In this episode we'll look at the life of Stephen who was the 1st martyr of the early church in the book of Acts.  Stephen was a person that represented strength, who didn't back down when his life was threatened.    We can be encouraged that our commitment to live godly lives will be a testimony to those around us.  It's important that we practice the art of celebrating the good in lives.    

I share about practice the FCA staff I was on had in terms of celebrating victories, and always noticed that these times created momentum and creativity for the rest of staff.  When we're focused on the person of Jesus there is nothing that can shake us and we live from a place of strength.  Our strength in those moments will influence others in a powerful way that will lead them to the nature of God!
