Friday 5 June 2026 - A disciple of Christ

The episode confronts a bold and often overlooked truth: following Christ doesn't lead to comfort, but to persecution. Drawing from Paul’s letter to Timothy, the reflection emphasizes that 'all who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted'—a claim that challenges the modern gospel of prosperity and ease. The host invites listeners to reflect not on the absence of suffering, but on how they’ve responded when it came: whether they’ve stayed faithful, kept moving forward, or leaned into Scripture as a lifeline. Paul’s own journey through Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra—marked by hardship yet sustained by divine rescue—becomes a template for resilience. The episode reframes persecution not as failure, but as a sign of discipleship, urging listeners to anchor their identity in the sacred writings that equip them for every good work.
