Fear of Death: Learning from a Young Father Frightened by His Mortality

Death is the great enemy we all face. Many people put off thinking about it until its unavoidable and are then caught unprepared. But for others it casts a shadow over all of life that can sour and discolor every hope and relationship. In this seminar we will consider a life example of a man who was sensitized to death as a child and is now learning how the gospel helps him face death, for himself and his family, as a truly defeated enemy. Being mindful of mortality and weakness, instead of being crippling, can open up new possibilities for our relationship with God and our ministry to others.
