We all have dreams, desires, gifts, and talents within us. Why do so many of us hold off, put off, and refuse to take necessary action?
It all boils down to one thing: FEAR. Fear of failure, rejection, embarrassment...
In this episode, Barbara reminds us that God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and self discipline.
It's up to us to live the life we dream. Go get it!

Some call it generational curses, while others call it generational patterns. Either way, there are many signs in every family that point to the behaviors and circumstances that continue to show up and cause trouble and pain.
