Podcasts about Persecution

Biden Pardons & Autopen Controversy The discussion centers on claims that President Joe Biden improperly delegated or failed to personally authorize thousands of pardons and commutations at the end of his presidency. Cruz argues that under the Constitution, only the President can personally make pardon decisions, and if staffers used an autopen without Biden’s direct involvement, those pardons are “null and void.” The conversation highlights concerns about Biden’s alleged disengagement, potential misuse of authority by White House staff, and the legal battles that could arise if the Department of Justice revisits these pardons. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria Cruz introduces legislation addressing severe religious persecution in Nigeria, where extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa have killed tens of thousands of Christians, attacked churches, and kidnapped priests. The proposed bill, the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, would classify Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern,” impose sanctions on complicit Nigerian officials, and reinforce designations against jihadist groups. Cruz frames this as part of his long-standing advocacy for global religious freedom and draws parallels to past cases, such as Sudan’s imprisonment of Miriam Ibrahim for her Christian faith.

1 in 9 Christians around the world experience persecution in some form. Host Casey Harper is joined by former U.S. representative and current Chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, Vicky Hartzler, and Family Research Council’s Arielle Del Turco as they highlight the growing threat and violence towards Christians worldwide. Chair Hartzler shares the work she is doing, how the U.S. federal government can aid those who are persecuted, and highlights heartbreaking stories of Christians who have lost their lives for the sake of the gospel. Persecution is real. How can you aid your brothers and sisters who are experiencing it?

In this Bible Story, we see Jesus through the eyes of Peter. His mighty works of healing and acts of compassion bring Peter to his knees. He truly sees that Jesus is a man worth following, and he would soon come to the understanding that Jesus is God himself. This story is inspired by Matthew 8:14-17, Mark 1:22-38, Luke 4:31-44, Luke 5:1-11.

Just as they were getting ready to turn in, Jesus came to them asking to use their boat as a platform to teach from. After He was done, Jesus told Peter and Andrew that if they went back out into deeper waters they would catch fish. Though there may have been some reluctance, Peter obeyed and to his amazement, they took in a catch so big that the nets began to break. This got Peter’s attention. Later that week, as Jesus was walking around Galilee, a leper approached Him and begged Jesus to cleanse him. Breaking all convention Jesus touched the man and he was made clean!Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

The Certainty of Tribulation “In the world ye shall have tribulation…” — John 16:33 Tribulation includes: Persecution for faith (“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” — 2 Timothy 3:12). Personal hardship — sickness, loss, financial struggle, relational heartbreak. Spiritual conflict — battles with temptation, doubts, and the assaults of the enemy.

This week we start to see some of the most intense persecution of the Saints.  Why did the Missourians hate the “Mormons” so much?  With a little bit of context, we find that it was all about R.E.S.P.E.C.T.If you'd like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here!

Jesus flips our understanding of blessing upside down in the Beatitudes, showing that true blessing comes through humility, mercy, and even persecution for His sake. In this message, Executive Pastor, Glenn Goldsberry, breaks down Jesus's revolutionary teaching from the Beatitudes and dives into what it means to live as citizens of God's kingdom in today's world. #alloflifealltheearth #walkgrowlive #christian #church #jesus Renaissance Church - Richmond, Texas https://ren-church.org

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Persecution means facing pressure, rejection, or harm when our lives reflect Jesus. Today, 380 million Christians worldwide face persecution, with many experiencing violence, imprisonment, social rejection, verbal attacks, and systemic discrimination. The world persecutes Christians because the Gospel fundamentally opposes worldly values. Yet the reward for enduring persecution is the kingdom of heaven—not just a future hope but a present reality of revival, healing, and transformation. When we face persecution for righteousness, we gain the kingdom both now and forever.

Acts 12:1-24 Today we cover the question of why James and not Peter, as James is beheaded and Peter is set free. Reflecting on our own reasons to follow Jesus in our daily life as he is or Savior and Lord. 

