She is doing the Lord’s work
At the heart of the Passion 2024 event in Atlanta, Sadie Robertson Huff delivered a stirring challenge to thousands of young attendees, urging them to embrace, embody, and share the profound narrative of the Bible. Speaking at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Jan. 3, the 26-year-old podcaster and author provoked the audience with a powerful question: “Why hesitate in sharing the most incredible story that has the potential to transform anyone’s life?”
With a poignant emphasis on the enduring potency of the Bible amid an ever-evolving culture, Huff delved into the misconception that God’s existence hinges on life unfolding perfectly. She highlighted that it’s not in moments of ease or perfection that affirm God’s reality, but rather in the crucible of hardship where His unwavering faithfulness becomes palpable.
Acknowledging the prevailing chaos and adversity, Huff echoed a resolute commitment to her faith, declaring, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” She passionately urged the audience not to allow this transformative story to be forgotten or disregarded, stressing the importance of preserving it for future generations amidst a world turning to alternative beliefs.
Her address inaugurated Passion 2024, a three-day event focused on uniting individuals aged 18-25 in worship, prayer, and advocacy for spiritual revival. Reflecting on a past encounter where she was questioned about the practicality of God’s existence, Huff shared her personal struggle to respond adequately, ultimately finding solace in the Bible as the foundation of her faith.
Drawing parallels between her own journey and that of King Josiah, who discovered the Book of the Law at a pivotal moment, Huff emphasized the need for personal engagement with scripture. She challenged the audience to move beyond superficial familiarity and truly internalize the Bible’s profound significance.
Highlighting the transformative power of firsthand experience and knowledge, Huff likened genuine belief in God to fervent support for favorite athletes, asserting that knowing God’s reality stems from understanding His narrative and observing its impact on individual lives.
In an emotive moment, she emphasized that while tangible displays of God’s existence could occur, the true essence of belief lies in the profound influence of the Bible’s narrative. Urging the audience to share the Gospel fearlessly, she likened it to the ease of digital information sharing, encouraging them to rise above apprehensions of judgment or persecution.
Encouraging steadfastness in faith akin to biblical figures like Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, and Daniel, influenced by the era of King Josiah, Huff concluded with a rallying cry to internalize and share the enduring narrative of God’s love and redemption. The event also featured speakers like Louie Giglio, Levi Lusko, and Jonathan Pokluda, accompanied by performances from Crowder, KB, Phil Wickham, Brandon Lake, and more.
