Feeling spiritually isolated and losing your edge? Today on BOLD STEPS, Mark Jobe explains why we need each other to maintain spiritual confidence.  From Hebrews 10, we’ll see how to spur one another on toward love and good deeds, and understand why remembering our early days of zeal is crucial for finishing strong.

Londoners — and besties — Maisey Redman and Emily Beaney join Sadie for a real talk about calling, purpose, ministry, finding home in new places, and what it actually looks like to say yes to what God’s telling you to do. They also share why they’re both fired up about revival happening in the UK.

Maisey just moved back to London and opens up about the powerful moment she knew God had seen her and heard her prayers — it was His way of saying, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Emily shares how she first stepped into the influencer world and how she’s turned her platform into a ministry that points everything back to Jesus.

The two also get honest about not being the “cool girls” growing up, why that’s ended up being one of the best things for their faith, and how they’ve learned to walk closely with God—even when life feels a little lonely. Listen to UK MP Danny Kruger's speech in the House of Commons on "Christian Restoration in the UK" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JlYf_VGv64

One of life's harshest realities is failure. The very sound of the word seems harsh to our sensibilities. We even harbor the age-old axiom, "Failure is not an option!" But failure is an option; in fact, it's a certainty. But discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping-stones to victory. In a post-resurrection interview, Jesus restores Peter with a fresh commission. If you have failed in your spiritual experience (and who hasn't), these principles will inspire.

Who will the world follow in the last days? Pastor Skip reveals what the Bible says about the Antichrist—and why knowing the truth matters before deception comes.

Jessica Rose experienced deep wounds in childhood and learned a painful lesson early in life: girls get hurt. As she entered her teenage years, she tried to numb the ache of her early trauma by seeking comfort in relationships with women, who felt like a safe refuge. Over time, however, her own body began to feel like the enemy. In an effort to escape that pain and reinvent herself, she took on a new identity as a trans man named Aiden.

That was only the beginning of Jessica’s journey. Through a near-fatal suicide attempt and a life-changing encounter with God, she found the courage to stop taking testosterone and begin the process of healing. Jessica’s story is a powerful reminder that true restoration does not come from escaping who we are, but from finding our identity in Christ.

The world promises freedom through self-reinvention or surgical transformation, yet those paths often lead only to deeper emptiness. Lasting peace and purpose can be found only in Him, the One who makes all things new.
