Stephen
Acts 7, Stephen is on trail because people stirred up the crowd, saying that he was going against Moses and God. Stephen tells the story from his perspective from Abraham (Gen. 12 all the way through Solomon, and the temple). My friend Justin has a post about knowing the story that drives your life. We Stephen knew well God's story and how he fits in.
Acts 7 is his telling of it. Towards the end of his speach he goes off on the Sanhedrin, calling them stiff-necked people always resisting the work of God. Stephen saw heaven open, was stoned and goes out in the spirit of Jesus saying, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them."
Stephen inspires me, to more deeply understand my place in God's story, and to have boldness and follow Jesus in all things.
