You Must Do Hard Things

Growth often requires leaving what feels safe before we feel ready for what comes next. In this episode, Josh shares the story of his family’s beloved dog Bear, the unexpected lessons he learned from two little hermit crabs, and the vulnerability required when we outgrow the comfortable “shells” of our lives. Like a hermit crab moving between shells, there are moments when we must leave what is familiar and step into uncertainty in order to grow. We often remind ourselves that we can do hard things. But sometimes the deeper truth is that we must do hard things—because courage, faith, confidence, and strength are developed through the experiences we would rather avoid. https://joshdowns.com/daily-devotionals https://joshdowns.com/come-follow-me-for-teens
