Why You Need to Cultivate Holy Fear
With only one week left til the launch of John's new book, The Awe of God, we wanted to dedicate this episode to sharing some of the heart behind this message.So many think the fear of the Lord is just an Old Testament message that has little application to our lives today—but is this true?
