Courage Class Summary
Jesus Journey Speaker, Stephan Tchividjian
Quotes:
"The courage to confront is often the first step toward healing in a relationship. Avoiding confrontation doesn’t solve problems—it just gives them time to grow."
"Peter thought he could do what Jesus did. Jesus, knowing he couldn’t, lovingly confronted him with the truth. That’s not rejection—that’s discipleship.”
“Jesus told Peter to put his sword away. Sometimes, real courage looks like surrendering the fight, not winning it.”
“What’s your sword? Is it your intellect? Your wealth? Your charisma? Whatever we use to defend ourselves in fear—Jesus calls us to lay it down.”
“It takes no courage to cancel someone. It takes deep courage to restore them in front of others. Jesus didn’t cancel Peter—he reinstated him.”
“When we try to live courageously on our own, we fail. But when Jesus puts courage in us, it's not for our own strength—it's for his purpose.”

Quotes:
“Every story of great courage in Scripture—David, Moses, Jesus—was motivated by love for others.”
“When you mix courage with compassion, you begin to see the miracles.”
“Great leaders don’t avoid hard decisions—they face them. Often, the difference between mediocrity and greatness is the courage to make the tough call.”
