What happens when obedience leads to opposition? When your yes to God gets you misunderstood, attacked — even by your own people?In this episode, we unpack Acts 21–23, where Paul faces chaos, false accusations, and violence in Jerusalem. But instead of backing down, he stands firm — not in pride, but with quiet courage. We talk about what it means to follow Jesus when it doesn’t lead to applause or ease, but to hardship, confusion, and costly obedience.🎙️ We explore: • Why obedience doesn’t always lead to good outcomes (immediately) • Paul’s use of his Roman citizenship — and what that teaches us • Cultural conformity vs. biblical conviction • Church infighting, spiritual identity, and grace-fueled boldness • The power of your testimony, especially in hostile spaces💬 This episode is for anyone feeling misunderstood, weary in the work, or wondering if faithfulness still matters.📌 Drop a comment: When has obedience felt costly in your life?🔔 Subscribe for more biblical deep dives and real talk on faith, leadership, and calling.#IfIHadMoreTime #Acts23 #FaithfulnessOverFame #ChristianPodcast #SpiritualLeadership #TestimonyMatters
