Sometimes it’s hard to be courageous – to do something that’s unfamiliar or scary. It takes boldness and faith to believe that something (or someone) is going to get us through a difficult situation. In the Bible, there are countless stories of people who faced impossible challenges in their lives, yet were able to overcome them because of their faith in God. This guide focuses on six people who were courageous for God: Samuel, Joshua, Esther, Mary, John, and Stephen. You’ll spend a week with each of these people, take closer looks at their situations, and discover the unique ways they all stepped out in faith. Although they all were focused on serving God, the way they went about it was very different. In addition to learning about what they did, you’ll also learn about how God helped them. Not one of these people were perfect, but they faced life with a trust in God that was greater than their circumstances.
