✨ What “perfect love casts out fear” really means
✨ How Francis moved from insecurity to absolute confidence in God’s love
✨ The spiritual attacks he faced while writing his new book, Beloved
✨ Why biblical literacy is essential to defeating the enemy’s lies
✨ How distraction, social media, and isolation sabotage intimacy with God
✨ The supernatural moments that proved God hears our prayers
