Podcasts about martyrs

On this day in Tudor history, 1st August 1534, Catholic gentleman Germain Gardiner published a scathing posthumous attack on Protestant martyr John Frith—over a year after Frith had been burned at the stake. But who was Frith? Why did Gardiner care enough to write such a fiery rebuttal after his death? And how did both men end up executed for their beliefs? In this episode, I explore: Frith's radical theology and links to William Tyndale His arrest, trial, and execution in 1533 for denying purgatory and transubstantiation Gardiner's 1534 printed rebuttal, full of fire, fury, and calls for obedience to Church authority The wider implications of their feud for the English Reformation And the tragic irony of Gardiner's own fate—hanged, drawn and quartered a decade later This is a powerful story of belief, print, polemic—and two men caught in the firestorm of Tudor religion.

To remind us all to pray for persecuted pastors and believers (such as Pastor Wang Yi) as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do (“as bound with them”), by sharing from his own published writings in China, as well as anecdotes from other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand. Also, here’s my own humble attempt at expositing Hebrews 13:3: https://chinacall.substack.com/p/remember-my-chains Today we are going to talk about praying for the children of persecuted pastors/believers… Praying for Christian Children in China https://chinapartnership.org/blog/2025/07/fuzhou-how-to-pray/ Next, I want to read some excerpts from an interview I found of Michael Wurmbrand, the now 80+ year old son of Richard Wurmbrand and founder of the Richard Wurmbrand Foundation. BTW, Michael does NOT recommend the ministry of Voice of the Martyrs, which he helped to found many decades ago. He was fired from the ministry more than ten years ago, when he demanded a more broad inquiry into the travels and contacts of former VOM director, Tom White, who committed suicide in VOM’s Bartlesville, OK, warehouse in 2012, after allegations surfaced of him molesting a ten year old girl. (Read his “Open Letter” about VOM here: https://www.billionbibles.com/michael-wurmbrand-vom.html) Michael Wurmbrand also runs another ministry, Help For Refugees, focused primarily on his native Romania, and has made all of his father’s books (and formerly unpublished writings) available for free since VOM continues to use his parents’ likeness and writings without his permission. I personally support Wurmbrand’s Help for Refugees monthly and love getting their newsletter with previously unpublished reflections by Richard Wurmbrand included each month.

 1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him.Videns autem Jesus turbas, ascendit in montem, et cum sedisset, accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus, 2 And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying:et aperiens os suum docebat eos dicens : 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Beati pauperes spiritu : quoniam ipsorum est regnum caelorum. 4 Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.Beati mites : quoniam ipsi possidebunt terram. 5 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.Beati qui lugent : quoniam ipsi consolabuntur. 6 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.Beati qui esuriunt et sitiunt justitiam : quoniam ipsi saturabuntur. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.Beati misericordes : quoniam ipsi misericordiam consequentur. 8 Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.Beati mundo corde : quoniam ipsi Deum videbunt. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.Beati pacifici : quoniam filii Dei vocabuntur. 10 Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Beati qui persecutionem patiuntur propter justitiam : quoniam ipsorum est regnum caelorum. 11 Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:Beati estis cum maledixerint vobis, et persecuti vos fuerint, et dixerint omne malum adversum vos mentientes, propter me : 12 Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.gaudete, et exsultate, quoniam merces vestra copiosa est in caelis. Sic enim persecuti sunt prophetas, qui fuerunt ante vos.Abdon and Sennon, natives of Persia, were arrested and brought to Rome. They suffered martyrdom under Decius A.D. 254.

Our sovereign God says there is an appointed number of martyrs. They have a special role to play in planting and empowering the church.

She was a maiden from Antioch who lived (perhaps as a slave) in the house of Sabina, wife of a Senator. When Seraphima brought the senator's wife to faith in Christ, the governor summoned Seraphima before him. When she held firm in her faith, he cast her into prison and send several young men to her cell by night to defile her. When they arrived, she was praying to God, and an angel of the Lord appeared before them, clothed in light and bearing a sword; and the young men fell down unconscious. Finally, Seraphima received her martyr's crown when she was beheaded by the governor's order. Sabina, the senator's wife, recovered and buried her body, from which a healing myrrh flowed. This was during the reign of Hadrian.

