In this episode of Journey of Hope, host Elio Constantine continues the mini-series with a meaningful conversation titled “Why Be Missional?” Joined by Bishop Dr. Yasser Eric, the discussion explores how every follower of Christ is called to live missionally bringing discipleship, love, and transformation into their communities wherever God places them.Bishop Dr. Yasser Eric draws from his own journey—from growing up as a radical Sunni Muslim in Sudan to becoming a follower of Christ—to emphasize that mission and discipleship begin with a heart for Jesus. He highlights that being missional is not about attending church on Sundays or completing programs; it's about living out Christ's love daily in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools.Throughout the episode, he shares practical insights on discipleship, illustrating that transformation happens relationally, day by day. Using examples from Scripture and real life, Dr. Eric explains how Christ modeled discipleship through daily engagement with His followers and how ordinary believers can serve as missionaries simply by living faithfully.He also discusses Heart for Lebanon's Mission Leadership Program, which equips men and women—including Muslim-background believers—to disciple others within their own communities. The program emphasizes context, relationships, and practical application of Scripture, showing that small, intentional groups can create long-lasting spiritual growth.This episode is a powerful reminder that discipleship and mission begin with being available to God, showing love, and living intentionally. Transformation happens over time, through patience, relationship, and faithfulness, as God works in the hearts of those we encounter.Show Notes:Being MissionalGod is a missionary God, always reaching out to people (Genesis–Revelation)Mission is not limited to pastors or church leaders; every Christian is calledLiving missionally starts in your daily context—home, work, school, and neighborhoodDiscipleship in PracticeTrue discipleship happens relationally, day by day, through example and engagementElevate others toward Christ by showing love, guidance, and patienceDiscipleship does not require perfect knowledge, only a heart for JesusHeart for Lebanon Mission Leadership Program: Equips students from diverse backgrounds to make disciples in their communitiesEmphasizes starting from context, not imposing contentBuilds organic, relational growth through small groups and home-based gatheringsKey TakeawaysBeing missional is about living Christ's love wherever you areDiscipleship is a lifelong journey, available to all believersTransformation begins with intentional relationship and patienceGod works in people's lives even before we arrive; our role is to join Him

It is imperative that you know how to discern the fruit of a false prophet in order to make it to heaven.

In this episode of Journey of Hope, host Elio Constantine continues the mini-series with Bishop Dr. Yasser Eric in a powerful and thought-provoking conversation on “Understanding Political Islam and the Fear Narrative.” Together, they unpack one of the most complex and often misunderstood topics shaping global conversations today.Drawing from his personal journey—from being raised as a radical Sunni Muslim in Sudan to becoming a follower of Christ and now a bishop serving a global movement—Dr. Eric offers deep insight into the distinction between Islam as a faith and political Islam as an ideology. He addresses the roots of fear often associated with Islam and challenges listeners to move beyond generalizations toward informed, Christ-centered understanding.Throughout the episode, the conversation explores how fear can distort perception, hinder action, and prevent meaningful engagement. Dr. Eric explains how political Islam merges religion and state, the implications of Sharia law, and how extremist ideologies impact both Muslims and non-Muslims—highlighting that many of the primary victims are Muslims themselves.The discussion also sheds light on the reality of the persecuted Church in regions governed by strict religious laws, where believers often worship in secrecy and face immense cost for their faith. Yet, in the midst of suffering, there is resilience, growth, and a powerful testimony of unwavering faith.This episode is both eye-opening and deeply convicting, calling believers—especially in the West—to move from fear to faith, from comfort to conviction, and from passivity to prayerful action. It reminds us that following Christ has always come with a cost, and that there is much to learn from those who faithfully endure persecution. Show Notes:Understanding Political IslamDistinguishing between Islam as a religion and political Islam as an ideologyPolitical Islam merges religion with governance and lawLack of separation between state and faith creates societal and religious challengesThe Fear NarrativeFear often comes from misunderstanding and lack of definitionMedia and global events have shaped a generalized fear of IslamChristians are called to respond with truth, not fearImpact on Society and MuslimsPolitical Islam affects both non-Muslims and MuslimsMany victims of extremist ideologies are Muslims themselvesExamples include regions impacted by groups like ISIS, Boko Haram, and Al-ShabaabThe Persecuted ChurchBelievers in many regions face legal, social, and physical persecutionUnderground and house churches are often the only way to gatherConversion from Islam to Christianity can carry severe consequencesA Call to the Western ChurchFaith in Christ is not meant to be comfortable or cost-freeThere is much to learn from persecuted believersStanding firm in truth requires courage, conviction, and faithfulnessHow We Can RespondPray for the persecuted Church to endure and growLearn from global believers who live out costly faithSpeak truth with love and stand firm in biblical convictionsEngage actively rather than passively in matters of faith and justice