We begin 2 Thessalonians with Paul's praise for their growing faith and love for one another. He goes on to tell us that their perseverance is sign that God was right in calling them. It is also a warning to those who were persecuting them that they would face the wrath of God.

We continue in our series in Acts 8:1-8.

“Brother Bayram” is back to finish the conversation we began last week. He came to the United States from Türkiye (formerly Turkey) to further his education and start a business. One day, a Christian woman came to his business and gave Bayram a New Testament. He began to read, beginning a path that would lead him to faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Son of God. Hear stories of people in Türkiye leaving Islam and embracing Jesus Christ—and the persecution they've endured for making that decision. What are the truths that draw them? What are the misunderstandings of the gospel that Christians can address with Muslims? How do new Christians in Türkiye think about revealing to Muslim family members that they now follow Christ? Bayram will tell the story of a young atheist who, after talking with Bayram for an entire evening, saw Jesus in two dreams. This young man embraced the gospel and became a follower of Jesus. It was a costly decision: as soon as he became a Christian, everyone around him became an enemy. Listen as Bayram equips us to pray for Türkiye and for our Christian brothers and sisters there. You can connect online with Brother Bayram and his ministry at www.albtci.org. In the VOM Radio archives, you can hear David Byle tell his story of persecution in Türkiye. You may also be interested in hearing American Pastor Andrew Brunson and his wife, Norine, tell their story of imprisonment and persecution there.

Persecution Increasing

Send us a textWhile growing up mainly in the United States, Naghmeh Panahi returned to Iran as an adult to witness and participate in an explosive Christian revival the world had never seen. This journey is a testament to tenacious faith and the depths of God's love for his suffering people. While in Iran, Naghmeh fell in love with a dynamic young pastor, Saeed Abedini, who led countless Iranians to Jesus. Together, they witnessed miracles and planted churches across Iran. But shortly after Naghmeh's marriage, a dark side of Saeed began to emerge, and it nearly killed Naghmeh.

Conversations on Groong - September 4, 2025In this episode of Conversations on Groong, we speak with international human rights lawyer Robert Amsterdam about the arrest and pre-trial detention of Armenian businessman and Church benefactor Samvel Karapetyan. We explore how Armenia's courts are being used in a campaign of lawfare targeting political opponents and the Armenian Apostolic Church, following growing tensions between Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's government and religious leaders. Amsterdam discusses the legal inconsistencies, the weaponization of pre-trial detention, and how these actions violate international norms. We also examine the broader consequences for Armenia's legal system, religious freedom, and international reputation.Topic: Arrest of Samvel KarapetyanPre-trial detention practicesLawfare and double standardsArmenia's global consequencesGuest: Robert AmsterdamHosts: Hovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 468 | Recorded: September 4, 2025SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/468VIDEO: https://youtu.be/0aa4tvYVL7M#Lawfare #Armenia #ReligiousFreedom #PoliticalPrisoners #SamvelKarapetyanSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

In this Bible Story, Jesus performs the first of many miracles at a wedding in Cana. By the request of his mother, Jesus blesses a wedding by turning water into wine. Although the guests are not aware of this miracle, the servants and disciples know, and awe at the humble power of Christ. They knew even more that he was the promised Messiah.

A few days later, Jesus and His followers were at a wedding in the nearby city of Cana. There, he performed the first of His signs.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

In this Bible Story, we peer into the childhood of Jesus. Even as a young boy, his purpose is clear. He is to teach the word of God and turn people’s hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. Although his family doesn't entirely understand, Jesus grows up with purpose and mission. He grows in strength and wisdom, works as a carpenter, and waits to begin his ministry.

