About this episode
A meditation on the subversive nature of declaring one's faith in Christ amidst cultural pressures.
Samuel Adams was called ”the grand incendiary”. He was a man whose words were so dangerous the British sent soldiers to silence him. In a culture that prefers spiritual language tame and private, the simple sentence ”I follow Christ” remains one of the most subversive things a person can say. A meditation on identity, pressure, and the long arc of faithful witness, from 1 Peter 2.
