Sean Davis @seanmdav - I talked to a friend recently about courage, and he made what I thought was a really profound point worth thinking about in depth: not all courage is the same. For example, there is moral courage and physical courage.
Physical courage is the soldier who braves the hail of bullets to complete his mission or to save his brother-in-arms. It is the fireman who risks his life to run into a burning building to save people who might otherwise die without his help. It is the mother who instinctively shields her child from danger using her own body.
Physical courage is generally the type of courage we reward in modern society because it is so obvious and visceral. It is easy to see and easy to depict. We know physical courage when we see it, and we also know physical cowardice when we see it.
But there is another type of courage that we don’t often recognize and praise, and that is moral courage. Moral courage is hard to depict in a mural or a statue. A monument to men planting a flag at Iwo Jima just seems more dramatic than someone calmly standing up and speaking the truth at a school board meeting, or telling a friend his behavior is ungodly, or internally vowing to no longer silently abide the lies of a culture that tells you boys can become girls or unborn babies aren’t people.
Many of us may simply never have the opportunity to demonstrate physical courage, or cowardice. That’s one reason it’s so important to praise the physically courageous, in the hope that it would condition all of us to not cower in fear if and when we are ever placed into that crucible.
It’s easy to say, “Oh, I definitely would’ve stepped in to protect that girl on the train,” but the reality is most of us have no idea how we would react until we’re forced to make that decision.
In our lives, however, we have the opportunity to practice and display moral courage every single day and in everything we do. Raising your children to do good and hate evil is morally courageous. Publicly objecting to false doctrines spread by wicked messengers is morally courageous. Stopping what you are doing and praying to Christ when you feel hopeless and helpless is morally courageous.
Standing up before a culture that hates God and hates good and revels in evil is morally courageous. Risking your job and livelihood to speak the truth and reject lies is morally courageous.
You do not have to find yourself in the midst of war or a terrorist attack or a natural disaster for the opportunity to demonstrate moral courage. You can demonstrate it in every aspect of your life countless times each day.
And the thing about moral courage is that it becomes easier and more instinctive the more often you do it. At a certain point, you won’t even realize you’re doing it, because the thought of doing something else is simply inconceivable.
