Chapter One

Megan led the discussion on Chapter One from OVERCOMING FEAR, WORRY AND ANXIETY by Elyse Fitzpatrick at the beginning of May.

These are the questions and discussion points that Megan brought up. We can ask ourselves these questions when we go through each chapter. (Especially holding each thought captive and praying to God about our fears, worries, and anxieties.)


Chapter One Discussion Questions:

How does the author define fear? 

Would you say fear, anxiety, and worry come up in your life?  Do you find them to be habitual?

Would you agree that fear, anxiety, and worry are sinful?  What do they reveal about us?

How do you deal with fear, anxiety, and worry?

As we take a look at this book, let's be very discerning, holding every thought captive to Christ as revealed in His Word.  Let's plan to intentionally focus not so much on the problem of fear, worry, and anxiety in our lives, but to focus on Christ and His finished work on the cross knowing that His perfect love casts out all fear.

Reminding ourselves and each other:
Who is Christ?


What did He do?


How does this relate to our fear, worry, and anxiety?


What are some verses that come to mind that encourage you when you are fearful?

As a church community, how can we be encouraging each other when tempted by fear (or any other sin)?
