When Christians first emerged in the Roman Empire, they were seen as a fringe group defying tradition, power, and even death itself. In this episode, we explore how the radical courage of early believers—facing persecution, martyrdom, and cultural opposition—sparked a quiet revolution that eventually reshaped the most powerful empire in the world. What was it about their steadfastness that Rome couldn’t crush? And how does that kind of courage still challenge us today?

Discussion Questions:

  1. Why do you think early Christian courage stood out so much in Roman society?
  2. What modern examples of Christian courage can you think of?
  3. How can we develop a courageous faith in our daily lives?
