What does it look like to live with courage when life—and ministry—doesn’t go according to plan?

In this second episode of Season 3, Tim Shuck sits down with returning guest Darren Prince to reflect on Joshua 1:9 and explore how courage is formed through the steady, reassuring presence of God with us.

Drawing from nearly two decades of ministry in East London, Darren shares how his team has navigated major transitions—shifting communities, changing team dynamics, and an uncertain future. Instead of clinging to their original plans, they chose to follow where God was already at work.

This conversation invites us to see courage not as boldness or certainty, but as a daily choice rooted in the promises of God.

Wherever you find yourself today—facing uncertainty, transition, or a difficult decision—remember:

You are not alone.

God is with you.

What does it take to say yes to Jesus when it means leaving comfort behind?

In this first episode of Season 3, Tim Shuck is joined by Cheryl Fletcher and Matt Weston to reflect on Luke 5:1–11 and the moment Jesus called the first disciples to leave everything and follow Him. Together, they share personal stories of unexpected turning points, difficult seasons, and the courage it takes to trust God one step at a time.

This conversation sets the tone for Season 3 by helping us see that courage doesn’t always feel bold in the moment, but it often leads to deeper roots in Jesus.
