Welcome to Courageous Leadership with Virginia Prodan #Podcast. Simon Guillebaud- UK Missionary and Podcast Host - our guest. As a missionary, Simon moved to Bujumbura in his 20s after receiving a stark instruction from God, and then, since meeting his wife, Lizzie, in 2002, has spent more than a decade bringing his family up there. Simon learned that "when you live expecting to die, it's a great way to live." Sometimes, when he say that, people think that he is a nut job. But if you live expecting to die, you prioritize people over stuff; you want to have short accounts; you want to resolve any grudges you've got with anyone; you want to receive and offer forgiveness; you don't get excited about stuff, because you're not going to take stuff with you. Some 164,000 people have become Christians through his ministry, and so this self-confessed “extreme extrovert” is full to bursting with extraordinary stories of the power of God, lurching from one miraculous tale to another. Whether you're searching for encouragement, answers to cultural challenges, or practical steps to live boldly in your faith, this channel will equip you to stand strong. I am Virginia Prodan - the host —an international human rights attorney, #keynote #speaker, #author of *Saving My Assassin*, and survivor of socialist Romania.

Welcome to Courageous Leadership with Virginia Prodan #Podcast. Topic: Our Freedom Is Under Attack - Virginia Prodan - Socialist dissident in America - Freedom is Precious. The egregious assault on a house of worship in Minnesota on Sunday, January 18, 2026, should serve as a wake-up call for every American who values freedom.   This is socialism in action. Christians are facing in America not only over the world unprecedented challenges as the most persecuted religious group in our nation, with increasing hostility from those who wish to silence our faith.  The mob protesters did not merely interrupt a service; they desecrated a sacred space, instilled fear in families, and harassed innocent believers.  Their actions directly undermine our constitutional right to worship freely and without coercion.  Targeting a church is a form of bigotry and a blatant attack on religious liberty.  The #American church must rise up, unite, and defend our God-given rights. I stand firmly for the First Amendment freedoms of speech and religion, empowering Christian communicators both within the church and beyond.    Houses of worship are sacred sanctuaries, legally protected from such vile intrusions.  When mobs cross that line to bully and terrorize, they threaten the liberties of all Americans. I am Virginia Prodan —an #international #humanrights #attorney, #keynote #speaker, #author of *Saving My Assassin*, and survivor of socialist Romania. I know firsthand the price of freedom, the power of faith, and the courage it takes to stand for truth in the face of opposition.

Welcome to Courageous Leadership with Virginia Prodan #Podcast. Topis: How to handle Politics at Thanksgiving dinner - Virginia Prodan    A third of Americans say politics strained their family.   It's hurting each of us, and our country.   16% of Americans say a recent Thanksgiving has been spoiled by political fights. Therefore, 1 in 5 Americans now say none of their friends have different political views.  They totally separated from others with a different political view.  Division - the sign of Socialism in America.  My recommendation to you is go to Thanksgiving dinner - and bring together people who have a different view or voted differently.  Thanksgiving  is — a holiday that most Americans celebrate, often with family and friends.   No matter what happened in the past, we need to be with family and friends on Thanksgiving.   As Americans we could use quality time together. We need to find ways to create unity.  But how?  In this episode Virginia shares the 3 ways we can do it.  Virginia Prodan  is a freedom fighter and believes that we as Americans can be united.   Virginia fought and won against Socialism in Romania.  She is fighting for freedom and unity here in America - as a International KeyNote Speaker; Author at Tyndale House Publishers; Allied Attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom; Host of Courageous Leadership with  Virginia Prodan  #Podcast.     Virginia helps you to be united as Americans and fight against #Socialism - not against each other.  Virginia shares why being united is important in America today; why our unity will have long lasting implications. She will share specific ways: - to understand the atrocities of Socialism that is based on creating division among people; - the actions we need to use to create unity at Thanksgiving dinner or every day; - and how to fight and win against the Socialism spreading in America, and its divisions to preserve our freedom. --- Subscribe for free to Courageous Leadership with Virginia Prodan   #Podcast - here : https://open.spotify.com/show/7kHPeoAgbkAHCg2C6RApEZ - to hear encouraging & inspiring messages‬.  ----- Order your autographed copy(s) of #SavingMyAssassin by Virginia Prodan  - directly here: https://virginiaprodanbooks.com/product/book/ ------ Invite Virginia Prodan to speak at your events -: https://virginiaprodanbooks.com/invite-virginia/ ----- Donate to Virginia Prodan #Ministries - here: https://www.virginiaprodan.com/donate/ ----- Subscribe to our Youtube Channel - here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSlM_aAfLxHXTaI05Skv1WQ Watch also our Youtube video - we prepared for you : Hope for America: https://youtu.be/FZKxdSNYLzk?si=zQUGJRFEPBjFcbT3 We love to hear from you.

#360 - SILENT or SILENCED? - Virginia Prodan

Throughout history, numerous individuals and groups have faced silencing by authoritarian regimes.   I know firsthand what it means to be silenced by your government, and still be courageous.  My name is Virginia Prodan.  I lived under a brutal socialist regime in #Romania. Growing up there courage wasn't a choice—it was a necessity. I faced threats, danger, and even an assassin sent to silence me. As a young attorney in Romania under Nicolae Ceausescu's brutal communist regime, I had spent her entire life searching for the truth. When I finally found it in the pages of the most forbidden book in all of Romania, I accepted the divine call to defend fellow followers of Christ against unjust persecution in an otherwise ungodly land. My legal work was declared by the communist government as an act of treason.  For this act of treason, I was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, placed under house arrest, and came within seconds of being executed under the orders of Ceausescu himself.   But I discovered something priceless in that fire: a life built on Christ is unshakable. Nicolae Ceaușescu, the General Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party from 1965 until his overthrow and execution in 1989, employed a wide range of manipulative tactics to silence dissent and maintain control over the Romanian populace.

Throughout history, governments and cultures have tried to silence God's Word and erase the faith of His people.  Yet, every hostile attempt against the church or Christianity has failed because God's truth is eternal.
