It’s a struggle that goes by many names: peer pressure, codependency, people-pleasing. Or, as the Bible calls it, the fear of man. For many of us, underneath many of our sins and struggles is a simple but hard to overcome problem: people are too big and God is too small. In this group, we will read and discuss how we see this challenge affecting our lives and let God reorient our eyes and fear to their proper place.
