Courage & Risk: Stepping Into the Unknown

Fear is not the opposite of faith — avoidance is. Fourteen days on stepping into the unknown with a God who has already gone ahead.

Courage & Risk: Stepping Into the Unknown

How this Journey works

Most of us are not paralyzed by laziness. We are paralyzed by fear dressed up as wisdom. We call it being prudent, or waiting on God, or needing more information — when really we are just terrified of what happens if we step out and it does not work.

This journey strips the camouflage off avoidance and walks you into the biblical pattern: God calls, the person is afraid, God says go anyway, and the faithfulness happens in the stepping, not in the certainty. Zoe will keep asking where your fear is masquerading as something more respectable.

The 14 days.

A passage for each day, and a question to carry with you.
