It's Not White Knuckling It's Mediating

Staci leads us through the "Portal" this week, bringing fresh insight into the life of Joshua—not as a flat Bible character, but as a real, relatable person navigating fear, loss, and calling. She highlights Joshua 1, where we explore how God's repeated command to “be strong and courageous” isn't a call to self-reliance, but to deep trust in His presence and promises. Staci shares her personal experiences of anxiety, grief, and spiritual struggle, with us to remind us that true strength comes from meditating on God's Word, yielding to the Spirit, and walking forward in faith—EVEN when we feel weak. We’re encouraged as believers to move beyond performance and embrace the sustaining grace of God in every season of our lives.
