In this episode, we walk through the powerful and sobering story of Stephen in Acts 6–7—the first martyr of the New Testament. Full of faith, wisdom, and the Holy Ghost, Stephen boldly stood on truth even when it cost him everything.Instead of defending himself before the Sanhedrin, he delivered one of the longest speeches in Scripture, exposing a pattern: God sends truth, and people reject it. His message didn’t just confront their actions—it challenged their beliefs. And they couldn’t handle it.As they dragged him out and stoned him, Stephen responded in a way that defines true Christianity: he prayed.“Lord Jesus, receive my spirit… Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.”Even in death, he reflected Jesus—speaking truth in love and extending forgiveness to those killing him.This episode reminds us that following Christ isn’t about comfort—it’s about conviction. In a world that resists truth, believers must stand firm, speak boldly, and still love deeply.Because real faith doesn’t just declare truth…It demonstrates it.Follow us on Facebook or Instagram or enjoy our blogs and even more episodes at www.presstopray.com!
