2022 Annual Conference
Ever since Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden into a world subjected to futility, we have experienced anxiety, fear, and worry to greater or lesser degrees. God’s word has much to say about these things, and we all need to hear them. The Bible recognizes that not fearing is easier said than done. If we are going to respond rightly to anxiety, fear, and worry in ourselves and others, we need the kind of help and hope that God promises in His word, by His Spirit, and through his people.
Plan to join us August 12-13 for this year’s Annual Conference, “Fighting Fear: What the Bible Says About Anxiety, Fear, and Worry”, hosted by the BCLR Students and Young Adults Ministries of the Bible Church of Little Rock.
