Summary

Did you know that courage is not the absence of fear, but the absence of self?

Courage begins with integrity; without integrity we will not find within us the resolve or the resilience to face the pressures of life.

To have integrity is to be whole and be complete - to have nothing within you that is not true to the character you possess. Everything in your life depends on integrity to function. For example, a plane you fly in across the country must have integrity in its composition to survive the flight - nothing in it that would compromise its ability to fly. In this same vein, humanity must have integrity to live lives that are not faultless, but false-less.This message shows us that to pursue a life of truth and oneness with Jesus requires the pursuit of integrity. If you want to live a life of integrity and face your life with courage, this message is for you!

This message is drawn from Uprising, a book about taking on the character of God from Erwin Raphael McManus.

0:00.0	Hey guys, I want to welcome you to the Mosaic podcast.
0:11.8	I'm Pastor Erwin, I'm Phil McManus, and just wanted to thank you for listening.

0:52.0	Without courage, you will never unleash your full potential or realize your greatest dreams.
0:59.6	And so discovering how to live a life of courage may be one of the most critical and essential
1:04.0	journeys that you and I can ever beyond.
1:07.3	But there is a mythology around courage and we're going to dive more deeply into that
1:10.6	next week.
1:12.0	Sometimes it seems like there are courageous people and then there are the rest of us who
1:15.2	are cowards.
1:16.2	I don't know about you, but I seem to get a high level of the DNA composition for fear.
1:22.6	And it always seemed to me there were individuals who were naturally brave or courageous.
1:28.6	And so a part of my own makeup had this thought that those people who are courageous must not
1:34.2	experience or feel fear.
1:37.0	But I soon began to discover in life that courage is not the absence of fear,
1:41.7	but courage is the absence of self.