David Reeves once believed his role in missions was to give generously to the ministries he knew. But after a moment of full surrender as a young man, God redirected his path toward a life of hands-on impact that would ripple across missions, Bible translation, and church planting worldwide. Starting out with an electrical engineering degree, David first served in tech support for a missionary aviation organization—work that eventually led him to leadership as general manager and later president. Today, he serves as the President and CEO of unfoldingWord, where he is pioneering a church-centered approach to Bible translation. With more than 40 years of international leadership experience across cultures and sectors, David offers a rare perspective on how God weaves together innovation, missions, and radical generosity. Under his leadership, unfoldingWord is equipping local churches to translate Scripture into their own languages using open-source tools—shifting Bible translation from centralized projects to sustainable, grassroots movements led by the global Church. Major Topics Include: Using business as a means to access Scripture and the gospel in challenging places The providential story of Unfolding Word Making the local church the hero of the story The seven key ideas of the Church-centric Bible translation model Turbo-charging church planting movements with Bible translation Why having Scripture in someone's heart language is important Unfolding Word's impact on the Bible translation ecosystem The benefits of the Creative Commons licensing model  Increasing Scripture engagement  Difficult lessons in trusting God QUOTES TO REMEMBER “From Pentecost to Revelation, the entire narrative is about the church.” “How do we make the local church the hero of the story?” “If we ever hope to finish the Great Commission in our lifetime, we have to stand on the centrality of the Church.” “The Church operates in a healthy form as a complex network.” “Persecution often creates unity movements. People don't care what your denomination or your background is. If you're in the midst of persecution, you're a loved and welcomed bother or sister in Christ.” “The most effective way to share the gospel is in the heart language.” “The heart language of a community is the language of weddings and funerals.” “Bible translation's proper place belongs to the Church as a tool for discipleship and church planting.” “Our passion is to empower modern-day ‘Pauls' and church planters to help them to complete the Great Commission.” “There is no Scripture engagement problem. It's integral to church-centric Bible translation.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Unfolding Word Wycliffe Bible Translators (see our interview with CEO John Chesnut) Loving the Church, Blessing the Nations by George Miley 2414 Network Biblica Open Bible Stories What Happens When Christians and Muslims Translate Scripture Side by Side (Christianity Today) Every Tribe, Every Nation and IllumiNations Bible Translation Alliance (see our interview with Todd Peterson or John Chesnut) Letting Go – UnfoldingWord's publication on licensing The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Revelation 7:9 | A Great Multitude from Every Nation   After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,   2 Timothy 2:2 | Teaching Teachers   and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

Nous sommes le 18 février 1937, à Bad Tölz, en Bavière. Dans un discours prononcé devant des officiers SS, Heinrich Himmler explique le danger que représente, à ses yeux, l'homosexualité pour la nation allemande. Il dit : « Si j'admets qu'il y a un à deux millions d'homosexuels, cela signifie que 7 à 8% ou 10% des individus de sexe masculin sont homosexuels. Et si la situation ne change pas, cela signifie que notre peuple sera anéanti par cette maladie contagieuse. (…) L'homosexuel est naturellement un objet idéal de pression, d'abord parce qu'il est lui-même passible de sanctions, deuxièmement parce que c'est un type malléable, et troisièmement parce qu'il est veule et dépourvu de toute volonté. (…) Aujourd'hui encore, il se présente tous les mois un cas d'homosexualité dans la SS (... ) J'ai donc décidé la chose suivante : dans tous les cas, ces individus seront officiellement dégradés, exclus de la SS et traduits devant un tribunal. Après avoir purgé la peine infligée par le tribunal, ils seront internés sur mon ordre dans un camp de concentration et abattus pendant une « tentative d'évasion ». (…) J'espère ainsi extirper ces gens de la SS - jusqu'au dernier. Je veux préserver le sang noble que nous recevons dans notre organisation et l'œuvre d'assainissement racial que nous poursuivons pour l'Allemagne. » Himmler conclut ainsi : « Messieurs, les égarements sexuels provoquent les choses les plus extravagantes que l'on puisse imaginer. Dire que nous nous conduisons comme des animaux serait insulter les animaux. Car les animaux ne pratiquent pas ce genre de choses. Une vie sexuelle normale constitue donc un problème vital pour tous les peuples". Selon les estimations, près de 100 000 homosexuels ont été fichés par le régime nazi ; 50 000 environ ont l'objet d'une condamnation ; entre 5 000 et 15 000 ont envoyés en camp de concentration, où la plupart ont péri. A l'heure où l'on constate, en Europe, une augmentation des actes contre les LGBT, revenons sur leur situation durant la période nazie.

