Not Afraid To Be Positive Episode 224- 2 Timothy 1:7

What drives someone to seek a life grounded in courage rather than fear? This short, upbeat episode of *Spiritworks with Rick Greene* leans on a single Bible verse to answer that question, with a tone that feels like a warm, early-morning chat among friends.

Brother Rick starts by sharing a personal blessing: an email from Teresa Donovan, who watched his movie for the first time and thanked him for sharing his story and introducing her to the music of Eddie Hedges. Rick’s joy is obvious as he repeats, “Praise God,” celebrating that this is the very first message he’s ever received about the film. It’s a simple moment, but it shows how even one response can lift someone’s spirit.

From there, Rick turns to the heart of the episode: 2 Timothy 1:7. Together with Jerry and Jeff, he reads and re-reads the verse: “*For the spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.*” The focus stays tight on that message. The verse is presented almost like a morning mantra, reminding anyone listening that fear and timidity don’t have the final say.

Instead, the emphasis is on God-given strength, love, and self-control—qualities that can support people facing everyday struggles, including those dealing with addiction or trying to stay steady in recovery. The style is simple, conversational, and grounded in faith. You’ll hear gratitude, encouragement, and a reminder that even small affirmations—a single email, a single verse—can change the tone of a day.

If you’re looking for a quick spiritual boost that stresses positivity over fear, this short reflection might be just what you need. So, what might change in your day if you leaned into power, love, and self-discipline instead of timidity?