In this episode of the Finding Peace podcast, join us as we delve into an inspiring conversation with Sam, a man in recovery who is striving to change his life. With 18 months of recovery under his belt, Sam reflects on his journey towards better self-care, revealing his struggles with taking time off work due to deep-seated fears of rejection and being expendable. Together, we explore the roots of these fears, tracing them back to influential moments in his life and unveiling the shadows of the judge, martyr, and politician that have shaped his beliefs. As Sam opens up about the emotional wounds and expectations that have followed him since childhood, he discovers empowering insights and ways to challenge the narratives that have held him back. This heartfelt discussion offers listeners a window into one person's fight for self-acceptance amidst pressures for perfection, while encouraging us all to embrace our worthiness and prioritize self-care in our daily lives.   Thanks to the United States Marine Band and the following Artists from Artlist and Storyblocks Flint – Sunmonth, Daniel Pratt - Honest Thoughts cinematic-drama-sad-piano-and-clouds-of-strings-SBA Adam Dib - Up in the Sky Tomáš Herudek - Sound of Something Horrible Inon Zur - Searching in Shadow Shahead Mostafafar - Golden Diamond   Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue as performed by the United States Marine Band on July 10, 2018.

Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S6) When Amr Ibn al-Jamooh and his son, Khalaad رضي الله عنهم were martyred at Uhud, Amr's wife رضي الله عنهم came with a camel to bring the bodies back to Madinah. When the bodies were placed on the camel, it wouldn't stand until it was struck - however it would not face Madinah, and wanted to stay at Uhud. The Messenger ﷺ said that the camel was ordered to do this! Amr's wife رضي الله عنهم informed the Messenger ﷺ of Amr's dua, that he didn't want to return to his people (I.e martyrdom), which was accepted. اَللَّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ. A period of time had passed (one report says ~37 years), and when water was flowing into the gravesite of Uhud, the graves had to be exhumed. When they saw the bodies of Amr Ibn al-Jamooh and Abdullah Ibn Amr Ibn Haram رضي الله عنهم, they looked as if they were buried yesterday! The people moved the hand of Abdullah رضي الله عنه , and he had a wound which the hand was covering. When the hand was moved, blood began pouring out and the hand returned back to the face to cover it! The Messenger ﷺ loved the martyrs of so, that he yearned to be buried with them. He (ﷺ) said: “O Allah! سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى If only I was left with them at the foot of Uhud”.

Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S7) Some more of the blessed martyrs of Uhud: Hamza, Musab, Hanza, Sa'ad Ibn Rabee, Kharija Ibn Zayd, Yaman, Thaabit Ibn Waqash, Mukhayriq, Usayrim and of course the living martyr: Talha رضي الله عنهم. Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه was often seen trying to make the Jews see the light. The Jews always mentioned that the final Messenger (ﷺ) was coming and that they'd side with him to beat the Ansar, however when our Messenger ﷺ came and was from the Arabs, they rejected him. Muazh رضي الله عنه said to them, why do you now reject him? You told us of his arrival! Surah [2:59] was then revealed. Another time, Muazh رضي الله عنه, Sa'ad Ibn Muazh and kharija Ibn Zayd رضي الله عنهم asked the Jews about information in the Torah, which they concealed. Thus was revealed surah [2:159]. Such was a young and courageous Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه.

Uncle Si, Jase, Al, and Phillip explore John 12 and Jesus' prediction of His death, highlighting that His sacrifice was a willing act of love, not something taken from Him. The guys connect this moment to Old Testament prophecies and how true kingship is revealed through surrender, resurrection, and victory over sin. Jase shares the chilling story of being threatened with death while preaching in Ukraine, leading into stories of modern-day believers who face persecution for their faith. Guest Todd Nettleton from Voice of the Martyrs joins to share powerful testimonies of Christians around the world who choose Jesus over fear.

