Unlearn #1: peers will persecute you for your faith

• Will your peers and teachers really persecute you for your faith?

Reading from a Relevant Magazine article on youth-group lessons to unlearn, the hosts take up lesson one: that classmates and teachers will persecute you for your faith. They agree the fear was overblown — most hostility they remember was their own awkwardness, disagreement is not persecution, and real biblical persecution was martyrdom, not a classmate disagreeing. One host reframes evangelism as playing offense for Jesus rather than defense against the world.
