What does it look like to live with courage when life—and ministry—doesn’t go according to plan?
In the second episode of Called Beyond Season 3, Tim Shuck sits down with returning guest Darren Prince to reflect on Joshua 1:9 and explore how courage is formed through the steady, reassuring presence of God.
“This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
In this episode, Darren shares how the phrase “with you” has shaped his understanding of courage over time. After nearly two decades serving in East London, his team has faced significant shifts—changing neighborhoods, changing people, and even the loss of what once felt stable.
Instead of clinging to their original plans, they chose to follow where God was already at work.
That decision required courage.
Not the kind that feels bold or obvious—but the kind that trusts God enough to let go, adapt, and stay aligned with his movement.

You don’t have to have everything figured out.
If God is with you, you already have what you need to take the next step.
So whatever is in front of you today:
Be strong.
Be courageous.
And trust that God goes with you.
