49. The Fear of the Lord
In this episode we talk about the oft misunderstood doctrine of the fear of the Lord. We reference Michael Reeves book, Rejoice and Tremble as a helpful guide in understanding this necessary and stabilizing truth. We discuss how rightly fearing God humbles us and calms our anxieties, and the unique, comforting knowledge of God that Christians have with a God who is both transcendent and imminent.
