Let Your Heart Take Courage

Choose Life. Cross Anyway. The water gets rough. The familiar voice falls silent. The responsibility lands in your hands. This episode moves from Moses at the edge of the Jordan to Joshua stepping forward, from disciples rowing in the dark to a frightened boat discovering that God can arrive in a form they do not recognize. Along the way, the class wrestles with storms, transition, courage, grief, leadership, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes we already know what to do. We simply have to choose. Choose life. Be strong. Let your heart take courage. Cross anyway. QUESTIONS FOR THE TABLE 1. What crossing are you already in that you keep wishing you could reverse? 2.

What truth do you already know but have been postponing acting upon? 4. Where might fear be causing you to misidentify something new as something dangerous? 5. If “choose life” applied to one decision before you right now, what would choosing life actually require?
