Living Up to Your Name

Share a comment

What does it mean to live up to your name? For believers, the title “Christian” isn’t just a personal label—it’s a public declaration that you belong to Jesus Christ. That identity brings both privilege and responsibility. In Going Public, Part 2, Stephen Davey explores Acts 4 and the example of the early believers who bore Christ’s name boldly in a hostile world. Their courage, consistency, and compassion not only honored the Lord but also left a lasting impression on those around them.

This episode challenges us to consider how our identity in Christ shapes our conduct in everyday life—whether at work, at school, or in our communities. When people know you follow Jesus, they’ll watch to see if your life aligns with your claim. Through biblical insight and practical application, Stephen Davey encourages you to live so that your name and your testimony speak the same message.

If you’ve ever wondered how to represent Christ well in a skeptical culture—or felt the weight of carrying His name—this message will equip and inspire you to live in a way that honors Him and draws others to the gospel.
