Episode 17: The Persistent Pursuit

What would it look like to stand on the steps of opposition, beaten and falsely accused, and still open your mouth to testify? Pastor Nina walks us through Acts 21–23, where a battered Paul—dragged from the Temple, nearly flogged, and eventually imprisoned for two years—never stops declaring who Jesus is and what He has done. Pastor Nina's distinctive insight is the difference between *resilience* and *resolve*: resilience helps us bounce back, but resolve—the firm, mind-set determination Paul embodied—keeps us moving forward even when the doors stay closed and the waiting feels endless. Ask the Lord for an anointing of resolve, renew your mind, and step boldly into every room He has placed you in—because what He has entrusted to you was never just for you.
