Does God expect us to be happy if we give up everything to follow Christ? It sounds almost cruel. But it’s exactly what we discover when we read about the apostles, who gave up their lives for the gospel. They were glad! Pastor Mike Fabarez explains why we can rejoice when we’re suffering for Christ.
True courage is rare. And when we see it, we may question our own spiritual resolve when we are confronted or censored. The early church thrived not despite opposition, but through it and Christians today are facing increased attacks to their faith that may cost them something in their lives.
Learn how the courageous stories of men and women of faith can bolster your confidence to stand up when you face opposition.
