Martyrs: Here Is The Patience of the Saints | The Holy Espresso Podcast

From the story of Stephen in Acts to the apostles, early church believers, and modern-day persecution, We explore what it truly means to be a faithful witness for Jesus Christ, even unto death. What gives believers the strength to endure suffering, persecution, and even death without denying Christ? Is martyrdom a calling, a gift, or the ultimate expression of faith?
