The first time I watched Naked & Afraid on TV, I could not stop laughing. I didn't quite understand WHY two complete strangers would WANT to try to survive out in the wilderness with no clothes on. Still to this day, it does not make sense to me. They do not know each other, their location...

God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7 NASB Pride. It gets in my way of being obedient. Recently, God has shown me that I have not fully stepped into some areas where He has told me to go. I shrink back into safer places. The...
