Today, on Karl and Crew, we discussed how, as Christ followers, there will be a time when we have to stand in the fire. As believers, there is no promise of a perfect life; we will endure hard times, but we are called to take joy in the midst of those trials. Dr. Sam Storms joined us to discuss embracing and rejoicing in suffering and persecution as a Christian. Dr. Storms is the founder and president of Enjoying God Ministries and serves on the Council of the Gospel Coalition. He is also the Executive Director of the Convergence Church Network. He has also authored several books, including “Understanding Spiritual Warfare: A Comprehensive Guide.” Then we had Peter Worrall join us to discuss persecution as a Christian and how he teaches this to his students. Peter is an Associate Professor of Educational Ministries at the Moody Bible Institute. He also wrote the book, “20 Things We’d Tell Our Twentysomething Selves.” We also turned to the phone lines to ask our listeners two questions: “What challenge in your life has God used to help you grow?” and “When have you experienced gospel opposition and how did God help you through it?” You can listen to the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach tackles a tough question: Is war ever the right response to Christian persecution? Prompted by reports of violence against believers in Nigeria and the Trump administration's suggestion of military action, Pastor Zach explores how followers of Jesus should think biblically about persecution, justice, and violence. Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss? Email us at wakeup@ccchapel.com!

Pastor Peter highlighted the state of the Church around the world—their perseverance in the face of persecution. 

Australians are keen travellers to many Southeast Asian countries, but day-to-day life for small populations of local Christians can be a struggle. This week on VOMAus Radio, Patrick and Noah discuss Christian life in a Muslim-dominant Asian nation [name of country withheld for security], including a special education outreach project for children without identification documents, and much sought-after leadership training for local pastors.

Is it true that the "blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church"? In this episode, Alex and Scott challenge the popular belief that persecution is inherently good for the church. Drawing from Ronald Boyd-MacMillan's article Does Persecution Always Bring Growth?, they argue that while persecution can refine believers, history shows it often destroys the local church entirely. They distinguish between short, intense persecution that may spark renewal and long-term systemic persecution that weakens or eliminates the church altogether. Alex and Scott discuss that Christians should not romanticize suffering and realize that persecution is a valuable tool that Satan uses against God's people. They stress the importance of religious freedom, both for evangelism and human dignity, urging Christians to defend it globally, and ultimately, they conclude that while God can bring good from persecution, it should never be desired or celebrated. Key Topics Misconceptions about persecution as beneficial for church growth Historical examples where persecution led to church extinction (e.g., Uyghur, Arabic, and Mongol eras) Distinction between short-term vs. long-term persecution effects The role of religious freedom in advancing the gospel Biblical and historical perspectives on persecution and faithfulness Do you love The Missions Podcast?

