Be Bold
Courage that comes from God.
Facing fear with God's strength.
The big idea
Courage isn't the absence of fear — it's faith that moves anyway.
What does “Be Bold” walk through?
Boldness to Speak
Acts 4:29 · KJV
And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word.
In plain English
Lord, look at the threats. Give your people the courage to speak your word anyway.
Pray for Nerve
The early church didn't pray for safety but for boldness. Ask God for nerve.
Finish the Fight
2 Timothy 4:7 · KJV
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
In plain English
I fought a good fight. I finished the race. I kept the faith.
Keep Going
Courage isn't a single brave moment but a thousand small faithful ones.
Pray
Lord, give me courage to do the right thing today. Amen.
Write it down
What's one brave, right thing you've been avoiding?
You finished: Be Bold
God doesn't call the equipped. He equips the called. Step out.
Which passages does this journey use?
2 passages, drawn from Acts 4:29, 2 Timothy 4:7. Every verse appears here in the King James text with a plain-English line beside it, so you can read it without a commentary open. Allow about 5 minutes for the whole thing, or 5 short sittings.
- Acts 4:29
- 2 Timothy 4:7
Read any of these in full on the complete KJV, or look the wording up independently at Blue Letter Bible.
