Be strong and courageous. Those are the words that the Lord spoke to Joshua as he was sending

him across the Jordan to take possession of the promised land. Pastor Brian Wolf Miller talking

for Christian Courage at this year's Making the Case Conference June 12th and 13th

at Concordia University Chicago. Learn more at Issuezc.org.
