What happens when someone chooses to put Jesus first — in a room where faith isn’t expected?
In this episode of The Jesus Effect, Steve McLane reflects on a powerful moment from the Grammys, when Jelly Roll boldly confessed his faith in Jesus on one of the world’s biggest stages. That moment left the room both inspired and uncomfortable — and it reminds us why the name of Jesus still carries power today.
This episode explores:
- Why saying “Jesus” feels different than vague spiritual language
- Why bold faith often makes rooms uncomfortable
- What Jesus Himself said about confessing Him before others
- How your everyday spaces — work, family, friendships — can become your own “stage”
- How small, loving moments of boldness can carry eternal weight
You don’t need a microphone or a spotlight to live bold faith. Sometimes all it takes is the courage to say His name — with love, humility, and truth.
If you’ve ever felt the nudge to speak about Jesus… and hesitated — this episode is for you.
Listen, reflect, and be encouraged to put Jesus first — even when the room gets quiet.
