It's about showing the truth of Jesus in a world that often gets it wrong or fights against us. Based on John 13, John 15, and Ephesians 6, he reminds us that staying strong in Christ’s truth might lead to times when we are rejected. However, our safety doesn’t come from what people think of us; it comes from being held by God. Whether you struggle with seeking approval or are wrestling through relational friction, this message offers grounding hope: you are secure in the Father’s hands, called to love with the power only His Spirit supplies. Scriptures Referenced John 13:34-35, 15:1-19; Ephesians 6:10-17; John 10:27-29; Romans 3:23 Key Insights If your goal is approval, truth will feel optional. You don’t win a spiritual battle by attacking people. If you don’t suit up spiritually, you will show up emotionally. Loving others well comes only through the power of the Holy Spirit, not just willpower. Confession and honest vulnerability build authentic community. https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/hated-but-held Subscribe & Follow the Podcast Download our app Our Website Online Tithes & Offerings Join our Livestream Gathering Times Sundays, 9:00 AM Sundays, 11:00 AM Thursdays, 6:00 PM Contact Info Springhouse Church 14119 Old Nashville Highway Smyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License  2070006","meta_description":"Pastor Kevin talks about a struggle that every believer faces.
