We confront and crucify our temptation to fear, which causes us to avoid suffering and thereby hinders our courageous confession of Christ and Him crucified. Suffering aided the early church’s evangelism efforts, and it will improve ours as we suffer minor annoyances or even martyrdom. Robert Lockett encourages us to drive to the truth in a new segment on the show, demonstrating that Christians don’t give up when mocked for Christ and that you don’t have to be a pastor to be in the fray. Oh, and Kirk Cameron sings A Mighty Fortress Is Our God!
