Chocolate Soldiers Part 1

Share a comment

Are you ready to be a soldier of Christ who doesn’t melt under pressure? In today’s episode, Stephen Davey unpacks Titus 1:8-9 and examines what it takes to be a true leader in the church—someone who won't crumble when challenges arise. Drawing inspiration from a Chinese missionary leader and the words of C.T. Studd, we’re reminded that God is not in the business of creating "Chocolate Christians"—those who look strong but dissolve when life gets tough. Instead, He calls us to a higher standard of character, dedication, and resilience. This episode is not just about qualifications for elders; it’s about the kind of inner strength all believers are called to develop. We’ll explore the importance of holding fast to God’s Word, standing firm in doctrine, and showing practical courage in the face of opposition. Whether you’re in a leadership role or simply seeking to grow in your faith, today's message challenges us to leave behind the "Chocolate Soldier" mentality and embrace a life of steadfast devotion to Christ, no matter the cost. Listen in and be inspired to live a life that is unwavering in both the easy and the difficult moments.
