The awareness focusing on “Nothing to Fear Day” has roots in 1933 when Franklin D. Roosevelt first used the phrase, “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself.” It would help Americans through the fear of uncertainty to make it through the Great Depression and then World War II.
Marcy and Xander first talked about risks which can lead to fear as they and nine other WNZR staff members head to a Christian Music Broadcasters Conference called Momentum in Florida.
Then Eric spoke about the origins of Nothing to Fear Day, ways to face fears and bible verses to help you fight them with the armor of God.
