🔥 In this episode, we dive deep into what persecution really is — what the Bible says, how to recognize it, and why being persecuted is viewed as a blessing in Scripture. In light of the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, we explore how fear of man and speaking truth collide — and what it truly means to stand firm.
We also get real about sin, confrontation, and love. When you see someone you care about walking in sin (including questions around homosexuality), do you speak up … or stay silent? How do you balance grace, truth, and courage?
By the end, we challenge you: embrace the discomfort of being reviled or persecuted. Stand for the truth — even when it costs. Because what we stand for matters.
