Would you die for your faith?
It’s a question most Christians avoid—but one Jesus never softened.

In this episode of Truth Behind the Mike, Mike Stone challenges believers to confront the real cost of following Jesus.

We live in a culture where faith is often comfortable—but what happens when it isn’t?

What happens when following Christ costs you your reputation… your relationships… your career… or even your life?

Using both Scripture and real-world examples, this episode explores:
* The difference between cultural Christianity and true discipleship
* Where modern believers tend to “draw the line”
* Why Jesus called us to take up our cross—not just believe
* How recent events are forcing people to rethink what faith really means

This isn’t about fear.
It’s not about politics.

It’s about one question:

Is your faith real… if it only exists when it’s safe?
