Pastor Ben’s message explains that fear today is amplified not by greater danger, but by constant exposure to alarming news that keeps people stuck in place. He teaches that intimidation—not fear itself—is what stops us from stepping into God’s purposes, using Peter walking on water as the example of faith interrupted by doubt. The sermon encourages us to leave our “boats,” let go of relationships, possessions, and positions that hold us back, and choose faith that declares “even if” so we can live the extraordinary life God intends.
