He’s confronting pride and performance. True prayer and true witness both flow from a heart that seeks God’s approval, not man’s.If you’ve ever been discouraged from sharing the Gospel publicly, or if you’ve been told “just keep it private,” this episode is for you.🎧 Full episode drops soon — subscribe so you don’t miss it!#StreetPreaching #Matthew6 #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #FaithfulPath #gospelmessage
