After what was a scary year for many, more Americans say they want to avoid fear.
According to a study from Lifeway Research, when asked which feeling they seek to avoid the most, 4 in 10 U.S. adults (41%) say fear. Far fewer say shame (24%) or guilt (22%). Around 1 in 10 aren’t sure.
Fear topping the list is a marked change from a 2016 Lifeway Research study that found Americans more evenly divided, but with shame (38%) being the emotion people most wanted to avoid, followed by guilt (31%) and fear (30%).
A very, very timely message from John Thurman……..
I am referring more people to John as I get calls for help. Sadly many do not follow though and make that call. The man if full of godly wisdom. John is from New Mexico. We are blessed to have him in our state, but he has a worldwide ministry. John is now with Focus on the Family! God Bless you Sir!
Thank you for this message John, sadly I have officiated the funerals of more and more suicide victims over the last 3 years.