 9 And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified: these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet presently.Cum autem audieritis praelia et seditiones, nolite terreri : oportet primum haec fieri, sed nondum statim finis. 10 Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.Tunc dicebat illis : Surget gens contra gentem, et regnum adversus regnum. 11 And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places, and pestilences, and famines, and terrors from heaven; and there shall be great signs.Et terraemotus magni erunt per loca, et pestilentiae, et fames, terroresque de caelo, et signa magna erunt. 12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands upon you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name's sake.Sed ante haec omnia injicient vobis manus suas, et persequentur tradentes in synagogas et custodias, trahentes ad reges et praesides propter nomen meum : 13 And it shall happen unto you for a testimony.continget autem vobis in testimonium. 14 Lay it up therefore into your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer:Ponite ergo in cordibus vestris non praemeditari quemadmodum respondeatis : 15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.ego enim dabo vobis os et sapientiam, cui non poterunt resistere et contradicere omnes adversarii vestri. 16 And you shall be betrayed by your parents and brethren, and kinsmen and friends; and some of you they will put to death.Trademini autem a parentibus, et fratribus, et cognatis, et amicis, et morte afficient ex vobis : 17 And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake.et eritis odio omnibus propter nomen meum : 18 But a hair of your head shall not perish.et capillus de capite vestro non peribit. 19 In your patience you shall possess your souls.In patientia vestra possidebitis animas vestras.Nazarius and his disciple Celsus are two Milanese martyrs. They were beheaded A.D. 67. St Victor, successor of St Eleutherius, was martyred under Septimus Serverus A.D. 199.Having, like his contemporaries St Jerome and St Augustine, fought with his pen and his elegance for the teaching of Christ, St Innocent, the successor of St Anastasius, died A.D. 417.

He was born in Nicomedia; his father was a pagan, his mother a Christian. Through her he was taught the Christian Faith and baptized by St Hermolaus (July 26). He became a physician, and practiced his art with compassion and generosity, healing many more through his prayers as by his medicines. His parents had named him Pantoleon ("in all things a lion"), but because of his great compassion he was re-named Panteleimon ("all- merciful"). He once healed a man of blindness by calling on Christ, which led the once-blind man to embrace the Faith. When asked how he came to be healed he named Panteleimon as his healer and proclaimed his newfound faith in Christ. For this the pagans executed him, then arrested Panteleimon, who after many tortures was beheaded in 305. He is counted as the foremost of the Unmercenary Physicians.

En Centrafrique, la course de pirogues est un sport sacré chez les riverains, pratiqué en grande pompe dans les quartiers et villages situés au bord de la rivière Oubangui, au sud-ouest de la capitale Bangui. La course de pirogues permet généralement aux différentes communautés de se confronter pacifiquement sur l'eau. Chaque année, une compétition est organisée sur la rivière Oubangui pour commémorer le 1er décembre, la fête nationale du pays. De notre envoyé spécial à Modalé, Au village de Modalé, à 30 km de la capitale de Centrafrique, dans la Lobaye, le chef organise de temps en temps des courses pour sélectionner les meilleurs piroguiers en vue de représenter le village. Aux abords du quai de Lakéré, 10 pirogues en bois sont sur la ligne de départ. Chaque embarcation est composée de 12 rameurs, dont trois remplaçants.  Les équipes n'ont pas de gilets de sauvetage, mais se distinguent par leur maillot. Quand le top est donné, les pirogues s'élancent à vive allure, cadencées par des coups de pagaies. « La course de pirogue représente notre identité remarquable. Notre village a déjà enregistré 15 victoires aux compétitions nationales. Nous sommes nés et avons grandi au bord de l'eau. C'est pour dire que la course relève de notre domaine. Cette course locale est importante afin de préparer notre équipe aux compétitions à venir. Nous nous préparons depuis trois mois », explique avec enthousiasme Constant Charbardo, l'un des organisateurs. Les équipes doivent parcourir 500 mètres avant d'arriver au point de départ où les vainqueurs seront distingués. La compétition se déroule sous les regards attentifs d'une centaine de spectateurs curieux. Manuella Tondo est l'une d'entre eux. « La course de pirogue, c'est un vrai moment de bonheur et de partage. Il faut être là pour savourer ce qui se passe. Cela me donne aussi envie de participer. Regardez vous-même comment les gens sont mobilisés. C'est une source de cohésion, car presque tous les habitants du village sont là », se réjouit-elle. Les piroguiers sont encouragés par moult chants et acclamations. Finalement, c'est l'équipe des Martyrs de Modalé qui a remporté la manche. Âgée d'une trentaine d'années, Malcom Dagbia, l'un des piroguiers, mesure 1,95 mètre. Ses coéquipiers le surnomment Goliath. « À la base, je suis un pêcheur et c'est ce qui fait ma force. Les mots me manquent pour décrire ce que je ressens. Cette victoire représente le fruit de notre dur labeur. C'est un sport très technique et physique. On s'est bien entraîné et chacun de nous est conscient de son rôle », déclare-t-il, ému et encore essoufflé. Dans ce village, la plupart des piroguiers sont des pêcheurs. Bien que son équipe occupe la dernière place, Hector Nadji est sûr d'être sélectionné : « On fait cette course pour la fierté de notre village. Je félicite les équipes qui ont occupé les meilleures places, elles ont fait un bon départ. J'ai une équipe jeune et la plupart ne savent pas encore bien nager, c'est pourquoi elles ont ramé avec prudence. Mais ces jeunes représentent l'avenir de notre village. Je suis un guerrier, j'espère que les organisateurs vont me sélectionner. » Selon la direction des sports traditionnels, une fédération dédiée aux courses de pirogues sera créée cette année pour permettre à la Centrafrique de participer aux compétitions internationales.

