Strong & Courageous Men Feat. Garret Barbush| EP. 102

“Great leaders do things others are not willing to do.” // Garret Barbush

On EP. 102 Garret dives into Joshua 1:6-7 as he talks about what it takes to be men of strength and courage. Men, God’s Word has to be the foundation of our lives. When we put God at the center and meditate on His Word daily, that is where we truly find strength and courage to lead well.

“Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them. ‘Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.'” // Joshua 1:6-7

Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” // Joshua 1:8-9
God’s Word is the foundation of our lives
