Through scripture, personal reflections, and spiritual wisdom, he reveals how trusting in God transforms fear into peace. When we recognize that Christ is always with us, we find the courage to move forward, no matter the challenges we face.
This Lent, let go of the fears that hold you back and embrace the peace that only God can give. Fear Not is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, God calls us to trust Him. Join Fr. Dan on this journey of faith and discover the strength to face life’s uncertainties with confidence and hope.
Fr. Dan Gurnick, OFM, is a Franciscan priest from Canada who once worked in construction, architecture, and even ran a paintball field before discovering his true calling.
