There’s something undeniable about conviction. The kind that turns fear into courage, that transforms a scattered few into a movement that reshapes history. In this episode, we explore the extraordinary shift that took place after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. How did a small group of terrified disciples become the force that spread Christianity like wildfire, shaking the Roman Empire to its core?

We dive into the earliest worship of Jesus as divine which is something unthinkable in a monotheistic Jewish world. We confront the staggering reality of how eleven ordinary men, who had nothing to gain but everything to lose, carried a message that would cost them their lives… yet they never wavered. Why? Because they believed with every fiber of their being.

We talk about the fire within, the undeniable, soul-shaking truth that moves people to sacrifice everything for something greater than themselves. It’s not just about history; it’s about what happens when truth takes hold of a person’s heart and refuses to let go.

So ask yourself, what are you willing to stand for, even when the world stands against you?
