To My Fears: An Open Letter – April 2024

Molly Ovenden

Prose

Moving from fearful to fearless is a profound transformation. Part of a transformation often can be a type of declaration, a stake in the ground, a pronouncement in writing, vocalized.

While not everyone’s transformation work is done in public or ever needs to be shared with the public in order to be truly transformational. The quiet work that God does with us in secret is vibrant and restorative–and, sometimes we get the opportunity to share it to encourage others.

For me, as an artist and writer, in this season, it feels valuable to give voice to the inner work God has been doing: I am gratefully sharing my transformation journey as I continue to move from fearful to fearless.
