1 Samuel 15:35

This five day plan walks the believer on God's proven pathway to courage in the shadow of giants.  Courage doesn't happen in a moment.  It is shaped by God and demonstrated in the crisis.

Embrace a 5-day study to help you align your leadership with biblical principles, exploring God's call on your life with honesty, humility, and a Christ-like character. Each day offers practical insights and reflections to help you grow into the leader you’re meant to be.

Browse the Bible Study section at any Christian bookseller or website, and you will see plenty of Bible studies on the heroes of the faith: Moses, David, Deborah, Paul, and so on. What about the terrible, most evil people in the Scriptures? Why are there no Bible studies written about them? Studying them will allow us to understand God’s sovereignty better: He uses the “good guys” and the “bad guys” of Scripture to accomplish His perfect will. This study will examine one of those bad guys: King Saul, the King of Excuses.

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.
