This podcast explores how the Prayer of Good Courage is made real in the lives of the staff, members and friends of Westwood Lutheran Church in St. Louis Park, MN. Prayer of Good Courage: O God, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us, and your love supporting us, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Joseph is the Old Testament character (and leader) of the week…someone whose life included being thrown into a pit, being sold into slavery, being thrown into jail for a misunderstanding…and yet out of his life experiences and his pain/betrayal/hurt, God stayed with him and used him for good. Out of your “pits” and pain, God still sees incredible potential in you, and chooses you and uses you to bring about good in our world.
