Stephen the Martyr
Break a Man, Light the Flame
This isn’t a hymnal; it’s a trial transcript with the gain turned up. Twenty tracks walk straight through Acts 6–8—chosen to serve, anointed to speak, out-arguing the opposition, framed in court, face like an angel, then the verbal hammer: “You stiff-necked…” Heaven splits, the Son of Man stands, the mob surges, and Stephen prays, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit… do not hold this sin against them.”
Guitars snarl, drums march, lyrics don’t blink. It’s courage under pressure, conviction without spin, and mercy when it costs blood. You can break the messenger; you can’t kill the message. This record is the sound of a spark becoming a wildfire.
