About this episode

This episode explores the true definition of faith as described in the Bible, contrasting it with common misconceptions.

What is faith? If you were to ask most people, you might hear that it is a form of positive thinking or an intense desire for something to happen. We often treat faith as something we must generate ourselves through sheer willpower. However, this is just wishful thinking, not the biblical faith that God calls us to. True faith is something far deeper and more powerful, and understanding its real definition is essential for every believer. To honor God and live a life that brings Him glory, we must get our minds around what true, biblical faith is all about. The book of Hebrews provides the most direct definition in all of Scripture. As we begin this series on the heroes of the faith, we must first go to God’s Word to understand the very foundation upon which their lives were built: a faith that is not man-made, but God-given.
