There’s a military adage that’s applied to everything from sports and law to business and board games. It goes, “the best defense is a good offense.” Pastor Mike Fabarez uses this principle to describe the Christian life as well. If you want to do great things for God, it starts by having a good defense. But in order to really make a difference, you’ve got to live like you have nothing to fear, because you don’t! God is with you.
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.