She was born near Rome to pious parents. Since she was born on a Friday, she was named Paraskeve (Friday in Greek; literally "preparation" or "preparedness" because Friday was the Biblical Day of Preparation for the Sabbath). From early childhood she studied the scriptures, consecrated herself to a monastic life, and brought many to faith in Christ by her example and teaching. During the reign of Antoninus she was arrested because she was a Christian. When ordered to worship the idols, she answered "Let the gods that have not made heaven and the earth perish from off the earth" (Jeremiah 10:11). For this, after severe tortures she was beheaded in 140.

She was from Tyre in Syria, the daughter of a pagan named Urban. She is a miraculous example of one brought to faith in Christ without any human intervention. When she was about eleven years old, her father, seeing her great beauty and wanting to protect her from men until she was grown, made her live alone on the top floor of a fine house, with slaves, all worldly comforts, and gold and silver idols. Passing the time by looking out the window, Christina came by her meditations on the beauty and order of nature to believe in the one, living God. An Angel of the Lord then came to her, who marked her with the sign of the Cross and instructed her in the truth of the Gospel. The newly-enlightened Christina smashed all the idols in her room, so infuriating her father that he sent her to be tortured and beheaded for her faith. Her father, though in good health and in the prime of life, died that night. Christina was subjected to horrible tortures and mutilations, and finally died by the sword, her faith unshaken.   Troparion to St Christina: O Lord Jesus, unto Thee Thy lamb doth cry with a great voice:* O my Bridegroom, Thee I love;* and seeking Thee, I now contest, and with Thy baptism am crucified and buried.* I suffer for Thy sake, that I may reign with Thee;* for Thy sake I die, that I may live in Thee:* accept me offered out of longing to Thee as a spotless sacrifice.* Lord, save our souls through her intercessions,* since Thou art great in mercy.

Now that CBS has announced Stephen Colbert's Late Show is being cancelled, the left is trying to make him into a Martyr for free speech.

44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.Simile est regnum caelorum thesauro abscondito in agro : quem qui invenit homo, abscondit, et prae gaudio illius vadit, et vendit universa quae habet, et emit agrum illum. 45 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.Iterum simile est regnum caelorum homini negotiatori, quaerenti bonas margaritas. 46 Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quae habuit, et emit eam. 47 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.Iterum simile est regnum caelorum sagenae missae in mare, et ex omni genere piscium congreganti. 48 Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonis in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt. 49 So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.Sic erit in consummatione saeculi : exibunt angeli, et separabunt malos de medio justorum, 50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.et mittent eos in caminum ignis : ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium. 51 Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.Intellexistis haec omnia? Dicunt ei : Etiam. 52 He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.Ait illis : Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno caelorum, similis est homini patrifamilias, qui profert de thesauro suo nova et veteraSt Christina of Tuscany was martyred at the age of ten, under Diocletian, A.D. 300.

