IL#650: He Makes Brave Those He Calls: Faith and Courage in the Workplace

Have you ever felt hesitant to live out your faith at work—worried you might offend, lose respect, or risk your job? If so, you're not alone—and you're in good company. Scripture is filled with leaders who felt just like you. But God didn't call them because they were bold—He made them brave. In this episode, Ron Kelleher explores the stories of Moses, Jeremiah, Esther, and Peter—leaders who were once reluctant, uncertain, or afraid, but became courageous because God equipped them. Through their journeys, we learn how God's presence transforms hesitation into bold obedience. Ron unpacks how: Moses overcame fear of inadequacy with the reassurance of God's presence. Jeremiah, despite his youth, was empowered with God's Word and promise. Esther risked her life for justice, understanding her divine placement "for such a time as this." Peter moved from denial to bold proclamation through the power of the Holy Spirit. Today's Christian business leaders face different, but no less real, pressures—cultural tension, professional risk, or fear of exclusion. Yet the calling remains: lead with courage grounded in faith. Whether it's speaking truth in a meeting, offering prayer to a colleague, or simply living with quiet integrity, your faithful obedience can have eternal impact. This episode provides practical encouragement and five action steps to help you live out your faith boldly in the workplace—even when you feel anything but fearless.
