Here is the 5-part video series I did for FaithStreams on the Psalms, focusing on the theme of fear. These are based on material excerpted from my book, Connected: You and God in the Psalms.

In the first segment, I explore the question "What are you afraid of?" Psalm 23 provides some encouragement in the face of fear.

In part two, we'll find safe places to stand in times of fear, using Psalm 24 as a starting point.

Part three reviews the cost of fear in our lives, based on Psalm 27.

Part four considers how love can overcome fear, drawing on Psalm 56.

Part five, based on Psalm 111, considers the kind of fear that builds wisdom and peace into our lives.
