Heroes of Faith: Embracing Your Role in God's Story
As we step into 2025, this episode challenges us to see ourselves as heroes of faith—not just distant observers of the greats in Hebrews 11, but active participants in God's story today. 📖✨
We explore how faith isn't limited to church activities but fuels justice, creativity, leadership, and cultural transformation. Faith-filled people have built schools, hospitals, and charities, shaping history. And now, it's our turn! 💡🏗
What’s your next step? Allow God’s creative energy to stir dreams inside you—dreams that solve real-world challenges and bring His glory to your community. Hebrews 11:1 reminds us: Faith is the confidence in what we hope for and the assurance of what we do not see.
