He highlights the importance of reading the Bible so that it shapes our decisions, feelings, and lives.

We cannot lose when we truly know Jesus. He reassures us that we are meant to win, not lose. He shares the stories of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who stayed faithful even during tough times. They knew that they were winners in Christ, whether they lived or died. He encourages us to be brave like those who came before us and dedicated their lives to Christ, rather than following the harmful culture around them. Joseph emphasizes that our strength matters, especially when facing trouble. He shares Polycarp's story to show the importance of being bold for Christ. He also informs us that our best defense today is the peace and joy of Christ within us. Joseph insists that God wants us to believe in Him because our faith and trust in Him help us escape this difficult world. He then assures us that like Jesus, we can overcome the world.
