Persecution and the Christian Life: Standing Firm in Faith

from Anchored in the Word with Dave · host Dave Jenkins

In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins addresses the timely and sobering question: Should Christians pursue persecution? The Bible is clear—persecution is promised for all who desire to live a godly life in Christ (2 Timothy 3:12), but it is never something believers are called to seek out. Instead, Christians are called to faithfulness, courage, and steadfast love in the face of opposition. Through Scripture, church history examples like Polycarp and William Tyndale, and pastoral reflection, Dave explains: Why persecution is promised but not pursued. The difference between faithfulness and provocation. How to prepare your heart to stand firm when trials come. Persecution is not a strategy, but when it comes, it is a privilege to suffer for Christ's name. May we stand firm in faith and stay anchored in His Word.
