Samer Massad’s message at SALT challenges listeners to live a life of courage, embracing fear rather than avoiding it. He frames courage not as the absence of fear but as moving forward despite it—“do it scared.” Using personal stories, from overcoming motion sickness on a flight to confronting spiders in a crawlspace, he illustrates how fear often causes us to retreat from opportunities, relationships, and growth. Drawing from the biblical story of Gideon, Samer emphasizes that God sees potential in us beyond our own awareness and provides strength and guidance when we feel inadequate. Courage, he explains, requires vulnerability, choosing conviction over convenience, and chasing calling over comfort. Ultimately, Massad urges listeners to step out in faith, take risks, and pursue God’s purpose, knowing that He equips us to succeed.
