3. Faith, Unbelief, and Overcoming Culture

- Scriptural promise: God’s blessing is all-encompassing, regardless of background or social constructs.

"An ordinary weak man and an ordinary weak woman, [faith] turns them into a supernatural being. ... My speech-impaired, weak self got swallowed up in the Christ who lives in me. Hallelujah."
