“Think positive.” That’s a common piece of advice you’ll hear from self-help gurus. But Pastor Mike Fabarez explains that, if we only ever dwell on happy thoughts, it’ll actually make us less effective as witnesses for Christ. So, does that mean we should always be down in the dumps? Not exactly.
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.
