In this episode, I unpack the explosive boldness that ignited the early Church—from Peter’s courtroom defiance before the Sanhedrin and Paul’s chains-to-pulpit preaching in Rome to John Paul II celebrating Christmas Mass under communist guns in Poland. We’ll explore how the Holy Spirit fuels unshakable Christian courage, the fierce opposition these saints overcame, and how you can activate that same audacious faith today.
What You’ll Discover
• How Peter’s stand before the Sanhedrin redefined what it means to witness for Christ
• Why Paul’s trials in Rome became the launchpad for global evangelization
• What John Paul II’s Christmas Mass under machine guns teaches about fearless faith