 24 And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.Facta est autem et contentio inter eos, quis eorum videretur esse major. 25 And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.Dixit autem eis : Reges gentium dominantur eorum : et qui potestatem habent super eos, benefici vocantur. 26 But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.Vos autem non sic : sed qui major est in vobis, fiat sicut minor : et qui praecessor est, sicut ministrator. 27 For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:Nam quis major est, qui recumbit, an qui ministrat? nonne qui recumbit? Ego autem in medio vestrum sum, sicut qui ministrat : 28 And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:vos autem estis, qui permansistis mecum in tentationibus meis. 29 And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;Et ego dispono vobis sicut disposuit mihi Pater meus regnum, 30 That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.ut edatis et bibatis super mensam meam in regno meo, et sedeatis super thronos judicantes duodecim tribus Israel.St Apollinarus, a disciple of St Peter, came with the latter from Antioch to Rome. He was consecrated bishop of Ravenna and preached the Gospel of Christ amidst many persecutions, including prison and exile. The Apostle of Ravenna was beaten to death A.D. 79.

The podcast kicks off with some Christian bros stopping by the Rulli house - despite the "no solicitation" sign. After that, Lino gets a chance to talk Nero and Roman Martyrs (always a favorite). Then, everyone loves the Doubting Thomas, right? And the podcast wraps up with Lino describing the Mexican restaurant where you never know what you'll get!

Her mother died when she was very young, and she was brought up by her father. As she grew older, she grew in virtue and beauty. Her father conceived an illicit desire for her and made improper advances toward her, which troubled her so greatly that she fled her village and hid in the mountains. Her father pursued her, even wounding her with arrows in his effort to possess her. Finally she took refuge in a cloven rock. When her father found that he could not drag her from her refuge, he viciously dismembered her and threw her head into the sea. From the rock that had sheltered her a stream appeared, whose water had healing virtues. The holy Marcella is especially venerated on Chios to this day.

Christians don't know their Christian history. By and large that is true. However, the more we learn of our past, the better we understand our present. But how can busy believers today gain this insight?One way is by listening to sermons delivered by great Christian pastors long ago. Troy Frasier joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to share how he brings lost sermons to life. These sermons, along with helpful and relevant historical context, can be listened to on the Revived Thoughts Podcast. On your commute to work or when carting kids to practice, you can listen to these engaging sermons.Another fascinating resource discussed on today's episode is the Martyrs and Missionaries Podcast. This program, hosted by Troy's wife, provides similar insights. Instead of sermons, however, you learn about famous missionaries, martyrs and missional movements. The content is thoroughly researched and riveting.If you find this episode helpful, please give us a positive rating and review wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

