"He will not fail you or forsake you."This is Moses's final word to the people he led — and to Joshua, who must carry everything forward without him. Not a plan. Not a strategy. A fact about God: He goes with you. He will not fail you.In this Lectio Divina episode, Steve Corbin guides you through Deuteronomy 31:6 slowly — sitting with the structure of the command itself. Be strong and bold: not because you are sufficient, but because God goes with you. The courage is grounded entirely in His presence.This episode includes two slow readings of the scripture, guided meditation and prayer, a period of silent contemplation with original instrumental music, and a brief return to the week's theme. Give yourself 12–14 minutes of quiet.

Part of the Held Catholic Devotional series — Volume I, Week 5: Courage When the Path Feels Heavy.

New episodes every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Some mornings the weight of what's ahead hits before you even get out of bed — not one big crisis, just the accumulation of it. Responsibilities that don't let up. Unknowns you can't resolve. And courage feels like something other people have.In this episode, Steve Corbin opens Week 5 of Held with a reframe that changes the whole equation: Scripture doesn't describe courage as a personality trait. It commands it — and every command is grounded entirely in God's presence, not your resolve. The courage you need for today is not something you produce. It's something you receive.This week's anchor is Joshua 1:9. Steve walks through why God commands courage rather than just offering it, what it means that courage is a daily posture rather than a single heroic act, and a morning prayer practice that can change how you begin every day this week.This episode is drawn from Volume I of Held: A Daily Devotional on Fear, Trust, and the Nearness of God — launching Pentecost Sunday, May 24, 2026. New episodes every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

We often seek God's guidance through life's uncertainties, much like a lamp provides a little light in the darkness. This reflection explores the concept of a lamp as a metaphor for the divine guidance God offers, especially when we are seeking god. It's about how even a small amount of christian inspiration can illuminate our path, requiring faith in His direction.
