Stand Steady

**Welcome back to a brand new season of Fearless! I usually take a break from the podcast over the summer, but this summer especially looked very different for our family in many ways. It was a quieter season, a season we didn’t really plan for, as my mom battled some health issues and our family stayed put in Boone. But sometimes even those seasons we don’t plan for can end up being exactly what God uses to slow us down and show us what really matters. That was this summer for me.**  **Going into the fall though, I wanted to take today’s new episode of Fearless to tell you all about my book coming out this October, *Stand Steady: A Fearless Faith in a Compromising Culture*. For a number of reasons, I never planned on writing a book—in fact, a lot of my friends and family didn’t even know I wrote *Stand Steady* until just a few weeks ago. But I couldn’t seem to shake this question: What kind of woman will you choose to be? It’s one that I first asked during a church service, and it became the heart of everything I wrote about in *Stand Steady*.**  **Because following Jesus will always cost us something. Standing steady in our faith requires preparation, and we can’t always wait until the storm hits to prepare. So, who will you choose to be when the world shifts, when the culture compromises, when following Jesus becomes uncomfortable? Those are the questions I’m asking today and all throughout this new season of Fearless. Will you stand steady? That’s my prayer for you, and it’s my prayer for myself as we head into this new season and all God has for us.**  **Preorder *Stand Steady* here:** https://bookstore.billygraham.org/stand-steady.html?pk\_vid=67ef3ffeb412b961178673680342e652**.**
