Grace and Peace to you brothers.


As we enter week 24, our focus turns to courage—a quality that stands at the heart of authentic manhood. In a world that often challenges our convictions and tests our resolve, true courage is more than bold action; it’s the steady strength to do what’s right, even when fear and uncertainty press in. This week, let’s explore together how biblical wisdom and the example of Christ equip us to face life’s battles with unwavering faith, shaping our identity and purpose as men who lead with conviction and humility.


Prayer: 

God, help me to be a man of courage, standing firm against evil. (1 Corinthians 16:13)


Meditation: 

Reflect on areas where you need to demonstrate more courage in your faith.


Quote:

“The Christian is called upon to exhibit courage not because he is naturally brave, but because he knows the truth about the universe. He knows that God exists, that Christ has risen, and that the Holy Spirit indwells him. In the face of ridicule, persecution, or loneliness, the Christian stands firm, not because of his own strength, but because he is upheld by the reality of God’s promises.”

Francis Schaeffer

Book Recommendation:


Courage: How the Gospel Creates Christian Fortitude by Joe Rigney


Courage: How the Gospel Creates Christian Fortitude by Joe Rigney is a concise, practical exploration of the Christian virtue of courage—also known as fortitude—and its deep connection to the gospel. Rigney examines how biblical courage is not simply the absence of fear, but a habitual, sober-minded mastery of fear through a greater desire for the glory of God. Drawing on Scripture, church history, and practical wisdom, Rigney encourages believers to develop boldness rooted in Christ, enabling them to face anxiety, anger, fear, and even persecution with steadfast joy.
