Learn how God's presence brings peace in the midst of opposition, with the Holy Spirit providing the words needed in critical moments. Understand the profound truth that when we suffer for our faith, we actually resemble Jesus more closely, giving purpose to our pain. This timely message includes practical application for examining your approach to representing Christ, assessing your relationships, preparing your heart for potential challenges, and finding purpose in pain if you're currently experiencing opposition for your faith.
