What do you do when mentioning Jesus makes the room go quiet? Or when your faith makes you the “weird one” in your family, school, or job?

In today’s Between the Verses episode, we talk about how to stay faithful in a world that often rolls its eyes at Christianity. We look back at Stephen in Acts 6–7 — his gentle, steady courage — and ask what that looks like in today's world, when people mock, misunderstand, or dismiss your faith.

This episode is for anyone who prays over their lunch even when coworkers stare. For the student who feels alone in their faith. And for the one who loves Jesus but feels tired of being misunderstood.

🌿In today's episode, we'll talk about why gentle, steady faith matters more than loud arguments. How to respond when people mock or push back against your beliefs. Why you don’t have to defend God — just reflect Him. And practical ways to live “even if” kind of faith this week

✨ Reflection questions are in the show notes and on Instagram (@theevenifproject) if you want to journal, study deeper, or use them with friends.

Take a breath, grab your coffee, and let’s talk about what it looks like to love Jesus — even if culture doesn’t understand.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

1. Where do you feel tempted to hide your faith just so you don’t stand out?
2. What would quiet courage look like there — not louder, just steady and unashamed?

3. Has someone’s reaction to your faith ever hurt more than you admitted?
4. Who might be quietly watching your faith more than they’re listening to your words?

• 5. What is one small “even if” step you can take this week?
