Faith Cha's mother and grandmother fled North Korea for their lives. Miraculously, they survived the violence when many around them did not. Not only did they survive, but God crossed their paths with Christians who helped them.These believers—normal people of no renown—played huge roles in the lives of these women by small acts of kindness and grace. These blessings not only helped these women fleeing North Korea, but also the next generation. Faith herself was richly blessed by kind Christians who loved and encouraged her as a refugee kid, confused in a strange, new country.Through this journey and divine interactions, a spiritual legacy was born. In time, Faith and her husband carried forth that spiritual legacy in surprising, but fitting, ways. They crossed the globe to make Christ known to Muslims in Central Asia. And today they help others minister to refugees, just as others once helped her frightened mom and grandma.Be encouraged. This testimony reminds us that even our smallest acts of kindness can make powerful impacts in the lives of others. God can use them to transform lives, families, communities and even generations.To learn more about resources mentioned in this episode, see the following.Crescent Project (Ministry): https://www.crescentproject.org/Christian Emergency Alliance: https://www.christianemergency.com/Follow the Christian Emergency Alliance on Twitter: @ChristianEmerg1Follow the Christian Emergency Alliance on Facebook: @ChristianEmergencyThe Christian Emergency Podcast is a production of the Christian Emergency Alliance.Soli Deo Gloria

- Wade Orsini - Genesis 3:1-7 Everything boils down to God's word vs. Satan's word. Who will image-bearers believe? This very reality creates a war of truth against falsehood. And fittingly, it begins here in Genesis, the book of beginnings. May you cling to God's Word like a light unto your path and steer clear of Satan's word, as it is the evil way that leads to darkness. Christ, be our Light. Soli Deo Gloria!

In many countries today, “privilege” has become a loaded term. But in the midst of a dying world, those saved by the Gospel truly are privileged.

David has served for over 20 years in southeast Asia and is passionate to see unreached people groups gain access to the Gospel.David borrows from his experiences - such as smuggling Bibles in China, being interrogated, or serving in conflict zones - to help us understand how we can live joyful, faithful lives despite challenges.

Jeff Durbin -Proverbs 13:24- We are in the final stages of our study of the Book of Proverbs, Today, we are going to meditate upon the many instances in the glorious book where God speaks to how we are to love our children with discipline. The world is broken and sinful. However, God gives us His loving instruction and wisdom on how to help to guide, transform, and correct the heart of a child so that when they are older they know how to walk and live in His world. I pray that God uses these truths to transform us all. Soli Deo Gloria!

Soli Deo Gloria Exodus 20:1-3 May 17, 2026 Pastor Tony Felich ----more---- Exodus 20:1 And God spoke all these words, saying, [2] “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. [3] “You shall have no other gods before me.  Proposition: The Ten Commandments are first and foremost a revelation of the character of Almighty God — they show us who He is before they tell us what to do. Second, they are given to the redeemed as the pathway of grateful worship and covenant allegiance to the God who has saved them. Third, our chronic failure to keep them is itself a mercy — it humbles us, exposes our moral bankruptcy, and drives us again and again to the Savior without whom we have no standing before a holy God.    •    The God of Grace (1-2) “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out.”        •    God's First Command (3) “You shall have no other gods before me”.                  What the command reveals about God                 How the command is to be obeyed Westminster Shorter Catechism Q. 47. What is forbidden in the first commandment? A. The first commandment forbiddeth the denying, or not worshiping and glorifying the true God as God, and our God; and the giving of that worship and glory to any other, which is due to him alone. Westminster Larger Catechism Q. 104. What are the duties required in the first commandment? A. The duties required in the first commandment are, the knowing and acknowledging of God to be the only true God, and our God; and to worship and glorify him accordingly, by thinking, meditating, remembering, highly esteeming, honoring, adoring, choosing, loving, desiring, fearing of him; believing him; trusting, hoping, delighting, rejoicing in him; being zealous for him; calling upon him; giving all praise and thanks, and yielding all obedience and submission to him with the whole man; being careful in all things to please him, and sorrowful when in anything he is offended; and walking humbly with him.

Jeff Durbin -Proverbs 28:1- We are in the final stages of our meditation upon God's Wisdom in the Book of Proverbs. Today, we will look to God's Word about what distinguishes the wicked from the righteous: boldness. The wicked flee and are cowards. The righteous are as bold as lions. Bold in life. Bold in death. Bold in conflict. Bold with the truth. May God, by His Spirit, make us bold. May God free us from the temptation to flee. Soli Deo Gloria!

In late March, 2026, Finland's Supreme Court shocked the world. Prodded by a relentless state prosecutor, the court convicted Paivi Rasanen — a member of Finland's Parliament and a former interior minister – under the country's criminal code designated for war crimes and crimes against humanity. What did this Christian grandmother and medical doctor do to warrant such a conviction? She helped write a pamphlet 20years ago that expressed biblical views about sexual morality. Shockingly, Paivi had already been prosecuted for these trumped up charges - twice! The Finnish courts in those cases examined the evidence and concluded the obvious: no crime had been committed. But the prosecutor kept appealing the case, finally reaching the Finnish Supreme Court. And that's where this farce unfolded. What exactly happened and why? How are Christians around Europe and the world to think about this absurd holding?Joining the Christian Emergency Podcast to answer these and other questions is Felix Boellmann. Dr. Felix Boellmann serves as the Director of European Advocacy for ADF International.
