Courage & Calling

For the step you are afraid to take

Coming to the App StoreAll Paths

When God calls, He almost always says do not be afraid, which tells us that fear is expected. This Path is for a threshold: a new role, a hard conversation, a task that feels too large. Courage here is not a personality. It is a response to a promise.

This Path is part of the house. One year opens it, with every other Path.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

Joshua 1:9BSB