Do your daily actions match what you claim are your priorities? In this thought-provoking episode, Jesse Cope challenges us to examine the gap between what we say matters and how we actually spend our time and energy.The reality is stark—we can tell our children, spouses, or even God that they're our priority, but if we're not investing quality time with them while finding hours for social media, sports, or entertainment, our true values are revealed. As Jesse powerfully notes, "There comes a point at which everybody knows we don't really care."Through a compelling exploration of 1 Corinthians 15, we discover the transformative hope of resurrection—both Christ's historical resurrection and our promised spiritual renewal. This chapter reminds us that Christian hope isn't just for eternity but provides meaning and purpose in our present struggles. Jesse highlights Paul's remarkable transformation from persecutor to apostle as evidence that no sin is beyond God's forgiveness through Christ.The podcast draws fascinating parallels between America's founding struggles and our current national divisions, suggesting we face similar fundamental choices about liberty and national character. Through historical perspectives from Ezra Stiles and Mercy Otis Warren, alongside accounts from Fox's Book of Martyrs, Jesse illuminates the dangers when religious or political institutions claim infallibility and refuse correction.Perhaps most compelling is the reminder that we serve as living representatives of everything we claim to value. As Jesse once told his Marines: "You may be the only Marine somebody ever meets, and whatever impression you make will become their opinion of the entire Marine Corps." Similarly, Christians may be "the only Bible some people ever read" through their daily actions and character.The episode concludes with an inspiring call to spread the gospel as America's true hope for renewal. By living our faith authentically, supporting those ministering in challenging environments, and reclaiming education centered on timeless values, we can influence our culture far more effectively than through political means alone.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Mother Maria was born in Latvia in 1891. Like many of the pre-Revolutionary Russian intelligenstia, she was an atheist and a political radical in her youth, but gradually came to accept the truths of the Faith. After the Revolution, she became part of the large Russian emigre population of Paris. There she was tonsured as a nun by Metropolitan Evlogy, and devoted herself to a life of service to the poor. With a small community of fellow-believers, she established 'houses of hospitality' for the poor, the homeless, and the alcoholic, and visited Russian emigres in mental hospitals. In 1939 Metropolitan Evlogy sent the young priest Fr Dimitry to serve Mother Maria's community; he proved to be a partner, committed even unto death, in the community's work among the poor. When the Nazis took Paris in 1940, Mother Maria, Fr Dimitry, and others of the community chose to remain in the city to care for those who had come to count on them. As Nazi persecution of Jews in France increased, the Orthodox community's work naturally expanded to include protection and care of these most helpless ones. Father Dimitri was asked to provide forged certificates of baptism to preserve the lives of Jews, and always complied. Eventually, this work led to the arrest of Mother Maria, Fr Dimitri, and their associates. A fragment survives of the Gestapo's interrogation of Fr Dimitri:   Hoffman: If we release you, will you give your word never again to aid Jews?   Klepinin: I can say no such thing. I am a Christian and must act as I must. (Hoffman struck Klepinin across the face.)   Hoffman: Jew lover! How dare you talk of helping those swine as being a Christian duty! (Klepinin, recovering his balance, held up the cross from his cassock.)   Klepinin: Do you know this Jew? (For this, Father Dimitri was knocked to the floor.)   "Your priest did himself in," Hoffman said afterward to Sophia Pilenko. "He insists that if he were to be freed, he would act exactly as before."   Mother Maria, Fr Dimitri, and several of their colleages, were sent to the Nazi concentration camps (Mother Maria to Ravensbruck, Fr Dimitri to Buchenwald) where, after great sufferings, they perished. It is believed that Mother Maria's last act was to take the place of a Jew being sent to death, voluntarily dying in his place.   A full account of their life and death is given on the site of the Orthodox Peace Fellowship.   Mother Maria and her companions were glorified by the Patriarchate of Constantinople in 2004.

Established 28 years ago by Congress, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) is charged with monitoring religious persecution around the world, reporting to Congress, the President, and the Secretary of State and making recommendations on advancing religious freedom through US foreign policy. Vicky Hartzler is the current chair of USCIRF. Prior to that appointment, she served in Congress from the state of Missouri. Even before her service in Congress, Hartzler came with a group from her church to volunteer at The Voice of the Martyrs. Listen as she shares more about her role in reporting on and seeking religious freedom for our brothers and sisters in restricted areas and hostile nations. She'll also share her own experiences of advocating on behalf of persecuted Christians directly to leaders of other nations. After getting VOM's monthly magazine and reading Richard Wurmbrand's story in Tortured for Christ, her eyes were opened to Christian persecution and she was moved to pray for our persecuted Christian family, taking Hebrews 13:3 to heart. Hartzler was impacted by her time serving at VOM. Her heart was also moved when she met a Chinese Christian woman at her church. The woman shared how she'd felt alone in solitary confinement in China—until she had a vision from the Lord of people praying for her. “God may be enabling somebody in prison to see and to hear our prayers—and to be encouraged,” Hartzler says. In Congress, Hartzler adopted three Christian prisoners in China to advocate on behalf of. Pastor Wang Yi—one of the three—is still in prison, serving out his nine-year sentence. You can write a letter to him, and petition government officials on his behalf, at PrisonerAlert.com. Listen for ways you can pray for USCIRF's work and for followers of Christ working in government to advance religious freedom around the world. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians throughout the year, as well as provide free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content and feature films.

Guests: Fr. Peter Mangum - delegate for the cause of beatification for s + Dr. Mary Soha discusses the miracle of St Kateri Tekakwitha

He was from the town of Dorostolon in Thrace and during the reign of Julian the Apostate became a servant of the governor in that region. Before the time of his martyrdom he was a secret Christian. An imperial legate arrived in the town with orders to seize all Christians, but failed to find any; to show his pleasure he ordered a great feast for the whole town, complete with sacrifices to the pagan gods. On the night before the appointed feast, Emilian went around the town and smashed all the idols with a hammer. The following day there was an uproar, and an innocent villager was seized and charged with the crime. Emilian, seeing this, said to himself 'If I conceal my action, what sort of use has it been? Shall I not stand before God as the slayer of an innocent man?' So he presented himself to the legate and confessed what he had done. When the furious official asked Emilian on whose orders he had acted, Emilian replied 'God and my soul commanded me to destroy those dead pillars that you call gods.' As punishment, Emilian was subjected to many tortures and finally burned alive.

