"Courage: A By-Product of Faith"
by Beth Guckenberger
Questions to prod your personal thinking and processing or for use in group discussion and are arranged by article title.
“Courage” by Beth Guckenberger
1. Beth writes, “Nothing has required more courage than loving a wayward child.” How do you respond to this statement?
2. Beth also says, “Courage is not the opposite of fear. Courage is the byproduct of faith. It’s surrender and forward motion. It’s a release of control and a holy confidence in a plan bigger than the page you are on.” Do you agree or disagree? And if you disagree, how might embracing this definition make you braver in tough situations?
3. The girls came to Beth’s home 10 years after she had hoped. What does this tell us about God’s timing? What hope you can take from this as you experience waiting in your own life?
4. “The Holy Spirit, a listening heart and small steps forward” kept this story moving forward. How can this combination keep you moving forward as well?
5. How does reading about how other woman addressed difficult challenges motivate and encourage you in your own?
“What Courage Looks Like” Interview with Lauren Scruggs by Mary Byers
1. Lauren Scruggs says, “Courage comes from building a sold community of people around you, being vulnerable with them and serving those around you even when it's difficult.” How have you shown courage in the past? Where can you show courage in vulnerability in the midst of any circumstances challenging you right now?
2. How did Lauren’s story of examining herself after her injuries affect you? What did you learn about courage from it?
3. Lauren also says, “Outward appearance is the easiest way to view beauty because we see it, but someone's heart is where beauty lives.” What techniques can you personally identify and use to help you see other people’s beauty?
4. Lauren notes that a thin blade changed her forever, “And yet a small thing could also change it again for good.” How is Lauren seeing that in her life? And how can you see the same thing in your own?

COURAGE
To speak ill of the world
Needs courage,
But fortunately or unfortunately
Everybody has that courage.
To love the world
As one’s own,
Very own,
Needs courage.
Unfortunately, most of us are wanting
In that courage.
The courage of the heart,
The courage of the soul
We badly need,
And not the courage
Of the unruly,
Aggressive,
Impure,
Demanding vital.
- Sri Chinmoy
