Episode 243: A Faith That Matters

Write this Down! with Dot Bowen

What does it really mean to live with bold faith? In this conversation, Dot and Cara look at the story of Peter in Acts 4 and talk about what changed in him after he denied Christ and then witnessed the resurrection. They unpack why bold faith isn’t about personality or volume—it’s about living out what you believe and being willing to share the good news about your rescued life when those around you get curious. Grab your Bible, journal, and a cup of coffee, and join in the conversation!

Scripture Verse: Acts 4:10-13 (ESV)
"Let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
