THE DEPOT PODCAST: Is All That You Do Worth It? (Acts 14)

Facing persecution, including harassment and stoning, was something the early disciples experienced. Yet, they didn’t let any of it stop them from sharing the Good News. They persevered at all costs because everything they did for the Gospel was worth it. Every life, every healing, every miracle, every new church birthed…all of it was worth it because they knew it was what they were called to do.
