Year 8 Week 6 - Asha and the Spirit Bird
By this point in the story, Asha and Jeevan are well into their journey, but the excitement of escape is gone. Hunger, uncertainty, and fear set in. This week, the focus turns inward. How do we keep going when our energy is gone? How do we carry someone else’s fear as well as our own?
These chapters explore emotional survival as much as physical, and what it means to hold onto hope when everything feels like too much.

In this chapter, Andy Bannister shows us that fear is one of the biggest reasons Christians stay quiet, even when we believe something amazing.
