This message kicks off Stand Out, a teaching series through the book of Daniel. In Daniel chapter 1, we meet a teenager taken into exile, pressured to compromise, and offered comfort in exchange for conviction. Daniel’s response was simple but powerful: he resolved in his heart.

In this message, we explore:

• How identity determines obedience

• Why miracles, favor, and equipping follow obedience

• What fasting really is — and why it creates space for God to move
