About this listen

Do not be afraid

We live in a fearful and cowardly time. Some are anxious and withdrawn, seeking to escape the notice of whatever scares them. Others mask their fear with fighting and quarrelsomeness. The root of all of this fear is the fear that we might lose our belonging in whatever tribe in which we seek safety, the fear that we might have to stand alone.

The crisis we face is not a crisis of clarity but a crisis of courage. Our problem is not so much a lack of knowledge as a lack of nerve. And yet, Jesus told us that we are to stand with courage. That doesn’t mean that we will be fearless but that we will know how to face our fear and keep walking toward the voice that calls us homeward. Gospel courage is nothing like the bravado of this anxious age. The call to courage is terrifying because the call to courage is a call to be crucified.

In The Courage to Stand, best-selling and award-winning author Russell Moore calls listeners to a Christ-empowered courage by pointing the way to real freedom from fear - the way of the cross. That way means integrity through brokenness, community through loneliness, power through weakness, and a future through irrelevance. On the other side of fear is freedom: the freedom to stand.

Always in tune…

As is typical of Moore, he seems to be in tune with what is going on in our world on several levels. Perfect book for me in this season of life. My favorite challenge was his comments about God doing work to de-center us from our story so the focus could shift to Jesus.

This Book Gave Me Hope

This was exactly the book I needed to read/listen to in the midst of the pandemic. Part memoir, part sermon, this book needed to read by the author and, thankfully, it was!

Solid charge to have courage

A really solid conviction and charge on what it means to stand with courage.
We can have courage in crisis, because Christ is with you in the crisis. Lead on.

“What it means to “stand” for Christ is not, it turns out, to evacuate our internal lives of all fear, or to humiliate our enemies with incontrovertible “winning,” but instead to live out in our very lives the drama of the cross. That means that courage does not come from matching the world’s power and wisdom with more of our own, but instead by being led, like Elijah, where we do not want to go (John 21:18). The courage to stand is the courage to be crucified.”
