This message closes out our Stories I Thought I Knew series with one of the most well-known accounts in Scripture: Daniel and the lions’ den.

Daniel refused to compromise his faith, even when it meant being thrown into a pit surrounded by lions. Instead of fear, he chose trust. God’s power shut the lions’ mouths and turned what looked like certain defeat into a testimony of deliverance.

What about you? What are the “lions” in your life right now—fear, pressure, temptation, or the urge to compromise? This story challenges us to hold on to faith when everything around us seems impossible.

Join us as we reflect on how to stand firm in the face of trials, how to trust God with the outcomes we cannot control, and how to live with courage no matter what threatens to shake our faith.

If you’ve ever wondered what it means to live without compromise, this message will encourage and challenge you to let God’s presence carry you through.
