‘When We Trust God, We Shouldn’t Fear Anything’: Ed Young Asserts America Is Facing the Virus of Fear

Whatever stereotype that you have in your mind when it comes to a mega church pastor, you may want to erase that when it comes to Ed Young, the pastor of Fellowship Church located in the Dallas area.
