Brave Faith

How Do I Hold on to Faith in the Midst of Uncertainty?

We live in seasons that ask more of us than we think we have-misdiagnosis, lost pregnancies, alcoholism, Alzheimer's, death. In moments like these, it's tempting to cling to our own failing strength rather than our faith. Brave Faith shares the wisdom of those who have stood at the edge of their own strength and trusted God anyway. These chapters teach us that courage is not something we manufacture. It is:

• Obedience, Not Absence of Fear-Brave faith doesn't wait for fear to leave before it acts
• Staying, Not Just Leaving-Sometimes courage looks like stillness-staying in the hard season
• Proven Through Surrender-Releasing the child, the marriage, the timeline, the outcome is trusting God with what we were never meant to control.
• A Witness in the Wreckage-The bravest faith often shows up after loss, not instead of it, when peace arrives before the answers do.

With contributions from Candice Hubbard, Jolene Fellhauer, Julie Barker, Martina Keast, Sallie Polk, Lori Carroll, Elyse Casimir, and Cindy Kennison, Brave Faith gathers testimonies from a battlefield hospital, a quiet living room, a courtroom, and a memory care unit-proof that courage rarely looks the way we expect. Together, these stories reveal that brave faith is not reserved for the extraordinary. It is available in the ordinary, unglamorous moments when we choose to trust God instead of fighting for control.

Each story points to one truth-brave faith does not originate from our own courage. It flows from His faithfulness, and it is made possible only because He never fails us, even in our weakest, most fearful moments.
