In this powerful episode of Passion Struck with John R. Miles, I share what it means to be a person of courage. Being a Person of Courage demands more than just satisfying the challenge. It means overpowering fear, acting when the outcome is uncertain, and doing what is right even if that means you might also face consequences from your actions.
- Courage is not always a matter of running toward danger but standing in it.
- Courage is not a lack of fear but a presence of faith.
- Courage is not a status symbol but a sign of strength.
This episode is a must-listen if you’re looking to learn more about what it means to be a person of courage. I will inspire you to find strength in your own trauma and hardship and to forego negative thoughts and emotions in favor of faith, self-mastery, and hope.
It takes courage to face trauma and heal from it. It takes courage to alter your life, leading you to a safer and more secure place. And it takes courage to embrace your painful emotions and agonizing memories and to seek help to overcome them.

What I Discuss In This Episode On What it Means to Be a Person of Courage
In this week’s Momentum Friday episode of Passion Struck with John R. Miles, I explore what courage is and what it takes to be a person of courage. I will discuss different examples of courage and how courage is displayed in different situations. Everyone from a person who is just starting their career to a military leader fighting in battle must act with courage, not just once but over and over again. Being a person of courage is a critical part of servant leadership. But what exactly is courage, and how can we access it?
I will examine why courage is one of the most important qualities you can have in life and how it will enable you to face your fears, doubts, and disappointments head-on and continue moving forward.
