Overcoming Insecurity: Sean's Testimony

Overcome Insecurity

“Never underestimate the power of your voice and the impact you can have on the world when you speak up for what you believe in.” –Charlie Kirk

Everyone wrestles with insecurities—especially when it comes to sharing our faith. We know we’re commanded to share it. We know it should be natural to want to share it. Yet many believers feel so insecure that they cling to the false idea: “Since Jesus loves everyone and died for everyone, then everyone is already saved—so I can keep my faith private.”

But your faith was never meant to be private. It’s meant to be lived out loud—through words and deeds—always pointing people to Christ.

Here’s the truth: even as a seasoned missionary, I still find it difficult to step out in faith. No one wants to be judged, rejected, or shut down. Many don’t know what to say, how to say it, or how to answer challenges like atheism or evolution. Christianity is not an easy faith—but it is possible, because “all things are possible to him who believes.”

As a teenager, my idea of sharing my faith was wearing Christian t-shirts. I was a walking billboard for Jesus, and honestly, that was the most I could handle at the time. God had a different plan—one that involved not just wearing the message, but speaking it. Boldly. In front of crowds. Or even just face-to-face with someone who needed the Gospel.

Everything changed the summer before my junior year at youth camp. One night, the speaker gave a powerful message, walking us through, in graphic medical detail, what Jesus physically endured: the flogging, the crown of thorns, the Via Dolorosa, the cross. It wasn’t sugarcoated. Hundreds of us sat in stunned silence.

Then came the challenge. No music, no altar call. Just a simple invitation: “Stand—if you’re ready to live fully and fearlessly for the One who died for you.”

One person stood. A heartbeat later, I stood too. That was my moment. God broke the chains of fear and filled me with boldness. From that day on, I knew: I wouldn’t just wear the message—I would speak it.
