The Cost of Compromise: Why the World Hates Godly Men
Show Summary:
In this bold and helpful episode of Warriors of Grace, Dave Jenkins unpacks why the world hates godly men—and why many within the church try to soften that hatred.
Drawing from John 15, 2 Timothy 3, and examples like Daniel, John the Baptist, and the Apostles, this episode highlights:
- The slow drift into compromise
- The rise of soft evangelicalism
- The call to live without apology for Christ
📖 Key Scriptures:
- John 15:18–19
- 2 Timothy 3:12
- Daniel 3
- Acts 5
- Proverbs 29:25
- 1 Corinthians 16:13–14
Men of God, it’s time to stop seeking the world’s approval and start standing firm for Christ—clearly, courageously, and faithfully.
