Extended Christmas Fear AxeCast

For many, Christmas is a time of cheer, but for many others it is a time of fear. Fear can do many things, cause us to act and think differently, and keep us from or compel us to take action. In Hebrew, the word for fear has two meanings: dread and terror or awe and wonder. In life, fear can keep us from fear, dread and terror keeps us from awe and wonder. Move from fear to fear with these 3 steps.

What Makes Axe Different?

  • We are Multidimensional

    There are many great leadership resources out there, most of them are one dimensional – using only one form of communication to interact with you. We use multiple channels of communication & media to inspire and equip you. These tools will meet you where you are, and refuse to leave you there.

  • we are Continuing

    We are constantly growing with new podcasts, episodes, courses, sermons, and your questions answered every month. Books are a great tool, but once they are printed the content becomes locked in ink and paper. Like our universe, Axe is ever expanding. If you’re looking for that, we are sure to be a good fit.

  • we are listening

    Conversation and dialogue are powerful tools for development and learning. We work hard to make sure that there are feedback loops created for a two way street. We can then answer the questions you have. Creating content is one thing, creating with you in mind is the thing. Our biggest inspiration is you!
