113 – The Courage to Obey God’s Call with Jacob Weldon
What does bold faith look like when God calls you to step out before you feel ready?
In this episode of the Bold Faith Now podcast, Missy talks with author Jacob Weldon, author of The Anointed Series, a fictionalized retelling of 1 and 2 Samuel. Jacob brings a unique perspective as a Marine Corps veteran, attorney, husband, father, and writer who has spent years researching the people, places, and battles surrounding King David’s life.
Through his own story and his writing, Jacob points listeners back to the power of God’s Word, the importance of obedience, and the courage it takes to trust God with the outcome.
In this episode, Missy and Jacob discuss:
-
How reading 1 and 2 Samuel in the Marine Corps changed Jacob’s faith
-
Why we should not reduce King David’s life to just one battle with Goliath.
-
What Jonathan’s courage and humility teach us about bold faith
-
How writers and believers can stay faithful to God’s calling in busy seasons
God often prepares us through hidden obedience before calling us into visible courage. Bold faith means taking the next step and trusting Him with the outcome.
Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!

Welcome Friends!
My name is Missy, and I love Jesus!
I am a Christ-follower, wife, mom, author, speaker, Colson Fellow, and host of the Bold Faith Now podcast. My heart is to encourage believers to live boldly for Jesus in a world that often tells us to stay quiet, blend in, or keep our faith tucked safely in the shadows.
Through writing, speaking, and podcasting, I help believers grow in bold faith, stand firm in truth, and view the world through a biblical worldview. Because following Jesus was never meant to be passive. It is a call to shine His light, speak truth with grace, and take the next obedient step.
My prayer is simple: to point others to Jesus, encourage bold faith, and remind believers that now is the time to live courageously for Him. Join the Bold Faith community and listen to the podcast for encouragement to live out your faith with conviction, clarity, and courage.
