A Leap of Faith Doesn’t Have to Be a Leap of Terror - Inspirational Videos

Living by faith is not supposed to be a terrifying experience. But it will be unless you grow in the knowledge of God.

Now, nobody knows what they're getting into when they first step into a relationship with Jesus—nobody! But that is the first and only time when faith in Him is not based on knowing Him.

To know Him more is to trust Him more—knocking the fear out of facing whatever you have to face.
