There is plenty of evidence indicating that men and women suffer differently when they are persecuted for their faith in Jesus. In this episode of Closer to the Fire, podcast host Greg Musselman is joined by Emma, the director of an organization that is dedicated to addressing gender-specific religious freedom issues. (Due to the nature of her work, Emma's last name is not publicly disclosed.) During the interview, this valued ministry partner of VOMC discusses the various ways in which gender-specific persecution affects the church, the devastating consequences that occur when these realities are overlooked, and how the body of Christ can respond with greater understanding, wisdom and compassion. Most importantly, she highlights the hope and healing that Jesus is bringing to the lives of persecuted believers in the midst of suffering.

It's Tuesday, December 2nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Trump urges Venezuelan president to leave country U.S. sabers are rattling off the coast of Venezuela.   The Miami Herald reported that President Donald Trump offered Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro an ultimatum over the weekend: He said, “You can save yourself and those closest to you, but you must leave the country now.”   For any assistance in leading to Maduro's arrest, the U.S. government has placed a bounty of $50 million on the Venezuelan President.   Also, President Trump issued a warning on Saturday via Truth Social. He wrote, “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.” Trump designates Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group The President also designated certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood organization as a terrorist group, as of Sunday.  CounterExtremism.com has counted 48 extremist individuals and groups tied to the Brotherhood. As a Muslim Brotherhood host, the nation of Qatar has transferred $1.8 billion to Gaza since 2012, some of which reportedly has gone to Hamas. That information was revealed through recent audits. 65 people died from Ebola in Congo, Africa The Democratic Republic of the Congo is dealing with another Ebola outbreak — 65 cases confirmed and 45 deaths, reports U.S. News & World Report. The last major Congolese outbreak occurred in 2018. The virus is as dangerous as rabies, the Marburg virus, and the Avian flu. Exodus 4:11 reminds us that God is in control of all health issues: “So the Lord said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord?” Russian-Ukrainian negotiations at stalemate In other world news, the Russo-Ukrainian conflict negotiations are approaching another stalemate. Ukraine announced they will not accept territorial concessions. And French President Emmanuel Macron announced an endorsement of using frozen Russian assets to help fund Ukraine's defense. Japanese court upholds ban on homosexual marriage Japan's Tokyo court upheld the homosexual marriage ban as constitutional, reports the BBC. Of Asian states, only Thailand, Nepal, and Taiwan have legalized the practice thus far. Christian ministries ranked most and least transparent Ministry Watch has released its 2025 ratings of American ministries for financial efficiency, transparency, and donor confidence. Of the largest ministries in the United States, Medicine For All People International, Grand Canyon University, World Relief, Christian Aid Ministries, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and the Christian Broadcasting Network rate the highest. Lowest ratings go to Samaritan's Purse, Convoy of Hope, Baylor University, Pepperdine University, and Hillsdale College. Some controversy has been brewing recently over the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability and the Billy Graham Evangelical Association's withdrawal from the organization.  Top 3 ministries serving the persecuted Of the six ministries serving the persecuted saints, Ministry Watch rates International Christian Concern, Equipping the Persecuted, and Persecution Project highest for financial efficiency, transparency, and donor confidence. Voice of the Martyrs is rated lowest.   Equipping the Persecuted focuses on Nigeria, and Persecution Project has been actively serving the persecuted saints in Sudan, Africa. Folks, think about giving to the poor and the suffering this Christmas season. Proverbs 28:27 says, “He who gives to the poor will not lack, but he who hides his eyes will have many curses.” U.S. government ran a $1.8 trillion deficit The financial numbers are in for the U.S. government's fiscal year 2025, ending in October. The government ran a deficit of $1.8 trillion for the year. That's down $41 billion or 2% compared to the previous year.  However, revenues increased by $317 billion due to higher tariffs on imported goods. Spending was up a whopping 4% or $275 billion, driven by welfare and benefit programs, as well as rising interest payments on the public debt. Trump to pick new Federal Reserve Chairman U.S. President Donald Trump will soon announce his next pick for chairman of the Federal Reserve. The new pick is slated to replace Jerome Powell in May of next year. Gold hits $4,230/ounce and silver hits $58/ounce Metals are still on the rise again. Gold hit $4,230 per ounce and silver topped $58.00 per ounce. Bitcoin is still down 31% over two months ago. FDA admits COVID-19 shots killed U.S. kids The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has acknowledged, for the first time, that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children. According to Politico, Vinay Prasad, the vaccine chief for the FDA, issued a memo in which he revealed that FDA staff “found … at least 10 children have died after and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccination.” This comes from an “initial analysis of 96 deaths (associated with the vaccine taking place) between 2021 and 2024.” TN Democrat opposes Christian prayer in public forum And finally, the Christian faith appears to be at stake -- in a tight election in Tennessee for the 7th District Congressional seat. The Democrat candidate Aftyn Behn has gone on record stating she is opposed to Christian prayer in the public forum.   President Donald Trump took to Truth Social yesterday. He warned that Behn “hates Christianity, will take away your guns, wants Open Borders. . . men in women's sports, and openly disdains Country music.” The latest polls show the Republican candidate, Van Epps, is holding a slight lead in today's election.

