In this episode of Couch Stories, we talk about what it really means to have a faith that is focused more on God than on ourselves. We want all of God… but many times we haven’t truly turned from our old life and given Him all of ourselves.
Today’s Couch Story is the story of Stephen, the first martyr for Christ. In Acts 7, Stephen shows us what it looks like to live with kingdom eyes — even in persecution. His faith wasn’t rooted in comfort, success, or what God could do for him. His faith was rooted in who God IS.
And we look at James 1, where we see that faith isn’t transformed until it’s practiced. You can’t cling to your old life AND walk in the fullness of Christ. Transformation comes when we surrender, deny self, and live for Jesus above everything else.
This episode is an invitation to step into a faith that’s not self-centered — but Kingdom-centered. A faith that gives all of us… to all of Him.
