When I think of Courage and morality [I think of] the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and how they refused to bow down to an idol when the king and people of the time were all doing so. Even though it wasn't “cool” or “popular” they stood strong in their faith. They faced being thrown into a literal fire but did not back down. And when they are thrown into the furnace God showed up for them and they came out unscathed. This story shows that God stands with those who have faith in him. There is nothing to fear when the creator of the universe has your back. In saying that, who are we to not stand up for God's moral law and word?

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)
Moral courage is similar to integrity. It's doing the right thing even if that means doing the hard thing, not compromising your beliefs, standing for what's right in God's eyes in spite of your own fear of the worldly consequences.
