In Week 16 of "Unhindered," we walk through Acts 22:30–24:27, where Paul stands before three powerful authorities and turns every accusation into an opportunity to proclaim the gospel. Most of us, when accused or under pressure, instinctively protect ourselves, but Paul instinctively preaches. What empowered that kind of courage? What gives a person confidence in the face of threats and persecution? This week we explore four foundations from Paul's life with the hope of being strengthened in these areas ourselves: a clear conscience that comes from living with integrity, the knowledge that God shows up in the dark and not just in the victories, a deep trust in God's providence to use even the most unlikely people and circumstances to accomplish His plans, and a mission so much bigger than personal comfort that the fear of man simply loses its grip. Whatever you're facing right now, this message is an invitation to hear and hold onto the same words Jesus spoke to Paul in the middle of his darkest night: "Take courage."
