The Real Reason Christians Don’t Speak Up (and How to Change That) | The Pursuit with James Griffin

from The Pursuit with James Griffin · host crosspointcity

Why do so many Christians hesitate to speak up about their faith even when they know the gospel is true?In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Matt Moody, and Carlos Fernandez unpack the real reason believers stay silent and it’s not a lack of knowledge. Walking through Acts 1, they discuss how fear, comfort, and distraction quietly undermine the mission Jesus gave His church, and why boldness was never meant to come from personality, confidence, or preparation alone.This conversation challenges the idea that sharing your faith is about having all the answers and points instead to the Holy Spirit as the true source of courage. You’ll hear why obedience matters more than outcomes, how everyday life is your mission field, and what it looks like to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start living on mission right where you are.If you’ve ever felt anxious, unqualified, or unsure about speaking up for Jesus, this episode will reframe the pressure and remind you where real boldness actually comes from.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes163To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.
