In a world where it's often easier to hide than to stand out, Jesus calls His followers to shine—to radiate the truth, love, and life they’ve received. In this powerful episode, we unpack Luke 8:16–18, where Jesus teaches that no one lights a lamp and hides it. Instead, the lamp is placed on a stand, so its light reaches everyone around. Using cultural and theological context, we explore how first-century homes amplified the symbolism of light, and how Jesus' call still echoes today.

This episode challenges the tendency to shrink back in fear, comparison, or shame. Whether you’re wrestling with imposter syndrome or wondering if your voice matters, this message will remind you: the light wasn’t yours to begin with—it was lit by God. Your only task is to steward it faithfully.

We’ll dive into:

• The difference between shining for applause and shining with purpose
• Why Jesus connects visibility with responsibility ("whoever has will be given more...")
• The psychology of visibility—how fear and self-doubt can keep us hidden
• The habits of high-impact individuals who live from a place of inner authenticity and alignment

With the story of real-life Christian inspiration Phillis Wheatley, you’ll see how God can use even the most unlikely vessels to carry His light. If you’ve ever questioned your worth or wrestled with whether your small light matters, this episode will remind you: when you shine, you point the way—not to yourself, but to the One who lit the flame.

Thank you for support and message :)
