Fear is normal, but does it control you?

Chris Stefanick | Real Life Catholic
About this episode

Fear. Everyone feels it.

Even my buddy Dom Raso, a Navy SEAL.

But here’s the thing about fear. If you try really hard to NOT feel afraid, you’ll get even more anxious. As Dom will tell you, what you gotta do is redirect your fear with a mindset of faith, rooted in God and His truth.

This week, Dom’s back on the show to explain four ways you can redirect your fear. And trust me, they work. He’s BEEN there and DONE that in over 350 combat missions.

If you put his advice into practice, you’ll be more courageous than you ever imagined.
