We all want to follow Jesus, but how do we stick with it when it’s not so easy? This week we’ll hear BRAVE stories from the Bible about people who found courage in tough times. Sometimes they messed up and sometimes they stood strong, but their lives have much to teach us about ourselves and God, who loves us completely.
