Episode 58 – Resistance: Living a Radiant Faith in a Conforming World | #Faith4TodayPodcastIn this episode of the Faith4Today Podcast, Pastor Matthew Hunt introduces the 2026 theme: Resistance — resisting the story of self and choosing God’s story of redemption and renewal.Rooted in Romans 12:1–2, this teaching calls us to a faith that doesn’t drift with the culture but is actively shaped by God’s mercy. We explore what it means to live as a “living sacrifice,” resisting conformity to the world and instead being transformed by the renewing of our minds. This is radiant faith — a faith that pursues God’s presence, is formed by Christ, and partners in His mission.You’ll hear how resistance isn’t passive withdrawal or angry opposition, but spiritual acts of protest — fasting, prayer, generosity, Scripture, celebration, and daily obedience — that shape us into people who live differently because we belong to God.This episode challenges us to reject average, distracted, and self-centered faith, and instead live intentionally, sacrificially, and joyfully as people being made new.Topics include: • What biblical resistance really means • Romans 12 and living as a living sacrifice • Resisting the story of self in a self-focused world • Spiritual practices as acts of protest • How renewal follows resistance • Living with allegiance, not apathy