Persecution of the Christian community is on the increase in the world's most populous country, India. In this Hindu-dominated nation, laws are often stacked against Christians and believers can pay a price for following Christ and sharing the Good News with others.Despite this opposition, host Michael Woolworth and his guest, Bobby (last name withheld for security purposes) affirm that the Gospel is spreading in India. And God is using Bible League programs, such as Church Planter Training, to equip pastors like Rakesh to face these challenges with courage and wisdom, and to grow their churches to His glory and honor. You'll also learn how to meaningfully support Christians facing persecution in India.Subscribe and invite others to listen with you. Length: 20:17.

19th Sunday in Ordinary Time - The sweetness of the Word and its ability to overcome persecution and suffering."

In the days and weeks after Pentecost, it must have seemed like a glorious time as people broke bread together in each other's homes, and soaked in the apostles' teaching. Peter and John were publicly healing people, thousands believed in Jesus, and the gospel began to sweep through even Samaria. But trouble soon came. First, John and Peter were arrested. Then the Greek widows were not being treated fairly, and more leaders were needed. Persecution began, one of the new leaders, Stephen, was martyred. Then Peter was dragged off in chains again. What did the church do in response?  If you'd like a preview, read Acts 4:31, then read Acts 12. This week's message is more of a Bible study as we dive in together and discover what we can learn from their early experience.Joanne Hagemeyer

Uflourish Church member and lay minister Dr. Kimara Ellefson continues our series in Philippians with chapter 1, verses 12-18, unpacking the ways Paul's persecution actually advanced the Gospel and his perspective through it all challenges us today to humbly follow God's leading through any trials of our own.

Brother Bayram came to the United States from Türkiye (Turkey) to further his education. He started a business, where one day a Christian customer gave Bayram a New Testament. He began to read it, the beginning of a path that would lead him to faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and the Son of God. It was a costly decision: his devout Muslim wife divorced him and wouldn't allow him to see their daughter. His brother had Bayram committed to a mental hospital, thinking anyone who would leave Islam was mentally unstable. It has been a difficult road, but Bayram's faith has only grown stronger as he has seen God work in his life and his country. Listen as he shares the story of his journey to Christ, and how his family pressured him to return to Islam and persecuted him for his Christian faith. He'll also share stories of others still meeting Jesus in Türkiye. Bayram will encourage and instruct listeners about how we—like the woman who gave him a New Testament—might help lead Muslims where we are toward Christ. You can connect online with Brother Bayram and his ministry at www.albtci.org. We'll finish this conversation with Bayram next week on VOM Radio. Between now and then, you can hear David Byle tell his story of persecution in Türkiye. You may also be interested in hearing American Pastor Andrew Brunson and his wife, Norine, tell their story of imprisonment and persecution in Türkiye.

