Chase the Lion
Manage episode 490709763 series 3324280
What would drive someone to chase a lion into a pit on a snowy day? Courage, desperation, or divine purpose? In this episode of Starting Right, we explore the fascinating biblical account of Benaiah, a valiant warrior who did exactly that—and how his story challenges our approach to risk, fear, and opportunity.
Today's episode highlights numerous biblical risk-takers who changed history by stepping out in faith. We share the compelling "Lion Chaser's Manifesto" that challenges listeners to "quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death" and instead pursue God-given passions with boldness.
God has placed abilities and plans inside you beyond your wildest imagination. Don't let fear keep you from discovering them. Remember, if the best results were always found on the easiest paths, everyone would achieve greatness.
