Ever tried to imagine what Joseph must have felt upon learning of Mary's pregnancy in the Bible? We did. Let's journey together as we delve into the cultural context of Joseph and Mary's engagement, shedding light on the sheer fear and humiliation Joseph must have encountered. We discuss the hard choices he had to make, and how his journey provides a compelling backdrop to our exploration of the universal human emotion - fear. In the same breath, however, we reassure you - just as Joseph found hope, so can you. Hear us out as we explore why it's better to be rejected or humiliated with God than walk alone, stumbling over life's many fears. Let's examine the importance of obedience to God in choosing faith over fear and how baptism, small groups, and giving can be pathways to this faith. We wrap up with Jesus’s nurturing words, reminding us he is always with us, lighting our path out of fear. This isn't just about facing the fears - it's about finding the flicker of hope
