Episode notes
Stand Faithful In Dark Seasons
- Even in the darkest cultural moments you can stand faithful for God as Elijah did during Ahab's reign with a three-and-a-half year drought.
- Pastor Jeff contrasts Israel's split monarchy and Ahab's extreme wickedness to show Elijah's stand was against overwhelming national apostasy.
Three Convictions That Produce Holy Boldness
- Holy boldness comes from three convictions: Yahweh is God alone, Yahweh must be feared and obeyed, and Yahweh calls you into his presence.
- Jeff explains Elijah's name means "The Lord is my God" and uses Isaiah and Ecclesiastes to anchor each conviction.
Vanya The Soldier Who Wouldn't Stop Witnessing
- Jeff recounts Ivan (Vanya) Mosiev, a Russian soldier who became a Christian, refused to stop witnessing and was tortured to death at 20.
- Vanya said he had a higher allegiance to Jesus and compared himself to a nightingale who cannot stop singing.
