Every day we have all kinds of opportunities to express our faith. But how do we measure whether we're really making a difference? Today on Focal Point, Mike Fabarez explains that a life well lived can be recognized by one thing in particular, and that's persecution. When we choose to follow Christ, we reject the values of this world, and our convictions don't always make us very popular with the culture.
Artificial voices are everywhere. From AI phone scams to deep fake videos to spread misinformation. The counterfeits are so convincing that distinguishing truth from fiction becomes nearly impossible.
But at Focal Point we deliver the truth of God's word-directly from Scripture. Help us close out 2025 strong with your generous gift this year-end.
And be sure to request the book The 100 Most Important Events in Christian History as our way of saying thank you for standing with us.