We Are More Than Conquerors Through Him Who Loved UsRomans 8:35-39 “Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered.”  No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.  For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,  nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”This scripture verse is letting us know that there is nothing that we can do that will separate us from God's love.  It is also telling us that we should not interpret the bad things that are happening in our lives as proof that God has stopped loving us.  God will continue to love us forever.  There is nothing that we can do to change this.  The verse is asking us if hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword will separate us from Christ.  This is a tough question because these things can separate us if we let them.  One really important part of this verse is when it says, “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”  Do you need to hear that again?  “We are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”If this is the case, then why do we feel so defeated at times?  Some of the things listed above can absolutely separate us from Christ if we let them.  Have you ever gone through a hardship and instead of feeling closer to God, you felt farther away?  Have you ever struggled to see where God was in all of your pain?  This can happen to a lot of people.  I just heard about a couple that lost one of their 6-month-old twins.  Loss of a child is something that can really strain your relationship with God.  Losing a loved one is always hard.  However, losing a child has got to be one of the hardest things to understand.  It makes no sense to us.  Why did she have to die?  Why would God do this to their family?  Why wouldn't God heal her, as we know that He can?  When we are hurting, we tend to lash out and we try to find someone to blame.  God is a good candidate as He is strong and He can take our anger.  God doesn't mind when we yell at Him, as He understands what we are going through.  The problem is when we don't process our anger and our grief, and we stay mad at God.  If we are able to lean into God instead of turning away from Him in anger, God can give us the strength to get back up again after we have been knocked down.  God can ease our pain and help us to get out of bed in the morning.  God can help us find a reason to go on.  We can do all things through Christ, who strengthens us.  We can defeat the grief we feel if we turn to God and ask Him to help us.  The same is true with any hardship you are going through.  Maybe you have lost your job, and you don't know how you are going to provide for your family right now.  Turn to God, and He will help you provide.  He will provide for you if you ask Him to. He is amazing!What about persecution and famine, could that separate you from Christ?  I can see how it could.  If you are being persecuted for your beliefs, you may start to hide your beliefs more so that you fit in with the crowd.  You may even compromise your beliefs just so that you do not get persecuted anymore.  Today, when I was listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, Father Mike read from 2 Maccabees 6.  It told the story of a wise old man named Eleazar.  The Greeks were trying to get the Jews to become more like the Greeks.  They were trying to force Eleazar to eat pork, which was against Jewish laws.  His friends were telling him that it would be ok, he could eat whatever meat he wanted to eat, but it would look like he was eating the pork.  The Greeks wouldn't know the difference, and Eleazar wouldn't have to die.  However, Eleazar refused, saying that if people saw him eat the meat and thought that he had gone against the Lord's law, then they too might sin, and He couldn't do that.  Eleazar was able to withstand the persecution, but what about those who didn't?  Persecution and famine can definitely mess with your head.  Most of us don't want to die, especially if that dying involves torture and a painful death.  We also don't want to starve to death. When you don't have anything to eat and you haven't had anything for a very long time, you will do something that you normally wouldn't.  The same goes for how you act when your life is on the line.  These things don't have to separate us from the Lord.  If we turn to Him and ask Him for help, we will get the help we are looking for.  Remember, it says right in this verse that, “We are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”  We can conquer anything with Christ.  He is there for us, and He will help us get through whatever it is we are going through.  The only thing we need to do is ask for this help and then accept when He offers it to us.  I know accepting help can be hard.  We think we need to be strong and do it all ourselves.  I am telling you, accept the help.  Accept the help, even if it looks different from what you thought it would.  You never know how God will reach out and help. Sometimes it is through a complete stranger, sometimes it is exactly what you asked for, and sometimes it is nothing like the help that you asked for.  The thing is, God knows best.  If he is sending you help, it is because that is exactly what you need right now.  Accept it.  Trust that He knows what He is doing.  I will end with the end of the verse, as I think it sums it up nicely, and it doesn't really need any explaining.  “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,  nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, help us to lean into you in times of distress and not turn away.  Lord, give us the strength to not let anything separate us from your love.  Give us the strength to get back up again when life knocks us down.  Help us to process our grief in a way that does not blame you for all that is going wrong.  Help us to see that you are with us through all the bad and the good.  We love you, Lord. You are so amazing. Help us to never forget that.  We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen.Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

Who are the Jehovah's Witnesses, and why do they knock on our doors? Today, we take a closer look at the origins of the Jehovah's Witnesses. We'll explore the creation of the movement, its growth, their translation of the Bible, and other fascinating topics... WELCOME TO Religion CAMP!

In this message, Billy Bodette continues the Set Apart series with a challenging word on living a consecrated life in the face of persecution. Drawing from the book of Zephaniah, he warns against the danger of complacency, a heart that no longer seeks God or depends on Him. Pastor Billy reminds us that God isn't after outward sacrifice but a broken and humble heart that He can heal and restore. The message calls believers to examine where they've grown comfortable, choose surrender over self, and live fully devoted lives marked by the fruit of the Spirit. When persecution comes, will we be found complacent—or consecrated?

In this message from Everyday Mission, we watch the church scatter under persecution and discover that this isn't a setback at all — it's the strategy of God. In Acts 8:1–8, the Holy Spirit moves Jesus' mission forward through everyday people and sends them to overlooked people, fulfilling the promise Jesus made in Acts 1:8. Philip, an ordinary servant, becomes a bold witness in Samaria, showing that the mission doesn't advance through the elite but through Spirit-filled believers willing to speak about the work of Christ in their own lives. God uses ordinary people to bring extraordinary joy to unexpected places.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

November 5, 2025 GUESTS:AUSTIN HUGGINS,Pastor of Mount Zion Bible Church in Pensacola, FL (home of ChapelLibrary.org) & Vice President of FirstLoveMinistries.org OSINACHI NWOKO,Pastor of Sovereign Grace Bible Church in Lagos, Nigeria TOPIC:“A LIVE REPORT FROM NIGERIA ABOUT the PERSECUTION of CHRISTIANS by MUSLIMS THERE” Subscribe: Listen:

In this message, Pastor John Conway continues the Set Apart series with a powerful reminder that being set apart doesn't protect us from persecution. It prepares us for it. Through the story of Daniel, we see that faithfulness in the face of resistance reveals the depth of our devotion to God. Pastor John challenges believers to live quiet yet steadfast lives marked by conviction, prayer, and faith that stand firm when the world pushes back. What if persecution isn't meant to break us, but to prove that our lives truly belong to Him?

