Uncompromising Faith: Lessons from Daniel

In this video, we walk through Daniel 1 and see how four young men stayed faithful to God while living in the heart of Babylon’s culture. Their story shows that even when your environment changes, your identity in God does not have to.​

We look at Daniel’s decision not to defile himself with the king’s food, why that mattered spiritually, and how God honored his obedience with wisdom, influence, and favor. Along the way, you will find practical lessons on setting holy non‑negotiables, resisting cultural pressure, and trusting God’s sovereignty in hard seasons
