Episode Details

We contrast comfortable faith with the kind of faith that costs something, using Stephen as the clearest example of courage under pressure. We also let Jesus challenge our motives for seeking God and call us back to belief that endures when life gets hard. 
• Stephen’s rise and sudden opposition as a pattern of discipleship 
• Real faith meeting resistance when the gospel is lived openly 
• Stephen’s “face like an angel” as a sign of rooted peace 
• Jesus confronting a crowd that wants bread more than truth 
• The shift from temporary needs to eternal life 
• Our desire for lists and systems versus Jesus’ call to believe 
• A weekly question that exposes what we really worship 
So, my brothers and sisters, today don't just look for what God can do for you. Look for him. Believe in him, stay with him, pray to him, and let that faith begin to change everything.
