Send us Fan Mail Fear showed up with a coalition army, and Jehoshaphat did the unexpected: he called a fast, gathered families, and sought God’s face. From that moment, everything shifted.

We walk through the drama of 2 Chronicles 20 and the simple, powerful practices that turned panic into praise and a battlef...