Pastor Shola begins from Hebrews 12:22–24 NKJV, teaching that the Old Testament is Jesus concealed, while the New Testament is Jesus revealed (Genesis 7:1 NKJV). He references Acts 7:37 NKJV and Matthew 16:13–19 NKJV, when Jesus was speaking about His identity, and reminds us that Christ means the Anointed One (Acts 10:38).The first time Jesus used the word translated as church was in Matthew 16:18, when He spoke to Peter. The original Greek word is ekklesia, meaning “assembly” or “the called-out ones.” Pastor Shola teaches that the church was instituted by revelation (Matthew 16:19 NKJV) but its formation did not happen until the book of Acts.The Book of Acts can be divided into three sections:- Acts 1–7: centers on Peter and reflects the apostolic vision of the early church, with the message directed primarily to the Jews.- Acts 9–28: highlights the ministry of Paul, where the gospel extends to the Gentiles.- Acts 8–12: covers matters arising as the church was growing stronger.Pastor Shola notes that three people were key in propagating the gospel:- Paul (Acts 8)- The Ethiopian Eunuch (Acts 8:27)- Cornelius (Acts 10:1–3)The Purpose of the Church- God's system on the earth (1 Timothy 3:15)- The body of Christ, with Jesus as the head (Colossians 1:16 NKJV)- A collection/gathering of believers (1 Corinthians 12:27 NKJV, Acts 11:22 NKJV)- The house of prayer (Matthew 21:13 NKJV)- A place of diversity (Romans 12:14 NKJV)- A place to be built (Ephesians 2:19 NKJV)- A place of doctrine (Acts 2:42 NKJV, 1 Timothy 5:21 NKJV)- A place of fellowship (Hebrews 10:24 NKJV)- A place to offer spiritual sacrifices (1 Peter 2:4)- A place where the Lord requires meat/supplies (Malachi 3:10 NKJV)- A place where angels are allocated (1 Timothy 5:21 NKJV)Church History in Six Periods- 30–300 AD: Pastor Shola mentioned that this was the birth of the church (Acts 15). The gospel spread through passion, discipleship, love, and miracles. Persecution later scattered believers (Acts 2, Genesis 11), which God used to fulfill His plan to reach the nations.- 300–600 AD: He highlighted the rise of the Apostolic Fathers. In 380 AD, Christianity became the state religion of Rome under Theodosius I.- 600–1000 AD: Pastor Shola noted this period was marked by the rise of Islam.- 1000–1500 AD: He explained that this era, known as the Dark Ages, saw Muslims conquer much of the Middle East, Christians begin to fight back, and the formation of the papacy in Rome.- 1500–1600 AD: Pastor Shola described this as the Reformation period, beginning with the pre-Protestant movement. (In Bible history, the previous move always fights the current move.)- 1600 AD – Present: He concluded by pointing to the Evangelical movement and later the rise of Pentecostalism.Pastor Shola concludes that God is raising cosmopolitan believers (Isaiah 2:3) and mighty men so that when Christ comes every space will be covered. The church is not man made but God's system on the earth, instituted by revelation and formed in Acts. It is the body of Christ, called to be His witness, His dwelling, and His instrument for global transformation.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

In liberal theological circles the "Preterists" have decided that the current state of Israel is insignificant as are the Jewish People.  God judged Israel in AD 70 by destroying the Temple and sacking Israel once and for all.  The CHURCH is the NEW Israel. This is called "replacement theology" and it seeks to claim the nullification of Israel of the Old Testament with regards to the it's importance in the current day and the future.  In short God is done with Israel-  In this episode Neil and I ask the question: If that's true why are so many seeking to elminate them from the Earth?  What's the big deal?

Hana Menghisteab is back on VOM Radio this week in a follow-up conversation after sharing with us on the 20th anniversary of her father's arrest in Eritrea. This week, Hana shares how that interview—really the first time she'd spoken publicly about her father and her family's suffering—was painful, but also how God used it to open a door for healing in her life. Before his arrest in 2004, Dr. Tecleab Menghisteab was a medical doctor and a leader in the Eritrean Orthodox Church. He is one of more than 300 Christians currently in prison in Eritrea. Hana was six years old when her father was arrested. Hana will tell how growing up without her father left her wounded in many areas of her life. However, Hana says, “God does not waste pain; He doesn't waste the years of tears.” Instead, the Lord uses suffering to display His glory. Hana says her interview last year opened wounds she'd wanted to keep covered up. “God forced me to reopen them and partake in my father's suffering,” she says. She'll tell how the Lord has allowed her to surrender her wounds to Him and encouraged her to be bold in sharing her story with others. She'll also share how an internship at VOM impacted her understanding of suffering and how God works through it. Hearing and reading stories of sisters and brothers also afflicted with suffering for their faith has shown Hana the beauty of those scars, even amidst the pain. Listen to Hana's previous visit with VOM Radio. There are a few seats remaining at VOM's From the Field 2025 National Conference. The conference will take place in Bartlesville, Oklahoma September 25-27. Attendees will hear from persecuted Christians—including several former VOM Radio guests—during the conference.
