Hosted by Kutter Callaway, this podcast takes you on a journey into the heart of one of the most popular genres of contemporary film and television: horror. Each episode discusses the nature of our fears and why we just can’t seem to look away from the things that terrify us. We’ll hear from major Hollywood filmmakers, well-known film critics, leading psychologists, and even an exorcist or two. It will be dark and perhaps even shocking, but the goal isn’t to wallow in darkness or to eliminate it from our lives. This podcast isn’t about how to avoid fear, how to leverage it, or even whether it’s okay to be afraid. Instead, it’s an exercise in learning how to fear rightly. It’s an exploration of fear, faith, and stories that scare the daylights out of us. From the studio that brought you The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill and The Bulletin, Be Afraid is a production of Christianity Today, Fuller Seminary, and Uncommon Voices Collective.
