Today on You Can Handle the Truth! we’re talking about faith under fire—literally and figuratively.

Rob and Stephanie Krop are a married couple from Frederick, Maryland, who found their faith tested in an unimaginable way. Rob, co-owner of The Machine Gun Nest, was federally indicted in 2023 under newly reinterpreted ATF regulations that criminalized actions once considered legal. Stephanie, his wife and business partner, stood beside him through every moment—leaning on God, prayer, and Scripture to find peace in the chaos.

This is a story of endurance, courage, and the kind of faith that holds steady when life feels unfair. Rob shares how his personal walk with Christ deepened as he faced the real possibility of prison. Stephanie reveals how she fought fear, anchored herself in Scripture, and learned to trust God one day at a time.

Their journey reminds us that even when the system fails, God never does—and that peace is possible when your faith stands firm.

📖 Scripture Highlight: Isaiah 43:2 — “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned.”

Watch this powerful testimony of faith, perseverance, and God’s victory through trials.
