Fearless Renewal
The Fearless Renewal podcast is a place to dive deeper in your faith and relationship with God. Some weeks will be short and sweet, where we dive into a smaller topic and other weeks we will welcome guests on to the show to be able to hear how their faith has changed and grown through different seasons.
The goal of this podcast is to fearlessly trust God every step of our life and feel renewed through Him.

Compassion: We Are All Human
Why is it so hard to show compassion? It is so much easier to react to someone with sympathy over truly taking it to heart and responding with compassion. Today I dive into what the differences are between sympathy, empathy and compassion and I talk about the compassion that is show by Naomi, Ruth and Boaz in the book of Ruth.
Scripture references:
Colossians 3:12 NIV
Isaiah 54:9-10 ESV
Ruth 1:16-18 ESV
Ephesians 4:32 NIV
