Your Faith Feels Strong—Until It Costs You Something. My Interview with Cissie Graham Lynch

What does it take to stand for Christ when your convictions become unpopular—and how can you tell whether you're defending your faith or simply defending your side?

In this episode of the Cold Case Christianity Podcast, J. Warner Wallace welcomes Cissie Graham Lynch to discuss her new book, Stand Steady: Fearless Faith in a Compromising Culture.

Moving beyond the usual cultural talking points, this conversation explores what Christians may be overlooking, how the church can better prepare believers, and why courage requires more than knowing which positions to defend. Cissie and J. Warner examine the relationship between conviction and humility, the cost of faithfulness, and the everyday preparation that helps Christians respond to pressure without surrendering truth or compassion.

🔎 Topics include:

• The concerns that compelled Cissie to write Stand Steady
• Counterfeit strength in the culture—and inadequate preparation in the church
• Cultural pressures that quietly shape our thinking
• Examining our motives when our own side applauds
• Supporting believers who experience the cost of their convictions
• Recognizing spiritual growth even when circumstances remain difficult