She was born in Antioch of Pisidia to pagan parents; her father was a pagan priest. When she was about twelve years old her mother died, and she was given into the care of a woman who told her of the Gospel of Christ. She was immediately filled with love for Christ and consecrated her life to His service. Her father, hearing of this, was furious and disowned her. When she was fifteen years old, she was brought before the governor Olymbrius, who first desired to marry her and, when she refused, ordered her to make sacrifice to the idols. She refused and proclaimed herself a Christian. For this she was harshly tortured, imprisoned, and finally beheaded. While she was in prison she was tormented by demons, but drove them away by her prayers. For this reason she is especially invoked for deliverance from demonic possession. One of her hands is preserved at Vatopedi Monastery on the Holy Mountain, and some of her relics are preserved at an Albanian Monastery dedicated to her.

Send us a textIf you've ever avoided a hard conversation until everything was on fire— hi, me too. No one hands us a playbook for how to speak up with courage...but over the years, I've learned that if I want to grow a business with integrity, I can't keep tiptoeing around the truth.In this episode, I'm sharing the exact mindset shift and 5-step framework I use to lead difficult conversations—whether it's with a team member, a client, or someone I love.Episode Highlights:

What would someone see if they watched your life from the outside? Would they recognize you as a follower of Christ by your actions alone? These challenging questions form the foundation of this soul-searching episode that invites listeners to examine the authenticity of their faith beyond mere words or church attendance.Jesse Cope dives deep into what it means to truly prioritize God in our daily lives, suggesting that prayer shouldn't be reserved for major life events but woven into the fabric of our everyday moments—from morning coffee decisions to interactions with family members. This consistent communion with God represents the kind of relationship that transforms not just individuals but communities and nations.The episode explores 1 Corinthians 12's powerful teaching on spiritual gifts, emphasizing how God specifically designed each person with unique talents and abilities for distinctive purposes. Much like the human body depends on all its parts—even those seemingly insignificant—our communities thrive when every member recognizes their God-given value and purpose. This biblical principle extends beyond church walls to our entire nation, where the suffering of one region or group ultimately affects everyone.As Cope reads from historical documents including Fox's Book of Martyrs and Revolutionary-era sermons, listeners gain perspective on the tremendous sacrifices made by previous generations to secure religious freedom and national liberty. These accounts serve as sobering reminders that the comfortable faith many practice today came at an extraordinary price—one that required communities to band together, communicate effectively, and stand firm against persecution.The message grows increasingly urgent when addressing America's current spiritual climate, characterized as a battle for the nation's soul. Listeners are called to strengthen Christian conservative communities through improved communication, support for local institutions like law enforcement and emergency services, and vigilant preparation for challenging times ahead. The historical parallel to pre-Revolutionary America's "minutemen" provides a compelling model for readiness.Take time today to evaluate how your faith manifests in tangible actions, consider your unique role in God's design for both church and nation, and recognize that the challenges facing communities across America will eventually reach us all. Will you be prepared spiritually and practically when they do?Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Tim and Mary come bearing headlines for another round of news and commentary. Today we discuss persecution in America, as anti-Christian rhetoric ramps up in diverse places. Last week we chatted with Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrs to learn about our church family overseas; today we talk about perils in the US - and opportunities to stand firm for the faith. We also look at the latest with the IRS statement allowing pulpits to promote political candidates. Good, bad, ugly? Freedom of speech is always good, and just because it comes from the side of those who preach morals and are pro-life, doesn't make it less valuable. In fact, the world needs more words of value spoken by God's people on many subjects. But, we also have people in pews who think differently about politics and candidates. Is this a breeding ground for divisiveness, and what about those who really don't come to church to hear about politics on any level? Just askin'. We also talk about the 2-state solution and hostility against Jews. Did we really think we would be left out of that danger zone, where our Jewish brethren are suffering for their beliefs but not the church?

