“Be Strong and Courageous”: Nathaniel Thomas on Joshua 1:6–9, Identity, and Bold Faith on Campus
In this powerful episode of the Athlete Disciples Podcast, I sit down with Nathaniel Thomas — a college track & field athlete at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown and vice president of Timeout Christian Fellowship — to study Joshua 1:6–9 and dive deep into boldness, identity, leadership, and God’s call to courage.
We cover:
The fear of not being enough — and the truth of God’s vindication
What it means to walk boldly for Christ on a college campus
Why the command to “be strong and courageous” appears 3x in one passage
How to live out your faith in track, school, and ministry
Why isolation is part of the refining fire — and how God always sends a remnant
The supernatural testimony of being called “Prophet” at Red Lobster 👀
🔥 Nathaniel shares his full testimony — from accepting Christ on his 17th birthday, launching Bible studies on multiple campuses, to preaching the gospel and being used mightily by God through every season, rejection, and trial.
📖 Verse Focus: Joshua 1:6–9
