Fear Not

Fear changes everything. How we think. How we breathe. How we pray. Fear Not is a 30-day devotional for anyone walking through fear, grief, anxiety, or uncertainty. Written from the middle of suffering, not the safety of the other side, Josh Oldenburger shares his journey through one of life’s deepest valleys. Alongside his wife Heidi, he experienced the loss of their daughter, Mikayla Faith, who lived for just three and a half precious hours. In those moments, fear felt louder than faith and hope felt fragile. This devotional is not about having perfect faith or easy answers. It is about choosing to trust God when fear feels stronger and learning to walk forward when the storm has not yet passed. Each day invites you into Scripture and reflection through the stories of people in the Bible who faced fear, loss, and uncertainty and chose faith anyway. Their stories remind us that God meets us not after the storm, but in the middle of it. Whether you are facing grief, anxiety, loss, depression, or a season that feels overwhelming, Fear Not is a gentle reminder that fear does not get the final word. God does. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 You are not alone, God is with you, Fear does not win, Jesus does.
