God never tests the dream, only the dreamer
Jesus doesn't promise that if we become his followers he’ll shield us from suffering. In fact, it's just the opposite! When we become serious about spreading the truth of Jesus, we become willing to risk EVERYTHING.

The Unseen Side
In any dangerous church, there will be a unseen side that is rarely talked about. A dangerous church will experience pain, risk, and loss. Are you willing to give up something that you love, for something that you love even more? Are you willing to suffer and experience pain to honor Christ? I can promise you that the eternal rewards will be worth the risk.

The Confusing Path Toward Confident Faith
When we look to Jesus, we do not find the type of “trying harder” faith that is often suggested by well-meaning Christians. Instead, we find him teaching us about a faith that will face our situations. This is the kind of faith that pleases God. In the midst of the chaos of life and at the end of your resources, you are just where God wants you to be. This is the moment of chaotic faith. This is what Charles Spurgeon called “seeking faith.” Chaotic faith is marked by desperation. How does confident faith grow from the moment that we have called Chaotic faith? The faith that emerges from the chaos is ultimately a gift from God.
