Do you as a preacher, or if you are not a preacher, does your preacher have the passion of Paul, who reminded the Ephesian elders of the troubles before him, but that those things would not stop him,

“And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there, except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God” (Acts 20:22–24).

When you read of his ministry in the Books of Acts, you will see that he spoke the truth about himself, and he eventually died for the faith that he preached.
