Unaddressed fear becomes anxiety, which can lead to anger, and then hopelessness, and the joy-killing trend continues.
Uninstalling Fear
Have you ever thought about how we do not have to work at being fearful? It happens in such an unannounced way. Sort of a spiritual warfare malware. Unaddressed fear becomes anxiety which can lead to anger, and then hopelessness, and the joy-killing trend continues.
Fear can keep us out of harm’s way and even motivate us to lean on God. However, the Bible tells us that the spirit of fear is not from God. Why? Because the devil’s strategy is to twist the purpose of fear into a demonic and fleshly process that hinders what is good for us and glorifying to God. The only solution is to uninstall the spirit of fear with the truth of God’s Word through the power of the Holy Spirit. God gives us the power to choose and proceed through Him to be free of fear.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 NKJV

Testimonials
We cannot guarantee the same results that you are about to read. But we can promise that we will do our best to help you as we together follow God’s leading.
When I arrived the first thing that the counselor told me was that he was a Christian counselor who would use biblical principles but he would also use additional therapeutic counseling techniques. After a couple of weeks my wife started coming with me in an effort to help us communicate better with each other. I would certainly recommend the counseling services at First Baptist Spartanburg to others.
My husband and I came to counseling because we were on the verge of divorce for several reasons, including infidelity. I honestly didn’t have much hope of things working out. Our time in counseling not only saved our marriage but our spiritual lives. Thank you so much for this ministry.
My daughter started attending sessions at New Day when the sports team she was on ended! The lack of structure in her day combined with several other issues caused her to stray from her relationship with God! We continued attending our church and was led to First Baptist New Day Counseling! It has been a blessing to us and our daughter.
I began counseling in order to get help with an addiction to opioids that had been an ongoing battle for 5-6 years. My repeated attempts to quit on my own, with no one’s help, had been unsuccessful. Counseling gave me a safe place to talk about my mental battles. It helped refocus my dependence on Christ and not my addiction. I would recommend, possibly even urge someone who is struggling, to seek counseling at First Baptist.
I had been having problems in my family life concerning my children and I had recently lost my mother, which made me feel sad and depressed. After struggling for a while I realized I needed help. I believe the Lord sent me to New Day Counseling at First Baptist. Now, not only am I doing better emotionally, but also spiritually. I have a much stronger and closer relationship with the Lord.
I brought my daughter to New Day originally for grief counseling! After the unexpected death of her father I wanted her to work through her feelings and develop new ways to cope. After starting counseling sessions there have been multiple other issues arise with school. These things have also been addressed and worked through. Counseling has helped my daughter understand that bad things can and will happen, but Jesus will be with us to help us through these tough times. My sweet friend attends First Baptist Spartanburg and referred us here and I am so thankful that she did!
My fiancé and I wanted to get marriage counseling before our wedding. Our counselor at First Baptist led us through a Christ-centered counseling curriculum. We found our counseling sessions as an invaluable asset that we will have to draw from as we spend the rest of our lives together.
