Being a believer doesn't mean being afraid to stand for what you believe.In this episode of the Cross Culture Podcast, we talk about what it means to grow a spine and be bold as a Christian, having convictions, standing on them, and being willing to speak up when it would be easier to stay quiet.We discuss the pressure to fit in, the fear of people's opinions, compromising convictions to avoid conflict, and what boldness actually looks like in everyday life. Being bold doesn't mean being unnecessarily confrontational; it means having the courage to live consistently with what you believe.We also talk about how believers can navigate culture, friendships, work, relationships, and difficult conversations without losing their convictions or their love for people.As always, expect honest conversations, different perspectives, and our usual banter along the way. 😂 **Episode Sponsor** To join the waitlist for Breed - your spiritual companion app to help you stay consistent in your walk with God, use this link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.joinbreed.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To connect with Premium Essentials for quality casual wear on Instagram, link is below ⬇️ ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/essentials.premium⁠⁠ 👉 Don’t forget to click the follow button and the bell icon, so you never miss new episodes! 💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments — we’d love to hear from you!

Living in God’s Power6:49 – 12:23

MichaelHost

6:49

So, the message of the gospel is supernatural.

M

MichaelHost

6:58

And one way the Bible or God proves that this message is supernatural is through miracles.

M

MichaelHost

7:02

And I was reading the story in the book of Acts over the last month.

M

MichaelHost

7:06

And one thing I've noticed, you know, Paul and Barnabas, for instance, in the city of Iconium, the Bible says that...

M

MichaelHost

7:13

They continued in that city for a long time.

M

MichaelHost

7:16

But God proved that their message was true using the New Living Translation.

M

MichaelHost

7:20

He proved that their message was true by giving them power to do signs and

P

PromiseHost

7:25

wonders.

M

MichaelHost

7:26

It's not apostolic signs and wonders.

M

MichaelHost

7:28

See, this message is a supernatural message.

M

MichaelHost

7:31

You know, I don't just want you to be a Christian and not experience the power of God.

M

MichaelHost

7:36

You need to understand the message we believe contains the resurrection of someone who died.

M

MichaelHost

7:43

Yeah.

M

MichaelHost

7:44

Praise the Lord.

M

MichaelHost

7:44

I want to be in my PDR and let me not shout.

M

MichaelHost

7:48

Who died? There is power in the name of Jesus.

M

MichaelHost

7:51

That's right.

M

MichaelHost

7:52

You know, the Bible tells us Jesus just as he was about to leave the disciples, he says, and you shall receive the Holy Spirit.

M

MichaelHost

8:00

after that the Holy

P

PromiseHost

8:02

Ghost has come upon you and you shall be witnesses of it

M

MichaelHost

8:06

in Judea, Jerusalem, in Samaria, so he led the disciples with the Holy Ghost he led them with power to do that's all they needed because to prove this message there has to be power that's right There has to be power.

M

MichaelHost

8:23

And we see that replete in scriptures.

M

MichaelHost

8:28

Especially in the New Testament.

M

MichaelHost

8:30

But I don't want to drive us too far.

M
