\u201cSo do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.\u201d Hebrews 10:35<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a world that\u2019s all about blending in, those of us standing on biblical truth often feel like we\u2019re walking around with a flashing neon sign that says, “Jesus is Lord!” And you know what? I\u2019m okay with that. In fact, I\u2019m proud of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As believers, our worldview filters everything we see — and spoiler alert: not everyone\u2019s going to like it. Our culture may roll its eyes or even try to silence our voice, but we\u2019ve got to remember: we are not called to be timid. We\u2019re called to be courageous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How? Two things can anchor us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Accept God\u2019s Word as our authority.
Opinions shift like Texas weather, but the Word of God never changes. Hebrews 6:18 says, \u201cGod has given both His promise and His oath — it is impossible for God to lie.\u201d That\u2019s the kind of truth I want to plant my feet on. Not trending hashtags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Spend time with Jesus.
Acts 4:13 tells us that Peter and John amazed the crowds — not because they had Ivy League credentials, but because they had been with Jesus. The more time we spend with Him, the bolder we become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I messaged several friends a couple of days ago about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who led a prayer to \u201cour Lord and Savior Jesus Christ\u201d at the Pentagon. Bold. Brave. Beautiful. And yes — criticized. But standing for truth will always ruffle a few feathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what? Jesus ruffled a lot of feathers — and He also saved our souls. So let\u2019s “bold up” and show up for the One who showed up on Calvary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fear of rejection? Been there. But fear of displeasing God? That keeps me talking about Jesus with joy, with grit, and with conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t let the world talk you out of your confidence. You were made to stand. And friend, you are never standing alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So straighten that spine, lift that chin, and lock arms with the One who called you His.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is our moment to live courageous — live bold, and live for Jesus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
