Question 15: What can you say to the person who is choosing to avoid the grief instead of living through it?

It’s something we all long to possess yet it’s one of the rarest qualities to find. I’m talking about COURAGE. Courage is the internal fortitude to keep moving forward in the face of fear, hardships, and challenges. Courage enables us to cultivate endurance and resilience; it is the by-product of a tenacious spirit. Professional life coach, wife of 50 years, mother, grandmother, teacher, author, and lover of life—Jan Silvious offers a lifetime of wisdom to all of us learning to navigate life with joy and hope.

This interview presents three truths that are critical to life:

  1. God knows
  2. God cares
  3. God provides

For every season in our lives, these truths are foundational to having a courageous spirit.

Change in any season of life brings us to question our ability to navigate through it well. While most resist change, it is the most significant way to help cultivate courage, strength, confidence, values, and character.

It is our character that enables us to move forward—trusting Christ is with us and remaining faithful to us. How are you navigating life these days? Have you been running from what the Lord longs for you to embrace?

How accepting are you of what He allows? Have you incorporated laughter and ways of managing stress that keep you healthy? What one area of your life do you need help with in moving forward? Together, we can live a courageous, adventurous life!
