Got a question? Let us know!

This week on Made For Mondays, Joe hosts with Heather, Jamey, and RaChelle for a powerful and eye-opening conversation on persecution, justice, and what it means to be an irresistible, resurrection-shaped church.

The crew kicks things off with weekend stories and Bible Reading Challenge reflections before diving into a What the What?! question from Zach: How do we know Paul wasn’t just using Jesus’ return as a motivational tactic—like Santa for grown-ups? Jamey breaks down why the early church lived with such confidence in Jesus’ return and why their hope was grounded in reality, not rhetoric.

In the Sunday Dish, Heather recaps her message and gives a behind-the-scenes look at ICN (International Church Network) and what it means for Believers to be part of a global movement of churches. The team swaps their favorite ICN stories, talks faith on road trips, and unpacks a powerful testimony from a persecuted believer in China that reshaped their perspective on faith, suffering, and spiritual grit.

Listeners also sent in two big questions:
• How do we “leave room for God’s wrath” and pursue justice without revenge?
• What does an irresistible, resurrection-centered church actually look like in a comfortable, Western context?

Jamey and Heather work through these with honesty and clarity.

Finally, the team walks through this week’s Next Steps, rooted in 2 Thessalonians 1:11–12—three practical practices designed to help all of us deepen our faith, love others well, and stand with the global church.

💡 Next Steps:

Pray 2 Thessalonians 1:11–12 each morning

Show Jesus’ love to one person in a tangible way

Fast from one meal to pray for persecuted believers
