Confident and Bold Together

Most of us know what it feels like to hesitate when we have an opportunity to do or say the right thing. Courage can feel difficult when we feel alone. Yet throughout Scripture, we see that God often strengthens our boldness through the Holy Spirit and through the people He places around us.

Peter and John's example reminds us that real courage is not loud, forceful, or self-confident. It is a Spirit-shaped confidence that enables ordinary people to faithfully live and share the truth of Jesus, supported by a community that prays for courage rather than comfort.
