In this episode Liz and his friends have to face their fears.

We all feel fear. Sometimes fear is a gift—something that warns us of danger and keeps us on our guard. But that’s not the kind of fear Liz and his friends were dealing with in this episode. They faced more common fears: fear of the unknown, fear of a new challenge, or fear of punishment. Are any of those your fears?

Caleb and Joshua faced the fear of the unknown and the fear of a new challenge. They saw the powerful people in the land of Canaan, and they didn’t know how they would be able to defeat them. But they remembered that God had performed miraculous acts for the Israelites before. Thinking about God’s faithfulness in the past helped Caleb and Joshua overcome their fear and focus on the good things in store for them in the promised land (Numbers 14:6-9). Remembering God’s faithfulness to you is a great way to put your fears in perspective and focus on the blessings in store for you.
