320 // Be the Light in a Dark World | Standing Firm in Faith Through Persecution!

Author: Stacey Ziegler October 28, 2025 Duration: 27:03
In a world growing darker by the day—where churches are being burned, believers mocked, and truth twisted—God still calls us to be the light.

In this episode, we dive into 1 John chapters 1–4 to rediscover what it means to walk in the light, even when surrounded by persecution, fear, and confusion. This isn’t the time to hide your faith—it’s the time to shine brighter for Christ.

💛 Whether you feel weary, fearful, or unsure of what’s ahead, remember:

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:5

Join me as we talk about:
✨ Standing firm in your faith amid chaos
✨ How to keep hope alive when the world feels dark
✨ Why walking in God’s light brings peace and clarity
✨ The power of love and truth in 1 John

🌻 Scripture Focus: 1 John 1–4, John 1:5, Matthew 5:14–16

👋 I'm Stacey Ziegler — a Catholic wife, mom of 3, and certified life, health, and fitness coach. I help women walk in healing, peace, and purpose—body, mind, and soul.

✨ What you’ll find here: 

• Scripture-based reflections
• Wellness & menopause support
• Faith-filled routines & holy habits
• Real-life stories of transformation
