In our series "Real Life Issues: Dealing with My Daily Life Issues," Pastor Joy Gotico shared a timely message titled "I Am Afraid," based on Numbers 13:26–33. Just like the Israelites who saw the giants in the land and felt fear, we, too, often face situations that seem bigger than us. Fear can distort our perspective and keep us from stepping into God’s promises. Pastor Joy reminded us that while fear is real, God’s power, presence, and promises are greater. When we choose faith over fear, we begin to see beyond the giants and into the victory God has already prepared for us
