In this episode of Christian True Crime Junkies, we explore the true story of Stephen, the first Christian martyr, recorded in the book of Acts. Jaime Hampton and Alana Terry walk through the events that led to his arrest, his bold defense before the Sanhedrin, and the powerful faith he displayed even as he faced death.

Stephen's final moments—seeing heaven opened and praying for those who were killing him—offer one of the most moving pictures of grace in the New Testament. His death also sparked a wave of persecution that helped spread the gospel beyond Jerusalem.

Join us as we unpack this biblical true crime story and reflect on what Stephen's courage and faith can teach believers today.