In Revelation 13, the “beast” is described as having a mouth full of blasphemies—echoing Daniel's prophecy of the proud and defiant king. Steve Wood explains how this final Antichrist fulfills what Antiochus foreshadowed, and why God allows such evil to reign for a limited time. During this dark period, the saints—true followers of Christ—will face intense persecution. Yet Scripture reveals that they conquer by being conquered, just as their Savior did. This episode explores the mystery of endurance, the meaning of “it was given” and “it was allowed,” and how the Church's final trial fulfills the Catechism's teaching on the Antichrist (CCC 675).

EP #35 | Rewire Your Brain: The Peace & Positivity Podcast: 10 Lessons God Has Taught Me About Persecution/Spiritual Warfare/Testing Seasons Do you ever feel stuck in anxious, looping thoughts—no matter how hard you try to "just think positive"? Today's episode brings scripture and neuroscience together to help you break free. Whether you're battling burnout, depression, stress, or overwhelm, this is your step by step Bible study and devotion time that is rooted in scripture and the science of how God created your brain to heal.   Today's Scripture: Matthew 5:10-11 ESV Today's Gratitude Challenge Prompt covers our last verses in the Beautitudes, 10-11. I've been in a hard season of warfare/testing/persecution and even though I am not all the way out of it yet, God is calling me to share 10 lessons He has taught me during this season to help equip you and those you love during the harder seasons. Today's Prayer Request: I would be so grateful for your prayers for my Dad, Tommy Morrow. Lord Jesus, we ask you for a miracle for his healing and a peace that surpasses all understanding. We specifically pray for his lungs to heal and restoration and healing to the other organs of his body. Surround him with the care he needs right now and remind his heart and mind how loved he is Jesus- that his life is worth fighting for. We ask all these things in your Heavenly Name, Lord, Amen.

Jesus warned His followers they would face persecution—from synagogues, prisons, and even their own families. But rather than promising escape, He promised something better: divine wisdom in the moment of trial and eternal protection. Dr. John examines Luke 21:12-19, showing how Paul transformed imprisonment into opportunity and how Jesus calls us not to anxious preparation, but to joyful confidence that persecution becomes our greatest platform for witness.The End of the Age: Our desire to see into the future is more than curiosity. We want to know what will happen so we can be prepared. If we know what the weather will be, what the stock market will do or how our job interview will turn out, we can adjust accordingly. In this 10-message series, Dr. John Neufeld teaches on Jesus' words and actions from Luke 21-22. Jesus points to the end of the age and describes what will be. While He doesn't answer our question of "When?", Jesus tells believers how to be ready. If we live as prepared people, the timing of Jesus' return will not catch us off guard.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Rev. Shah Ahmadi with Iran Alive Ministry knows what it means to follow Jesus in difficult places. “Seems in the history opposite the places more persecution, God works, grows stronger. Seems persecution is a key. We see in the book of Acts. We see in China, we see in Iran, we see in Nepal, we see there…not just God Himself intervene. God works in a way supernaturally. And people, they lay down their life.” When the world tries to silence the Church, God makes it speak louder. In persecution, the Gospel doesn't weaken. Believers who stand firm in their faith they know to be absolutely true inspire others to follow Jesus, no matter the cost. So whatever opposition you face today, remember—God's work can't be stopped. Let's join Him in what He is doing and stand for Jesus and share the Gospel. To watch the full interview with Rev. Shah Ahmadi, visit sharelife.today.

For the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, Rev. Dr. Jeff David preached a short sermon entitled “Persecution, the Unwanted Gift” from Matthew 5:11-12.

This week at Christ Street Fellowship, Pastor Nate continued our fall series Ascent: Walking up the Pilgrims' Pathway, by exploring Psalms 128 and 129 and showing how we can ascend through the fear of God, even in times of persecution.Psalm 128 reminds us that true blessing flows from a holy fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord, although not definable in a single, short definition, is about awe, reverence, honor, obedience, and intimacy with a God who is both powerful and good. We will learn that the fear of God doesn't drive us away, it draws us closer. We also learn that nearness to God is a place of safety, not danger. From Isaiah's trembling vision of the throne room to Jesus' delight in the fear of the Lord, Scripture shows that reverent awe leads to deeper friendship, wisdom, and blessing.Then, turning to Psalm 129, as pilgrims we are reminded that affliction will come, but it will not prevail. “The plowers plowed upon my back,” the psalmist writes, yet the Lord “cut the cords of the wicked.” We see parallels to Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 4 and Peter's encouragement in 1 Peter 5: though we suffer for a season, the God of all grace will restore, strengthen, and establish us.

