Parent Discussion
We are half way through our journey of Daring Faith! Today your child learned about Joshua and how he let go of his doubts and fears and stepped out in faith for God. God asked Joshua to lead the Israelites through the Jordan River into the Promised Land. The Israelites had to step into the water before God dried it up and allowed their safe crossing!
God asks us to do the same thing; to set aside our fears and imagine the incredible plan He has in store for us. Like Joshua, we are called to have a courageous type of faith!
1. What does it mean to be courageous?
2. How was Joshua courageous in the story of crossing the Jordan River?
3. Have you ever imagined the amazing things that God has planned for your life? Tell me about some of the things you imagine and dream about.
4. How can we be more courageous together? What are some things we might be afraid of (asking a friend to church, going on a mission trip, tithing our money, standing up to a bully, etc.)?
5. How does it make you feel to know that God promises to always be right by our side even during the scary
