Faith Like Flint: Becoming Unshakeable

-

    


    The world is loud. Full of doubt, distraction, and people determined to discredit faith. And I’ve walked through that noise with my face set like flint.

    My faith was tested most when I left my family behind. I stepped away from everything I knew, into a world where belief in God wasn’t just ignored—it was mocked. The number of unbelievers out there is staggering, and many are vocal about it. But here’s the truth: talking freely about God has set me free in ways I didn’t think possible. It changed everything.

    I realized that most people who’ve rejected God never actually gave Him a real chance. They’ve read headlines, not the Word. They’ve heard lies, not love. But the moment I started actually reading the Bible—*really* reading it—my spirit shifted. I saw a Father full of mercy, compassion, and patience. People love to focus on the wrath. But what I see? Is a loving Dad who never gave up on His kids.


What Faith Like Flint Really Means

    To me, having faith like flint means that the light is already in me. And that light? It’s meant to *spark* something in others. I’m not just called to believe. I’m called to ignite. To lead. To walk boldly, even when the ground shakes.

    When people don’t understand, I stay steady. I remind myself—they just don’t get it yet. Cognitive dissonance is real, and it’s hard to overcome. But God has given me peace in the middle of their confusion. My job isn’t to argue—it’s to *live* the truth.

    What’s helped me build stronger faith? Listening to Scripture. Meditating on it. Letting it reach me personally instead of being filtered through someone else’s doctrine. When I see what God highlights in my heart, it’s undeniable. His voice is everywhere when I actually listen.



For the One Who’s Tired

    If you’re walking through fire, if you’re doubting everything, if you’re just *tired*—I see you.

I almost gave up once, too.

    But I promise you, redemption is real. Healing is real. Peace is waiting. All you have to do is start walking with God. It’s easier than you think. And things really *do* get better. Not perfect. But better. Fuller. Holier. Brighter.
