Welcome back to Strong and Courageous! Has God ever asked you to do something that didn’t make sense? Maybe it felt weird, scary, or confusing. You’re not the first person to feel that way — Noah did too!In Genesis 6, God told Noah to build a giant ark because a flood was coming. Can you imagine how strange that must’ve sounded?

2025/10/23

Hey friends! Have you ever looked at someone’s big faith and thought, “Wow, I wish I could believe like that”? Here’s the good news — faith doesn’t have to start big. Jesus said even a tiny bit of faith can do amazing things. In Matthew 17:20, Jesus said, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move.”A mustard seed is one of the smallest seeds in the world — but when it’s planted, it grows into a big tree.Faith isn’t about

Hey friends, welcome back to Strong and Courageous! Can I be honest? Sometimes I get angry. Maybe someone cuts in line, maybe a friend says something mean, or maybe I just feel frustrated inside. Do you ever feel that way? We all do! But the Bible gives us a really good reminder about how to handle anger.James 1:19 says, ‘Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.’ That means when something makes us upset, we don’t have to explode.

Hi friends, welcome back to Strong and Courageous!Do you ever feel small? Maybe you’re the youngest in your class, or maybe you feel like your voice doesn’t matter compared to others.
