Laura Powell led a workshop during The Gospel Coalition’s 2018 Women’s Conference message titled “Journey with John Flavel Toward Fearlessness.” Fear is a common emotion that drives each of us, in one way or another, on a daily basis.

In her message, Powell defined the types of fear people face, and she referenced the writings of Puritan preacher John Flavel to bring context and clarity. Powell reminds us that the fear of the Lord is good, that sin caused our fears to be fallen, and that our fears can be redeemed by the life, death, and resurrection of Christ.
