This week on the Midweek Motivation Podcast, Pastor Gabe continues our For the One series with a powerful message on building courage for life’s toughest battles. Drawing from Joshua 1:9 and the story of David in 1 Samuel, he shares six disciplines that can help you strengthen your heart, overcome discouragement, and face your valleys with bold faith.

Discover practical steps to double down on good input, integrate insights into daily life, set clear intentions, evaluate honestly, own your wins, and hold a vision beyond the valley. You’ll walk away with tools to shift your mindset, renew your strength, and live out your calling with courage.

Discover:

  • How to cultivate a courageous heart in the middle of battles
  • Why courage often requires sacrifice of comfort, convenience, and control
  • Practical disciplines to build resilience and hope
  • What it looks like to evaluate your growth and celebrate your wins
  • How to hold onto a vision beyond the valley you’re in


When battles feel overwhelming, you don’t have to give up—you can strengthen your heart in the Lord and rise with courage.

Key Takeaways

  • Courage isn’t natural—it’s cultivated through discipline.
  • Your heart gets stronger when you fuel it with good input.
  • Setting intentions and owning your wins helps you fight discouragement.
  • God calls us to have a vision beyond the valley we’re walking through.
