S3:13 EP38: Fortune Favors the Brave

In this episode, Katie shares how horses taught her a lot about bravery. "Kick on, Jump the Fence!" A meditation on how the Christian life is intimately tied up with suffering and love. Remember no day was as dark as Good Friday, no morning as bright as Easter Sunday. The most often repeated phrase in the Bible is "Do not be afraid." What are we so afraid of? Do we risk loving, losing, hurting? Encouragement to live out the courage of our convictions - to risk our hearts for the things that really matter in life.  Plus - TOLKIEN himself shares his thoughts on the infamous question - "why didn't the golden eagles just fly the hobbits to Mordor?" - Katie gives up social media for good (sort of) -  and Love and Mercy from Brian Wilson in honor of Divine Mercy Sunday.    www.bornofwonder.com  Instagram @bornofwonder   Leave a review for the podcast on iTunes and leave a star rating on Spotify!    Support the podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bornofwonder?fan_landing=true       "Fortune Favors the Brave" https://www.bornofwonder.com/home/fortune-favors-the-brave    "Why it Matters that Jesus Really Did Rise from the Dead" (NYT)  https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/17/opinion/easter-resurrection-jesus.html    Love and Mercy, Brian Wilson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PISkFEzC5XE    Tolkien on the Eagles flying to Mordor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-Uz0LMbWpI
