Truth Cannot Be Silenced (Part 2) | Boldness in Persecution, John the Baptist, and the Early Church
The truth of the gospel cannot be silenced. From Stephen’s bold witness, to Paul and Silas singing in prison, to John the Baptist standing before Herod — every attempt to stop the message only made the church grow stronger.
In this episode of The Babbler, we explore: • How the apostles rejoiced in persecution (Acts 4, Acts 16, Acts 28) • Why Stephen and Paul preached instead of defending themselves • John the Baptist’s fearless stand for righteousness • The Samaritan woman’s bold testimony in Samaria • What persecution looks like today — and why we must not stay silent
📖 Be encouraged: the same Spirit that empowered the early church empowers us today.
