This talk focuses on the theme of courage, drawing upon Christian teachings and metaphors to explore its multifaceted nature. Joe Rigney starts by debunking the notion that courage is solely a masculine virtue, arguing instead that it's a universal human quality that takes different forms in men and women. The talk is structured around a comprehensive examination of what it means to be human, the definition and manifestations of courage, and its relation to both gender and Christian faith. Courage is seen as a virtue that can be expressed by both men and women in distinct ways.
