Dr. Jeremiah introduces you to some of the Bible’s greatest heroes—David, Paul, Joshua, Habukkuk, Isaiah, and three young Hebrew men who stared down one of history’s most notorious kings. He teaches us how, with God’s help and guidance, we too can exhibit and possess the Courage to Conquer.

We live in a world where frantic rushing is the norm. Every silent space is filled with noise of some kind: traffic, television, radio, music, and conversation.
