Stepping In
from Catalyst Church · host Matt Van Peursem | Lead Pastor
In a world filled with discouragement, the book of Joshua teaches us that true courage isn't about being fearless but about trusting God. When God repeatedly told Joshua to 'be strong and courageous,' He was reminding him that He had already gone before him. Many Christians today experience discouragement because they want God's promises without the responsibility to act on them. The promises of God are unconditional by His commitment, but our enjoyment of them depends on our obedience. By meditating on God's Word day and night and applying it to every decision, we can step into the fullness of what God has already given us, transforming discouragement into victory.
