The Modern Knights Episode 11 Cowards and Courage

In a world where courage seems in short supply, The Modern Knights Podcast stands as a beacon of inspiration. This week, host Luke Jones, joined by tech guru Charles Alexander, confronts the pervasive 'coward epidemic' head-on. Diving into the biblical perspective of cowardice, they explore the harsh reality of Revelation 21:8 and its alignment with the broader Christian ethos. From the definition of cowardice to the destructive impact it has on individuals and societies, Luke and Charles pull no punches in their call for strength and valor.

The episode doesn't just diagnose the problem; it offers a solution. As they dissect courage, its importance, and its biblical roots, the discussion pivots to the transformative power of faith. They challenge listeners to embrace the courage demanded by God, as seen in the lives of Joshua and David, and to recognize the pivotal role of men in leading their families to Christ. It's a rallying cry for all to rise above fear and to stand firm in the face of adversity.
