EP 45: Spirit-Led Resilience

How do you stay faithful and resilient when faced with relentless criticism? Join me, Megan Ashley, as we explore the emotional and spiritual trials of living out our faith in the public eye, drawing inspiration from Stephen’s unwavering strength in Acts chapter six, in this episode of In Totality.

we delve into the narrative of Stephen, a man chosen for his integrity and filled with the Holy Spirit, we discuss the challenges he faced, including false accusations and ultimate martyrdom. The story of Stephen is a poignant reminder of the importance of serving with integrity and standing firm in truth despite opposition. We unpack the apostles’ decision to appoint seven Hellenistic men to ensure fair treatment of the widows, highlighting themes of service, justice, and faithfulness.

Living boldly for Christ can bring about persecution, but through Stephen’s example, we see the power of defending God’s word rather than our own reputations. Reflecting on our personal struggles and the necessity of a supportive community rooted in scripture, this episode underscores the essential role of the Holy Spirit in empowering us to proclaim truth and love. Embrace the call to forgive and love our enemies, and join us in navigating this season of critique and exposure with unwavering faith and fellowship.
