Defend, Deny, or Demonstrate Christ?

Welcome to a new episode of The F.I.T. in Faith Podcast with Tamra Andress, where she discusses the significance of staying in rhythm and endurance in the idea of defend, deny, or demonstrate Christ.

She is excited to share her upcoming plans, including attending a worship revival experience called “Restore the Roar” in Denver with her husband. She mentions how important Denver and Red Rock Theater hold special places in her heart.

Tamra shares that she has been studying 2 Samuel and the book of John, particularly focusing on the story of Peter denying Christ. She poses three essential questions: Are you defending Christ, denying Christ, or demonstrating Christ?

Tamra talks about Peter’s experiences, denying Christ to his face and then denying Him three times to strangers. She highlights the importance of knowing Christ’s identity to demonstrate Him fully.

Tamra explains that people sometimes defend or deny Christ because they have created a story in their minds based on their own agenda and fixate on it. This leads to church hurt and relational issues.

She emphasizes that it is not our job to convict others but to demonstrate Christ by knowing Him intimately and spending time in His Word. Tamra urges listeners to let Christ speak through them and love others through Christ’s character.

She advises that in parenting and relationships, we should be careful of the exposure we provide and ensure we demonstrate Christ’s character in our actions and words.

Tamra shares her personal struggles in business and wanting what’s fair, but she realizes that righteousness, not fairness, is the reward. She emphasizes the importance of love and demonstrates Christ in all things.

Tamra concludes by reminding listeners that despite our shortcomings and mistakes, Christ is always the reward when we remember Him and allow His Holy Spirit to work through us.
