In this latest installment of our series called "The Battle Before Us", David, Lynn, Stephanie and Phil explore what the Bible has to say about choosing faith and conquering fear.

In Matthew 12:34, Jesus said that "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks".

In this third installment of our series called "The Battle Before Us", David, Lynn and Phil explore several verses in the Bible that detail the importance of keeping our mouths in line with our faith.
