Day 129 Walk in Boldness | Acts 4:13

Send us a text

What happens when ordinary people spend time with an extraordinary God? Acts 4:13 reveals how the religious leaders were amazed by the boldness of Peter and John—not because they were exceptional, but because "they had been with Jesus." This profound truth forms the foundation of today's spiritual exploration.

In our current cultural moment, many believers struggle with showing boldness. We hesitate to speak truth, stand firm, or live counter-culturally. But this devotional unpacks the revolutionary insight that true spiritual courage isn't a personality trait—it's the natural fruit of authentic communion with Christ. When we've been with Jesus, we walk differently, speak differently, and love differently.

The message challenges our misconceptions about boldness. It's not about being loud, educated, or naturally confident. Instead, it flows naturally from spending time in God's presence. This distinction transforms how we approach our spiritual lives. Rather than trying to manufacture courage through our own efforts, we recognize that boldness emerges when we prioritize being with Him.

For those feeling pressure to stay silent or blend in, this episode offers a refreshing reminder that walking worthy means "refusing to shrink back, not from fear of rejection, not because of cancel culture, and not because we want to keep the peace at the cost of truth." The invitation is clear: stop waiting for the perfect moment, say what needs to be said, and live like it matters—all because you've been with Jesus. Join us as we discover how spending time with Christ naturally produces the holy courage our world desperately needs.
