Today’s episode — number 133 — is titled “Faith That Stands in the Fire.” It’s taken from 1 Thessalonians, chapter 2 , and it’s about boldness in the face of persecution, truth over popularity, and joy that comes when faith endures the test. The Apostle Paul and his young companion Timothy had been through the wringer. They had been beaten, imprisoned, mocked, and warned to keep quiet. But instead of silence, they chose proclamation. And not the kind of preaching that flatters men, or bends to public opinion — but the kind that speaks God’s Truth , even when it burns.
