Welcome to Scattered Abroad, a podcast to encourage young Bible-believing Christians to stand in these last days. Stretching from the United States, all the way to Caribbean and beyond, these episodes will feature young adults and their journeys to the truth that has made them free.In a world where standing for God and His Word is not so mainstream, it can feel quite lonely when you decide to walk the narrow way. You may think, “Am I the only one who sees these startling events? Am I the only one my age that wants to live a converted life?” But just as Elijah was overwhelmed by the same illusion, God reassures us that there are 7,000 faithful ones standing for the same cause.As we face the external battles around us, and push through the internal battles within, let us find solace in knowing that God has raised up other young people worldwide. We’re just scattered abroad. “Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.” (Acts 8:4).
