Ever feel like the world just doesn't get you or, worse, actively works against your faith in Jesus Christ? Dave and Jeremy discuss why we shouldn't be shocked by hostility from the world around us. They connect John’s warning to Jesus’ words in the Upper Room and the ancient story of Cain, reminding us that being on the winning team doesn't mean skipping the storm. We are here to represent the Father with humility and grace, even when it’s hard. "Do not be surprised, brothers and sisters, if the world hates you." — 1 John 3:13. Are you responding to hostility with the humility to sacrifice yourself for others, or are you isolating yourself in a self-fulfilling prophecy of being a jerk? Share today’s reflection with someone who feels discouraged by the world’s opposition.
