Luke 8:38-40 challenges the idea that faith is meant to be lived alone. While personal time with Jesus is essential, Scripture reveals that discipleship was never meant to stop in solitude. Jesus sends the healed man back into community to testify, serve, and live transformed among others. This study explores why “me and Jesus” Christianity falls short and why we are called to be the Church together, as one body, one Spirit, and one witness.

On January 15, 1557, Elizabeth Dirks was drowned for her faith after refusing to recant her obedience to Christ. Her story confronts a hard truth: much of what passes for Christianity has never been tested. Elizabeth did not live for comfort, approval, or safety. She believed Jesus was Lord and that obedience mattered more than life itself. Her quiet faith still speaks to the church today.
