Through every setback, the Lord continued to remind the Counteract team that this event belonged to Him. Abigail and Allie reflect on the incredible moments of worship, the conversations that happened throughout the weekend, and how they saw the Lord move in ways they could have never planned themselves.Resolve to Stand may be a rallying point, but the mission does not end when the conference is over. Through Counteract Cells and Christian community across the country, we want to continue equipping believers to stand firm on the truth of God’s Word and boldly live out their faith.LINKS:Follow Abigail on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abigaildejarnatt/Counteract USA: https://counteractusa.org/Follow Counteract USA on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/counteractusa/Follow Counteract USA on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/counteractusa/Herzog Foundation: https://herzogfoundation.com/Real Life Network: https://reallifenetwork.com/Learn more about Counteract Cells and get involved: https://counteractusa.org/MENTIONS: Abigail DeJarnatt, Alli Paris, Counteract USA, Counteract Podcast, Counteract Cells, Resolve to Stand 2026, RTS 2026, Herzog Foundation, Real Life Network, First Baptist Rogers, spiritual warfare, worship, Psalm 37, biblical truth, Christian community, boldness, faith, Christian ministry, biblical worldview
