we must not be afraid of fear but be afraid of getting the best of us. As Christians and artists, fear is an enemy but fear also drives us closer to God and as artists, we can let fear push not defeat us. “I’m always afraid that the bubble’s going to pop,” he says. Joel Trussell says in his interview,“This year has been so amazing for me, I’ve gotten to work on so many great things. But who knows? You make a few bum music videos, and people are going to be like, ‘Forget this cat. He’s not making anything.’ I’m very worried about that constantly. Constantly. And I wonder about my options, too. What do you do then?” He doesn't cower at these thoughts but uses them to thrust himself forward by being diligent and brave. Having fears and being afraid are two different things.
