Her Renewed Strength Podcast | Episode 31

Do you feel left out or an outcast at family gatherings, school reunions, or in places you used to frequent?

If you’ve been a Christian for some time, you might have found yourself in a room where you are one of few or maybe the only Christian there. You know how that goes; people are polite but don’t engage in conversations that could lead to you potentially judging them or, worse, trying to convert them.

If you’ve ever felt lonely or outcasted for being bold about your faith and putting your trust in Jesus, this episode is for you!

Why you’ve got to check out today’s episode:

• Discover how to live each day in the confidence that you are loved by no other than the King of the universe.

• Learn how to trust in Jesus, not in the universe, and experience peace.

• Get rooted in the Word so that you can build a firm foundation for your identity, purpose, and calling in Christ.

“If the world hates you, understand that it hated me before it hated you.” – John 15:18

-the world, the universe
-the ungodly multitude; the whole mass of men alienated from God, and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ
-the whole circle of earthly goods, endowments riches, advantages, pleasures, etc, which although hollow and frail and fleeting, stir desire, seduce from God, and are obstacles to the cause of Christ
