Persecution

Most of us won’t face a crowd or a courtroom for our faith. But plenty of people know what it’s like to be mocked, left out, or written off for following Jesus. Around the world, many pay a much higher price. It’s hard to know what to do with that. Fight back? Stay silent? Scripture doesn’t pretend it’s easy. It shows real people who held onto their faith under pressure, and what kept them standing when everything pushed them to let go.