"Holy Julitta was of noble birth. She was widowed young, and left with a newborn child, Cyricus. She lived in Iconium, a city of Lycaonia, and was a very devout Christian. She had her son baptised immediately after his birth and, when he was three years old, instructed him in the Faith and taught him to pray insofar as a child of that age is capable of learning. When Diocletian launched a persecution of Christians, much innocent blood was shed in the city of Iconium. Julitta took her son and hid from the wrath of the pagans in the town of Seleucid, but things were no better there. Julitta was arrested as a Christian and brought to trial. Seeing Julitta so courageously proclaim her faith in the Lord Jesus, the judge, to distress her and make her waver, took the child in his arms and began to kiss it. But Cyricus shouted: 'I am a Christian; let me go to my mother!', and he began to scratch the judge, turning his face away from him. The judge was furious, threw the child to the ground and kicked it, and the child rolled down the stone steps and gave his holy and innocent soul to God. Seeing how Cyricus suffered before her, Julitta was filled with joy and gave thanks to God that her son had been counted worthy of the wreath of martyrdom. After harsh torture, Julitta was beheaded, in the year 304. The relics of Ss Cyricus and Julitta have wonderworking power to this day. A part of the relics of these saints is to be found in Ochrid, in the Church of the Holy Mother of God, the Healer." (Prologue. In the Prologue, the name of Cyricus is spelled "Cerycus." It is changed here for consistency with other sources.)

Proclus was the uncle of Hilarius; both were from Kallippi in Asia during the reign of Trajan. When Proclus was brought to be tried as a Christian, the judge asked him 'Of what race are you?' Proclus answered 'I am of the race of Christ, and my hope is in my God.' When the judge threatened to torture him, he said 'When you are afraid to transgress the Emperor's commands and risk falling into temporal punishment, how much more do we Christians fear to transgress against God's commands and fall into eternal torment!' When Proclus was given over to torture, his nephew Hilarius came forward and proclaimed 'I too am a Christian.' After torture, both were condemned to death; Proclus was crucified and Hilarius beheaded.   Imagine how the Orthodox Church would benefit if, when we were asked 'Of what race are you?' the first answer that came to mind was not 'I am Greek, Russian, Serbian...' but 'I am of the race of Christ!'

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, an Axios article exposes their own kind detailing how leftist democrats are openly willing to turn into extremists and martyrs for their cause citing violence and drawing blood to prove their cause..all invoked by their hatred for President Trump and the administration's efforts to establish and enforce law and order in America. Also 11 people charged with attempted murder in a coordinated July 4th attack on ICE agents outside of a federal building in Texas wounding one officer and a very similar incident yesterday at a border patrol annex building in McAllen Texas where a shooter was killed by officers after he opened fire on border patrol agents. Also we explore the culture of the radicalized movement of extremists who carry out unspeakable crimes such as this and the support of the liberal judges to protect these criminals from facing justice. Also social media allows the hate rhetoric and outright threats of the shooting of federal agents in a culture of evil, violence and murder in a democratic environment.

Dorotheos and Eusebia, a devout, aging Christian couple who lived in Anatolia, had no children. After many years, their fervent prayers for a child were answered, and they were blessed with a daughter, whom they named Kyriake ('Sunday' in Greek) because she was born on the Lord's day. The child grew up beautiful in body and soul and, though she had many suitors, chose to consecrate herself entirely to God and remain single. One of her suitors, angered at her refusal, denounced her and her parents to the Emperor Diocletian. Dorotheos and Eusebia were subjected to cruel tortures, then sent into exile, where they died under further torture. Kyriake was sent to Maximian, Diocletian's son-in-law, for trial. By his orders, she was subjected to a horrifying series of torments; but Christ Himself appeared to her in prison, healing and comforting her. Many pagans came to believe in Christ when they saw her miraculously saved from death by fire or from wild beasts; all of these were beheaded. Kyriake told Apollonius, the general who supervised her tortures: 'There is no way that you can turn me from my faith. Throw me into the fire — I have the example of the Three Children. Throw me to the wild beasts — I have the example of Daniel. Throw me into the sea — I have the example of Jonah the Prophet. Put me to the sword — I will remember the honored Forerunner. For me, to die is life in Christ.' Apollonius then ordered that she be beheaded.
