The Cost is Courage Podcast : Conversations with Friends Series

CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS SERIES.png

I choose this series title, Conversations with Friends, and that is true. These were unfiltered and uncut conversations with women who I’ve had the priveledge of getting to know during our sabatical from in person meetings. We were all pushed on-line. And I used it as an opportunity to stretch beyond my comfort zone and reach out to new people, forge new relationships. But another title could have been just as appropriate; Portraits of Courage.

Each one representing an attribute of courage.

Each one living out their everyday ordinary life with perseverence, hope, and passion. Yes, these are women of virtue, women of courage.

It’s been a delight to share bits and pieces of their stories with you on Season 2 of The Cost Is Courage Podcast.

Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently....png

Here are some of my own takeaways;

  • Parenting requires daily courage.

  • Taking the first step often requires the most courage.

  • Even when we’ve come along way, there’s always new ground to take that requires courage.

  • Doing the hard work of processing grief and loss develops our courage to see purpose and beauty in our pain.

  • Speaking out our dreams gives us the courage to follow them.

  • Courage is contagious in community.

  • When we do hard things we grow our courage.

  • Courage is a choice. You can be afraid, but you can also chose to move forward with courage.

These conversations were landscaped with wisdom developed in the dark, in the hard, in the overgrown fields of everyday ordinary lives.

If you’re in a season of prolonged hard, pull up a chair and listen in.
