Kyle Chezem relates a lesson that middle school students helped him to realize about fear. We're all afraid of many things and this fear often threatens to immobilize us. Kyle says that drawing on love for what we do and for the needs of others allows us to overcome these fears.

Serving as a social studies teacher, youth pastor, and basketball coach, Kyle has been an influential member of the LaPorte community. He has served as a delegate for the Fulbright Teaching program to Japan, as well as volunteering as a teaching instructor at an underprivileged school in India. Kyle lives in LaPorte with his beautiful, amazing, and patient wife Heather and their 2 kids.
