God Calls You to Be Bold in Your Faith
“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” - 2 Timothy 1:7
It is easy to follow Jesus when things are safe, comfortable, and convenient. But that is not what you were saved for. God did not rescue you so you could blend in with the world. He called you out so you could stand up, speak up, and live out your faith with courage.
There is nothing casual about being a Christian. It takes boldness. It takes grit. It takes a willingness to be misunderstood, opposed, or even rejected. But when you know who lives in you, you stop living in fear of what is around you. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, and that means fear does not get to lead your life anymore.
Sometimes God will put you in situations where you have to choose between comfort and conviction. Between silence and speaking truth. Between fitting in and standing firm. That is where bold faith is built. You do not grow in boldness by avoiding hard moments. You grow by stepping into them with confidence that God is with you.
You were not made to shrink back. You were made to shine. Boldness is not about being loud or flashy. It is about being consistent. It is about living out your faith in the quiet moments and the loud ones, when people are watching and when they are not. It is about being unapologetically His in every space you walk into.
The world does not need more quiet Christians. It needs people who are not afraid to live for Jesus in full view. That kind of faith is contagious. That kind of faith shifts atmospheres. That kind of faith changes lives.
You have no idea what hangs in the balance of your bold obedience. Do not let fear keep you from what God has for you. Step out. Speak up. Stand firm. The world needs your voice, your story, your light. Be bold.

I love it when people tell me I have a glow to me, they say this often. I know why. I really don't like the term christian, it is to broad. I am a Christ follower, I am not quite about it and my faith is contagious, I know this. Praise God I am willing to go into the "world" and reflect his love, even through my own struggles.
Love this!!!!
Amen and amen. We are called to be strong and very courageous!!!
I needed to hear exactly this today. Thanks!!
yes perfectly said, Jeus did not save us to be comfortable and blend in with the world but to speak up and be courageous
Thank you for another great and inspirational message! Just love you all ???
Amen! the last 12 years I've been trying to live my life strong and courageous.I love this message
Thanks for the reminder ?.
nI am still learning to be bold with my words but I definitely "speak" outwardly with my Jesus tshirts. It helps starts conversations. I was told just yesterday, "thanks for wearing that shirt " I had my Waymaker T on. People are reading my shirt!!!!
