0:00.0	Welcome to the in touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Tuesday, October 29th.
0:07.0	No matter what you face, as a believer, God is always there to provide encouragement. Let's listen to the series to see how
0:14.9	God proves himself as our strength and assurance when we face a test of courage.
0:19.7	Well God has a plan for your life but not only that he has many plans for your life.
0:26.2	He may have an overall plan for your particular life as he does all of us, but there are many
0:32.2	plans among that plan. Decisions we have to make, things
0:37.0	he wants us to accomplish in life. But whatever they are, we know this for sure. His plan is always

1:45.9	facing in life he has something that he intends to bring out of that that is very
1:51.0	good. Well in a scripture today is two chapters in the book of judges and I
1:56.4	want to talk about this whole issue of the call for courage in our life. Many
2:01.9	times what we face in life demands courage. Sometimes