In this episode of Journey of Hope, host Elio Constantine continues the mini-series with a meaningful conversation titled “Your Muslim Neighbor.” Joined by Bishop Dr. Yasser Eric, the discussion explores how Christians are called to understand, love, and engage with Muslims in a Christ-centered way.Dr. Yasser Eric draws from his own journey—from growing up as a radical Sunni Muslim in Sudan to becoming a follower of Christ—to challenge common misconceptions. He emphasizes the critical distinction between Islam as a religion and Muslims as people, reminding listeners that every individual is created in the image of God and worthy of dignity, respect, and love.Throughout the episode, he offers practical and biblical wisdom on building genuine relationships rather than approaching Muslims as projects or debates to win. He highlights the importance of knowing our own faith first, engaging with humility, and creating space for real conversations rooted in shared human experiences.Using examples from Scripture, including Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman and Paul in Athens, Dr. Eric illustrates how meeting people where they are opens the door for meaningful dialogue and Gospel witness.This episode is a powerful reminder that transformation begins with love, that God is already at work in people's lives, and that our role is to faithfully join Him through relationship, prayer, and compassion.Show Notes:Understanding the DifferenceIslam is a religion; Muslims are people made in God's imageConfusing the two leads to fear, misunderstanding, and divisionNot all Muslims are the same—diversity exists across cultures and beliefsStart with Your Own FaithUnderstanding Islam begins with understanding what you believe as a ChristianThe Gospel—not opinion—grounds meaningful conversationsBuilding Real RelationshipsMuslims are not projects; they are people to love and knowTrue engagement requires time, presence, and shared lifeHospitality and listening are key to trustA Biblical Approach to EngagementJesus modeled meeting people in their everyday needs (John 4)Paul modeled starting where people are (Acts 17)Ask questions before giving answersFrom Fear to FriendshipReplace assumptions with real conversationsMove beyond fear of the unknown through relationshipLove must come before proclamationGod Is Already at WorkEvery person has a story God is writingOur role is to join the “pre-existing work” of Jesus in their livesPrayer opens our hearts to love others genuinely

Episode SummaryIn this deeply moving episode of Journey of Hope, host Elio Constantine launches a new mini-series with a powerful conversation titled “Who Is Your Enemy?” Joined by Dr. Yasser Eric, a bishop within the Global Anglican Church and a former radical Sunni Muslim, the episode explores the biblical meaning of enemies and Christ's radical call to love them.Dr. Yasser Eric shares his extraordinary testimony of growing up in Sudan within a fanatical Muslim environment marked by generational hatred toward Christians and others deemed “different.” As a teenager, he was immersed in extremist ideology that glorified violence and dehumanized perceived enemies. This indoctrination culminated in a brutal attack on a Christian classmate named Zakaria, whom Dr. Yasser Eric nearly killed—believing at the time he was serving God.Everything changed when Dr. Yasser Eric encountered Jesus through the compassion and prayers of Christians he once hated. While visiting a hospital, he witnessed two believers praying with love and authority over a dying child—an experience that revealed to him a God of mercy, intimacy, and grace. That moment marked the beginning of his transformation, leading him to faith in Christ at the age of 19, estrangement from his family, imprisonment, and eventually a calling to ministry.The episode reaches a profound climax when Dr. Yasser Eric recounts a later encounter with Zakaria—the very man he had attacked—who reveals that he had been praying for him all those years. This moment powerfully illustrates Jesus' command to “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,” showing that transformation is only possible through Christ's love, not human strength.This episode challenges listeners to confront cycles of hatred, reject violence, and embrace the reconciling power of prayer and forgiveness. It sets the tone for the mini-series by reminding us that the true enemy is not flesh and blood—and that loving our enemies is one of the clearest reflections of Jesus in us.Show Notes: Biblically, enemies are not merely people who annoy or oppose usScripture teaches that our struggle is not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6)Hatred is often inherited, taught, and normalized across generationsThe Danger of Religious ExtremismReligion without Christ can fuel violence and dehumanizationFaith can become dangerous when it is disconnected from love and truthViolence always produces more violence—never peaceThe Power of Prayer and CompassionTwo Christians praying for a dying child changed Dr. Yasser Eric's life foreverCompassion revealed a God who is personal, loving, and nearPrayer became the instrument God used to transform an enemy into a discipleLoving Your Enemy: A Gospel CommandJesus' command to love enemies is impossible without HimForgiveness and love are not human achievements but divine workZakaria's prayers broke a generational cycle of hatredA Life Transformed by ChristFrom persecutor to pastorFrom hatred to reconciliationFrom enemy to brother in ChristDr. Yasser Eric now leads a global movement of Muslim-background believers spanning over 80 countries, bearing witness to the redemptive power of Jesus Christ.
