Alarming Persecution in Mozambique and Nigeria

Send us a text

What if the most urgent story in the Church isn’t happening where you live? We confront a hard truth: while many of us enjoy freedom and comfort, countless believers face danger for simply bearing the name of Jesus. That gap—between what we see and what they endure—shapes everything in this conversation, from how we pray to how we speak, spend, and stand.

We start with clarity from Scripture: cast your anxieties on God, be sober-minded, and stay watchful. Peace comes when our eyes fix on Christ, not the churn of headlines. From there, we face the brutal reports out of Mozambique, where ISIS-affiliated militants beheaded more than thirty Christians—an atrocity that barely surfaced in mainstream news. The silence is telling, and we name it. Not to score political points, but to expose how darkness thrives when suffering is hidden. We talk candidly about media blindspots, spiritual warfare, and the simple, resilient power of testimony: I was lost, and now I’m found. Jesus changed my life.

Across the episode, we hold a paradox together: persecution and revival often rise at the same time. That’s not whiplash—it’s biblical pattern and present reality. While some harden their hearts, the gospel still moves with quiet strength through weary places and courageous people. We explore how practical intercession, truthful sourcing, and mission-focused living reshape our perspective at home. The goal isn’t guilt; it’s alignment. When we remember our global family, lesser anxieties loosen their grip, and our courage grows steadier. We end with hope rooted in Revelation: Christ is Alpha and Omega, near and sure, calling us to endure with clear eyes and warm hearts.