Today, I sit down with Sam Jones from Equipping the Persecuted, an organization that is on the ground in Nigeria helping with the persecuted Christians. For years Christians mainly in northern Nigeria have been slaughtered and kidnapped with hundreds of churches burned to the ground at the hand of Islamic terrorist groups. Myself and Sam together discuss the core beliefs of Islam that propels these actions, how the Nigerian government is spreading false narratives and what we as believers can do to help our brothers and sisters in Christ through this suffering.Please continue to pray for Christians all over the world that are facing persecution for the cause of Christ and that the Lord will transform the hearts of those doing the persecution as he did Paul. Stay up to date and learn more about Equipping the Persecuted here https://equippingthepersecuted.orgTruth Nigeria:https://truthnigeria.com/Connect with Victoria on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/vickoadeoye/Podcast YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thegospelalone

In our final installment of our Beatitudes series, Jim Weaver explores the "congratulations" for persecution. We will be persecuted if we stand for God and proclaim the Gospel. Find out why that's important! Foundation Stones Book: https://a.co/d/anXFimISupport the show

What do you do when you're misrepresented, insulted, or spoken about unfairly? Jesus calls moments like these blessed—not because they feel good, but because they form us. Persecution isn't a sign that something has gone wrong; it's often proof that God is doing something right. In this final week of our Good News for Broken Hearts series, Alan helps us see that every assignment attracts adversaries as we sit under the text. Bitterness shrinks the heart. Love enlarges it. When we pray instead of react, when we stay patient instead of demanding, God uses what hurts to shape what lasts. Our pain can either harden us or become holy ground—an invitation to deeper purpose. Jesus calls us salt and light—people who don't hide, don't withdraw, and don't let darkness define them. Your pain isn't pointless; it's potential. Don't waste it. The harvest on the other side of tears is real. If you've ever wondered how to keep your heart soft when life goes below the belt, this message is for you. God doesn't just heal broken hearts—He enlarges them.

Matthew 5 | Everyone wants to be happy, but what if everything we thought about the way to get it was wrong? What if ‘the good life' – or ‘the blessed life' as Jesus calls it in his very first sermon – was found in the very places we often try to avoid? Tune in to hear our series on The Beatitudes, where we learn about the life God calls us to, how it looks nothing like we think, and why it's better than we could ever imagine.

In today's devotional, Dr. Michael A. Youssef challenges us to seek God's glory above everything else in life.If you would like more insight into today's devotional topic, listen to Dr. Michael A. Youssef's sermon Happiness Is in You, Part 8: WATCH NOW

As we conclude our study of the Beatitudes, Jesus names the cost of peacemaking: persecution, misunderstanding, and resistance. Yet, He also promises a reward so glorious that it transforms suffering into joy. This Sunday, we'll discover what seems impossible: rejoicing in suffering, finding blessing in persecution, and experiencing the kingdom of God where we would least expect to find it.

Allie and Judd Saul, the founder of Equipping the Persecuted, expose how the mainstream media is downplaying Nigeria's Christian genocide. Thousands slaughtered, villages erased, churches burned by radical Fulani jihadists, while the government turns a blind eye. However, the tide may be turning, as Donald Trump has vowed to take action to protect Christians, while Nicki Minaj brought attention to the genocide at the United Nations. Hope rises amid horror. Join us to pray, awaken the church, and stand with our persecuted family before it's too late.

Revolutionary Loyalty and Early Family Tensions. Joseph Turigian discusses the life of Xi Zhongxun, a devoted but persecuted revolutionary communist, emphasizing his deep loyalty to the party, reminiscent of Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon. The segment explores the revolutionary mindset where personal suffering proves dedication to a world-historical force. It also details Xi Zhongxun's compelling first marriage to Ha Minghu, a tough peasant revolutionary who struggled to balance motherhood and the demands of the early, male-dominated Chinese Communist Party. Guest: Joseph Turigian. 1899
