Naming the Storm — Understanding Fear, Doubt, and the Battles You Face
Before we can overcome fear, we must name it honestly.

Anchored in Sovereignty — Trusting God's Plans When You Can't See Them
This module addresses one of the hardest faith challenges: trusting God's sovereign plans when circumstances are confusing, painful, or silent. Students study God's character, His track record in Scripture and in their own lives, and learn to release control — not passively, but as an active, courageous act of faith. This module directly supports the outcome of releasing control and trusting God's timing even in silence.

A Faith That Prays — Developing a Surrender-Based Prayer Practice
This module transforms prayer from a religious obligation into a living, dynamic conversation with Jesus that moves students from striving to resting. Students learn to pray honestly, persistently, and with surrender — not as a formula for getting what they want, but as the practice that keeps them anchored in Christ through every storm. This directly supports the outcome of developing a personal surrender-rooted prayer practice.

Resilience Through the Rearview — Learning from Past Battles and Biblical Heroes
Spiritual resilience is built on evidence — the evidence of God's faithfulness in your own story and in the stories of those who walked with Him through fire, flood, and famine. This module helps students mine their personal history and the biblical record for unshakeable confidence that God finishes what He starts. This supports the outcome of building spiritual resilience from past battles.

Students graduate not just inspired but equipped and strategically prepared.

David Clilverd
Hi, I'm so glad you're here — and I mean that. I didn't write Faith Over Fear from a place of having it all together. I wrote it from the trenches: from seasons of doubt, fear, and the very real question of whether God was truly working when I couldn't see or feel His hand. What I found — over and over again — is that He was. His plans held. His purposes prevailed. And the faith it took wasn't giant or impressive; it was simply a daily choice to trust Him with what I couldn't control. That's what this course is about. I'm not here to give you easy answers or a formula — I'm here to walk alongside you, point you back to Jesus at every turn, and remind you with Scripture and story that the battle you're in has already been won. I can't wait to take this journey with you.
