Your Eyes Are Your ID

Fear is a universal emotion that can either alert us to danger or paralyze us completely. In Inside Out 2, fear is depicted as focused on what we can see, contrasting anxiety, which focuses on the unseen. Paul writes to Timothy, who is facing real fear— persecution, leadership challenges, and an uncertain future. In this letter, Paul reminds Timothy then and us now that God has equipped us to overcome fear, not by denying it, but by managing it through His power, love, and sound judgment.
