According to Bridget

Thomas Aquinas says that courage is the necessary condition of every virtue as it provides the strength of will needed to exercise any virtue consistently.

In this episode, I chat with Kimberly Begg, author of Unbreakable, Saints Who Inspired Saints to Moral Courage, wife and mother of five children, about how to exercise courage in our modern day society. She shares some practical tips we can use in our own homes, and some incredible saint stories!
