How Will You Remain Steadfast, Stable, Unmoved?

Paul’s exhortation in Colossians 1:23 is sobering and sweet: we are called to be women who hold fast our confession of faith, abounding in what God has entrusted to us, and minister out of a posture of humble resilience. How do we do this when we’re weary and disheartened? When loved ones and respected leaders step away from biblical faith, and perhaps renounce the gospel all together? Our God is our Rock, an Immovable Mountain of Strength and Comfort for us, and this makes all the difference at the street-level of our daily lives as leaders.
