Courage to Conquer PART ONE: Turning Fear Into Movement (with Tonya Dixon)

On the Elevate Your Life podcast, the host welcomes special guest Tonya Dixon to discuss the host’s debut book, Courage to Conquer, which grew from a sermon inspired by the Book of Joshua and became a book after prayer and a sense of continued calling. Tonya reveals she served as the original ghostwriter years earlier, helping map the manuscript so it could be finished later. The conversation explores how the message came from the host’s own struggles, emphasizing that courage is not the absence of fear but choosing not to let fear make daily decisions, and that “courage doesn’t always feel like courage.” Using Joshua’s call to “be strong and of good courage,” they discuss promises requiring movement despite “giants,” the difference between something being occupied and belonging to you, and practical steps like breaking goals into small daily actions, illustrated by the host’s courageous move to Atlanta and the challenges she faced there.
