In this episode of the C-Suite for Christ podcast, we’re calling out the silent killer of the modern church: cowardice. We live in a world where standing for biblical truth can cost you everything, and too many believers have traded courage for comfort, conviction for convenience, and the cross for a couch.
The world doesn't need more cautious Christians; it needs courageous ones. Courage isn't a personality trait; it's a biblical command. From David facing Goliath to the apostles facing execution, every generation has been called to pick up a stone and stand firm.
This episode is a spiritual boot camp designed to expose the fears that keep us silent and reignite the holy boldness required to be a warrior for Christ.
Buckle up. We're not here to be safe; we're here to be soldiers.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." – Joshua 1:9
Episode Highlights:
07:55 - Satan loves silent Christians. He doesn't need to make you evil. He just needs to make you quiet. A 2023 Barna Group study found that 64% of Christians say they avoid sharing their faith at work out of fear of offending others or facing a backlash. Nearly two-thirds of believers admit they self-censor because they're afraid of what people might think about them.
13:06 - Courage is what turns conviction into conduct. It's what transforms belief into boldness. Because without it, Christianity becomes nothing more than words, a bumper sticker, a slogan, heck, even a quaint little social club.
56:28 - Courage will cost you something. Comfort, reputation, popularity, maybe even relationships. But the cross always costs. Courage doesn't mean you won't lose. It means you're willing to lose. And here's the paradox: what you lose for Christ, you never really lose.
