·36 min·3 clips
He recounts Joshua meeting an angel, declaring he stands with God, not any human side.
The episode begins with Pastor Jaime Goldenberg introducing a new sermon series titled 'Head Games' amid a tough week of global chaos and tragedy. He dedicates children to God's purpose, emphasizing hope beyond single events. Goldenberg expresses personal brokenness over a martyr's death, though not naming the individual, and reflects on the need for revival and prayer in the church. He discusses the evil and wickedness in the world, urging listeners to wake up and engage spiritually. The host references the story of Joshua meeting the angel of the Lord to illustrate standing with God rather than human sides. He announces the sermon's title, 'Pick a Fight with Fear,' and cites John 16:33 about having perfect peace despite tribulation. Goldenberg explains that perfect peace is mature peace developed through battles, not a trouble-free life. He uses the example of Timothy's fear and Paul's encouragement to stir up faith from 2 Timothy 1:3-7. The sermon identifies fear as a spirit that causes anxiety and depression, with antidotes being power, love, and a sound mind. Goldenberg details positional and transactional power from scripture, and discusses receiving and giving love to combat fear. He concludes by inviting the audience to stand and worship, referencing Psalm 91 and the law of hospitality for protection under God. The episode ends with a call to prayer and resources for listeners.

As heard by us

A direct sermon treats fear as a daily spiritual opponent, answering it with prayer, resistance, and worship.

Fear is framed as a daily pressure, not a passing mood. The episode opens the series by setting child dedication against a hard week of chaos, shootings, tragedy, and devastation, and that contrast gives the message its center.
