The Lie That Sounds Holy: Wisdom or Fear?
In this episode of Living in Abundant Joy, Claudia Klann explores the theme of fear masquerading as wisdom, particularly in the context of spiritual encounters with God. She emphasizes the importance of intimacy with the Divine and encourages listeners to overcome fear in order to experience a deeper relationship with God.
