Episode 26 - What Would You Sacrifice for Your Faith?
The early Christians in the book of Acts were willing to face persecution, imprisonment, and even death for their faith—rejoicing they were "worthy to suffer." We explore how this contrasts with modern Christians who often feel anxious when others are merely upset with them for their beliefs.
• Early Christians faced severe consequences yet remained joyful and steadfast
• Modern Christianity often reduced to a checklist mentality
• Following Jesus means taking the narrow, sometimes difficult road
• The Holy Spirit empowers believers but can be "quenched" through disobedience
• Authentic faith requires life changes and allowing correction from others
• Many use Christianity as a "spare tire" only in emergencies
• True discipleship means identifying with Christ at all times, not just in crisis
• Staying out of God's way allows Him to work through us effectively
