About this Episode

What is biblical courage and why does God command it? In this episode, we explore one of the most overlooked commands in Scripture: "Be strong and courageous."

When Moses died, Joshua faced an impossible task—leading Israel into the Promised Land without their greatest leader. God's response? A repeated command to be courageous. This isn't just ancient history—it's a blueprint for Christian living today.

In this video, you'll discover:

  • The biblical definition of courage (it's not what you think)
  • Why courage is a command, not just a personality trait
  • How God equipped Joshua to defeat 31 kings
  • The two ingredients for living courageously as a Christian
  • Why courage requires community, not isolation
  • How to overcome fear through God's Word and His presence

KEY SCRIPTURE: Joshua 1:6-9, Deuteronomy 31, Matthew 28:20

Courage in the Bible isn't the absence of fear—it's obedience to God despite fear. Whether you're facing spiritual battles, living with conviction in a compromised world, or sharing the Gospel, God calls every Christian to spirit-filled courage.
