In The Return to Courage, John Eldredge explains how God calls believers in Christ to “be strong and courageous” (Joshua 1:9) and live a fearless life for him. But in today’s anxiety-ridden world, we often fall into the trap of believing our obstacles are too great and our trials too deep for us to lead anything other than a reactionary and fear-based existence. The need for courage is at the core of every single issue we will face in this life—whether in our relationships, our career, or our faith. In this study, John shows participants how to see their circumstances from God’s perspective, learn how to rely on God’s strength and believe he is with them, and return to the state of courage that he wants them to have when it comes to facing the issues of life. As Paul wrote, we are to “be strong in the Lord” and “put on the full armor of God” (Ephesians 6:10–11), but we can’t do that when we are constantly in fear and fleeing the battle.
