Episode notes
Faith And Suffering Are Both Gifts
- Paul argues fearlessness rests on two divine gifts: faith and suffering given for Christ's sake.
- This reframes suffering as a purposeful, God-governed gift rather than merely a misfortune.
Enemies Are Under God's Sovereignty
- Opposition from enemies is governed and limited by God, so opponents can do no more than he permits.
- Recognizing this control reduces fear and reframes adversity as controlled by divine purpose.
Live Fearlessly To Honor The Gospel
- Do not be frightened by opponents because God grants both the opposition and the faith to face it.
- Live fearlessly as evidence the gospel's power and goodness in your life.
