About this episode

Are you focusing too much on your problems? In this episode, Fr Columba reveals how fear traps us by keeping our attention on what’s wrong instead of Who is faithful. Using the image of mountain biking, he shows that where we fix our gaze determines where we go — and that hope is the courage to look beyond fear. Learn how to stop feeding your fears, shift your focus to God, and rediscover peace through trust and hope.
