Drawing from the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3, Cobie encourages young listeners to stay true to their faith, even when the world pressures them to conform.

He describes how these three courageous men refused to worship a golden statue, despite facing death in a fiery furnace. Miraculously, they survived unscathed—with a fourth figure appearing alongside them, believed to be Jesus. The takeaway? Jesus walks through the fire with us.

Cobie connects this powerful biblical story to the challenges of middle school life, where identity is still forming and outside influences like music, media, and peer pressure can lead kids astray. He urges students to surround themselves with positive influences, be unashamed of their faith, and understand their true identity is found in Christ—not the world.

The episode wraps up with an invitation to an upcoming Easter play at his church and a reminder that no one walks alone—Jesus is always with us.

“You can change this school through Jesus Christ.”
