Every believer faces moments when sharing their faith feels risky. Like a boxer entering the ring, we know that stepping forward with our testimony might leave us exposed to criticism, rejection, or uncomfortable conversations. Yet the gospel rings loudest when it costs us something - when we're willing to drop our guard and share what God has done in our lives.

Instead of preparing for combat, perhaps it's time to put down the boxing gloves and pick up work gloves. The gospel rings loudest not when we win arguments, but when humble service leads the way.

Life has a way of leaving us running on empty.

In the year 249 AD, the Roman Empire faced a devastating plague that would last 21 years. The Cyprian plague claimed an estimated 5,000 lives daily, reducing Alexandria's population from 500,000 to just 190,000. During this crisis, Cyprian of Carthage, a church leader, wrote to Christians struggling with fear and exhaustion. His powerful words still resonate today: "The trial does not take away our hope. It tests it."
