If people can faithfully support someone who is wicked, then why can’t Christians faithfully support God? Think about it. People will defend celebrities, politicians, influencers, and all kinds of people who have no real power outside of what God allows them to have. They’ll argue online, make videos, wear their merchandise, and stand by them no matter what. But when it comes to talking about Jesus, suddenly people get quiet. It’s like the cat has their tongue.

They’re worried about what someone might think. They’re afraid of being judged. They’re embarrassed to speak up. Yet they’ll boldly defend someone who can’t save them, heal them, or give them eternal life. God has all power. If we’re willing to stand behind people who are flawed, why is it so hard to stand behind the One who created us?

Nobody should be forced to believe what someone else believes. We all have the freedom to make our own choices. But if someone has the freedom to openly support the things they believe in, then Christians should have that same freedom to openly share their faith without feeling ashamed.

The truth is, when you genuinely believe in God, there will be times when you feel like you’re standing alone. Not everyone will understand you. Not everyone will agree with you. The people who truly recognize what God is doing aren’t always the majority.

But that shouldn’t change your conviction. I believe in God enough to stand my ground. If someone else can boldly stand behind what they believe—even when I disagree with it—then I can boldly stand behind Jesus without apology. Faith was never meant to be hidden.
