  Hello. Welcome to the No Guy Coach
• 0:02
  Huddle for December 9, 2025. Your
• 0:05
  two-minute play of the day for applying
• 0:07
  God's word in your life. So, let's
• 0:08
  huddle up and hear today's play from
• 0:10
  First Peter 5. Says, "Be alert and of
• 0:13
  sober mind. Your enemy, the devil,
• 0:15
  prowls around like a roaring lying,
• 0:18
  looking for someone to devour. Resist
• 0:20
  him standing firm in a faith because you
• 0:22
  know that the family of believers
• 0:24
  throughout the world is undergoing the
• 0:26
  same kind of sufferings." Men, let's get
• 0:29
  real. The lion is roaring and many of
• 0:32
  our brothers across the world are
• 0:34
  feeling his teeth right now. Christians
• 0:37
  in places like Nigeria and Ethiopia are
• 0:39
  being hunted down and killed by violent
• 0:42
  Muslims. Our brothers and sisters in
• 0:45
  China, Korea, and other oppressive
• 0:47
  regimes are being crushed because they
• 0:49
  bear the name of Jesus. This isn't new.
• 0:52
  This is the legacy of the cross. Christ
• 0:55
  suffered. His people suffer. And our
• 0:57
  suffering reveals the power of God in
• 1:00
  us. Suffering isn't a sign of God's
• 1:02
  absence. It's a sign of our allegiance.
• 1:06
  We suffer to show that the love of God
• 1:08
  is stronger than the hatred of men. We
• 1:10
  suffer to prove God's righteousness
• 1:12
  against the darkness of the world. And
• 1:14
  we suffer because Christ suffered. And
• 1:16
  obedience always costs something. But
• 1:19
  here's the part we often forget in
• 1:21
  America. The lion is roaring here also.
• 1:25
  We may not face machetes or prison
• 1:27
  camps, but we are facing the pressure to
• 1:29
  be quiet, to blend in, and to avoid
• 1:32
  offending anyone with the truth of Jesus
• 1:34
  Christ. We fear losing business, and we
• 1:37
  fear family conflict. We fear the scorn
• 1:39
  of the culture. But if we don't identify
• 1:42
  with Jesus now, then the cost is small.
• 1:45
  And how will we stand later when the
• 1:47
  cost becomes more real? Brother,
• 1:50
  suffering isn't the enemy. Silence is,
• 1:53
  comfort is, compromise is. We must
• 1:56
  choose suffering before suffering
• 1:58
  chooses us. That means we willingly lay
• 2:01
  down our pleasure so we can lift up our
• 2:03
  persecuted brothers in prayer. We lay
• 2:05
  down our treasure so we can provide for
• 2:07
  believers who have lost everything. We
• 2:10
  lay down our reputation so our neighbors
• 2:12
  can hear the only name that saves. If we
• 2:15
  hide Christ, the enemy wins without even
• 2:18
  roaring. So run today's play. Identify
• 2:21
  yourself openly with Jesus. Pray for a
• 2:24
  persecuted brother by name. Give
• 2:26
  something meaningful to support
• 2:27
  believers suffering for Christ. Speak
• 2:30
  the name of Jesus at home, at work, in
• 2:33
  conversation boldly and lovingly. Men,
• 2:36
  the lion's roaring. Stand firm. Resist
• 2:39
  him. Join the family of believers
• 2:41
  worldwide who refuse to bow to fear.
• 2:44
  This is the call. This is the mission.
• 2:46
  This is today's play. Run it with
• 2:48
  courage. Thanks for joining the huddle.
