“This Path Isn’t Popular”
📖 “If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you…”
—John 15:20a (NKJV)
Let’s be real—no one likes to be hated.
But Jesus didn’t sugarcoat it:
If you follow Him, people won’t always like it.
You might be left out.
You might be mocked.
You might even be labeled as “judgy” just for standing on truth.
But here’s the truth Jesus wants you to hold onto:
🔹 He was hated too.
🔹 He never gave up.
🔹 He promises to walk with you.
When you live like Jesus, you’re going to bump up against a world that doesn’t want Him.
But don’t let that silence your faith or dim your fire.
You’re not living for likes—you’re living for life.
And the One who was persecuted now strengthens you to stand.
Challenge:
- Where are you tempted to stay silent or hide your faith?
- What would it look like to choose Jesus over approval this week?
Prayer:
Jesus, help me remember that following You won’t always be popular, but it will always be worth it. Give me courage to stand, to speak, and to keep walking with You. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
