only about our circumstances but also about whether our fear disappoints God.

In this episode of God-Sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook, I speak with Ed Welch about his book Fear Is Not a Sin and what Scripture teaches about anxiety, weakness, and the nearness of Christ.

You’ll discover:

Why fear is part of living in a fallen world

The difference between struggling and rebelling

How God responds to anxious hearts

Practical steps toward biblical courage

A more compassionate theology of weakness

If you have ever felt ashamed of your anxiety, this episode will help you see fear through the lens of grace.