Send us a textI have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.  John 16:33In recent weeks and months, a thread through many news events and stories seems to be violence and hatred against Christians (whether in the US or other parts of the world).  This hatred has escalated to a point in which we must not only be aware of it but also prepared to deal with it in practical, Biblical ways.  Today's episode dives into some responses we should take as Christians when we encounter hatred.  Jesus said we would have trouble (tribulation) in this life.  But He has also overcome the world.  Our response must be layered with grace and love, while at the same time, rooted in the truth of God's Word.  

Something unusual happens in ten short verses starting with Acts 7:59. The story turns quickly from Stephen’s horrific death by stoning to other believers in Christ being scattered and “preaching the word,” leading to these amazing words: “There was great joy in [the] city” (8:8). That’s the paradox of persecution. European pastor Hristo Kulichev experienced the miracle of good coming from evil. In the 1980s, he was arrested for preaching and thrown in prison. While there, he spoke openly about the gospel of Jesus. On his release eight months later, he said, “We had a more fruitful ministry there than we could have expected in church. God was better served by our presence in prison than if we had been free.” From persecution to great joy—just like in the early church. When “great persecution broke out” (Acts 8:1), “those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went” (v. 4). As a result, there was “great joy” in a city in Samaria (v. 8). When forces in our world stand against the truths and teachings of Scripture—especially the gospel—that’s not the time to give up. God moves in powerful ways when the church faces such difficulties. Peter said, “Do not be surprised” at such fiery trials. You’re “blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you” (1 Peter 4:12–14). God has the power to turn persecution into something precious.

Join Profs. Karoline Lewis, Rolf Jacobson, and Matt Skinner for Sermon Brainwave as they explore the texts for the Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost (November 16, 2025). This episode dives into Luke 21:5-19, focusing on Jesus's apocalyptic speech about the destruction of the temple and the call to bear witness through endurance. The hosts discuss what it means to testify in times of difficulty, how endurance is not just about getting through hard times but about embodying witness to God's provision. They explore connections between vulnerability and the desire for security, Luther's theology of vocation, and the ecological dimensions of Psalm 98. The conversation also tackles the challenging passage from 2 Thessalonians about work and busybodies, reframing Christian witness as living faithfully in everyday vocations. This episode offers practical preaching insights for the end of the liturgical year, emphasizing testimony, endurance, and faithful witness in a world of upheaval.

5. Monsieur Verdoux Flop and HUAC Persecution Scott Eyman Charlie Chaplin versus America: When Art, Sex, and Politics Collided Chaplin purchased the idea for Monsieur Verdoux from Orson Welles, but the 1947 film—a dark comedy about a serial killer—became his first commercial failure, released at an inopportune moment following World War II. Though the FBI had surveilled Chaplin and confirmed he was not a Communist, they sought to remove him due to his politics and what they deemed his "flamboyant sex life." HUAC avoided calling him to testify in order to maintain their narrative. Gossip columnist Hedda Hopper personally pursued a negative campaign against him, projecting her loathing of her ex-husband onto Chaplin. 1921

“I just want the Bible. How much does it cost?” First, the young Druze woman tried to access and read her own religion's holy book. But she wasn't allowed to read it. Then she tried to find a Quran. Finally, she came to a church and asked to purchase a Bible, worried she wouldn't have enough money to pay for it. The pastor told her that God's Word is priceless, but that he would give it to her without cost. Shocked, she took the Bible and began to read, eventually giving her life to Jesus. Brother Michael, a gospel worker in the Middle East, will share more of this young woman's powerful story and the Christian persecution she faced from her family while standing firm in Christ. In spite of persecution, even locked in a room, she continued to share the gospel. Learn what it's like to live as a Christian in the Middle East, and what believers face after leaving Muslim or Druze backgrounds to follow Christ. As believers engage in conversations with family and friends, they carefully plant spiritual seeds while testing their listeners' hearts to see if they are ready to go deeper. Brother Michael also shares how he trains and leads discipleship through Discovery Bible Study groups, which are multiplying as new believers share their personal testimonies with family and friends. One group started with nine believers, but today has multiplied into more than twenty groups with 150 believers! Hear how you can pray specifically for Brother Michael and our persecuted Christian family in the Middle East. The International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians (IDOP) is next Sunday! The Voice of the Martyrs offers resources to help you and your church pray for persecuted Christians on November 2–and throughout the year. Be sure to watch the new short film telling the story of ongoing Christian persecution in Democratic Republic of Congo—and how God is bringing healing to Christians who've suffered attacks and trauma. Access all the IDOP resources here.
