Do It Afraid – A Lesson in Courage

Have you been living fearless? Are you venturing down new roads? Do you live life without reservation?

One of my favorite movie quotes is "A life lived in fear is a life half-lived." It's from Strictly Ballroom, a movie my husband introduced me to years ago. We even mentioned it in our latest book because of the strong implication for how to live a courageous, full life.

So if we've got metaphors and quotes and movies for us to live courageously, what do our kids have? As of just a few weeks ago, they've got a new movie by Joyce Meyer titled Do It Afraid.

It's the second in a series of kids movies, the first was What About Me!?

This second movie, Pahappahooey Island: Do It Afraid!, follows a group of furry friends as they navigate a mysterious island full of strange people and things that each one fears. The great thing is that their fears are silly, so there isn't anything that will spark a new fear in your own kids.

As with the last DVD, the characters are funny and there are some pretty hilarious songs they sing along the way, all while learning a powerful message about the importance of overcoming your fears and just doing it afraid.

We could all learn a thing or two from these furry friends!
