💥 Still putting off that book, pitch, or big step? It might not be laziness. It might be fear.

Join us for Facing Your Fears— a 90-minute live workshop led by a licensed therapist trained in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and a Christian author mentor.

If you’ve been procrastinating, overthinking, or quietly afraid to move forward — especially on a project, action, or step you know God has called you to — this workshop is for you.

In this free workshop, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Identify the real fear behind your resistance
✅ Understand why you feel so stuck
✅ Make a plan that’s doable — even in small steps
✅ Take one action that moves you forward (without pressure)

Hosted by Julie Ann, licensed DBT therapist, and Jesse Rivas - Author, creativity mentor and founder of Above The Sun Media, this workshop blends therapeutic tools, spiritual truth, and practical coaching — all in a safe, faith-based space.

It’s practical, faith-filled support for Christian creatives who feel called — but stuck.

🗓️ One session. Big impact. Real clarity.
🎟️ Reserve your spot here: https://abovethesun.org/event/face-your-fears/

There’s something you know you’re called to do — write the book, submit the proposal, speak the truth — but fear keeps pressing pause. This 90-minute workshop is for the […]
