How can we be bold for Christ?

Boldness can happen in any given circumstance or situation, when the Holy Spirit gives you a nudge. Hear real-life examples and shares about this topic in today’s podcast.

Why is it hard to share our faith to others sometimes? Being bold may be hard at times. Here a Bible story in Acts, with Stephen and Saul, and what boldness looked like, and the outcome. Remember, we’re not alone - we have the Holy Spirit to guide us!

How do we know when to share? Sometimes it’s comforting someone, or praying with them. God gives us situations to support one another and share our own experiences.

Ever wonder where your ministry is? Where God wants you? How do we get the strength to be bold? We’re talking about that today too!

Praying, conversations, going through hard things, trust! We touch on it all :)

Hear shares from Bethany and Carol in this episode on Holy boldness!
