In today’s world, cancel culture is everywhere—people are publicly shamed, pressured, or even ostracized for their beliefs. But what happens when it’s your faith that’s under fire? How do you stand strong when society tells you to sit down and stay quiet?

In this episode of The Youth Room, Jordan and Daniel dive into what it means to remain steadfast in your faith despite opposition. You’ll discover:

🔹 What cancel culture is and how it impacts Christians
🔹 Why biblical truth often conflicts with cultural trends
🔹 How to stay rooted in Scripture and stand firm with confidence
🔹 The power of responding with truth and love rather than outrage
🔹 Why expecting opposition is part of following Christ—and how to trust God through it

📖 Featured Scriptures:

• John 15:18-19 – The world’s rejection of Christ and His followers
• 1 Peter 3:15 – Defending your faith with gentleness and respect
• Romans 12:2 – Transforming your mind instead of conforming to culture

Standing firm in a cancel culture isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. When you choose to stand for Christ, you choose eternity over approval.
