Growing Greatness: Encouraging Courage in #BeAmazing Kids
Faith & Inspiration | June 13, 2025
In a world filled with uncertainty and change, courage helps our kids stand firm in their values

Written By: Pastor James

Welcome to another Friday edition of “Growing Greatness,” where we help parents and grandparents inspire #BeAmazing kids! This week, we’re shining a spotlight on a value that empowers children to face life’s challenges with hope and strength—Courage.

Why Courage Matters

Courage isn’t just about heroic acts or standing up in big moments. It’s the quiet strength to do what’s right, even when it’s hard or scary. In a world filled with uncertainty and change, courage helps our kids stand firm in their values, speak up for others, and try new things without fear of failure.

The Bible reminds us in Joshua 1:9:

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

When we teach our children to be courageous, we’re helping them trust God, believe in themselves, and persevere through life’s ups and downs.

How to Encourage Courage at Every Age

For Young Children (Ages 3–7):

For Elementary Kids (Ages 8–12):

For Teens (Ages 13+):

How Do You Inspire Courage in Your Family?

Every family faces moments that require courage—whether it’s moving to a new city, dealing with loss, or simply trying something unfamiliar. Encourage your kids to pray for strength, lean on family, and trust that God is with them every step of the way.

When we nurture courage in our children, we’re preparing them to be resilient, compassionate, and confident leaders—ready to face the world with faith and hope.

Blessings,
