🔰 Introduction “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” —Hebrews 13:8 In every generation, the Spirit of God raises a sound. In the Old Testament, the Book of Psalms was the altar of that sound—where kings wept, prophets warred, and worshippers ascended. Today, in this digital age, that same altar remains open.

Most American Christians have never taken a risk. Most of them stay within familiar…
