    Culture of authority wielded predatorily

    Sending cultus is an idol, merely,

    Upon whose altar gleefully

    They sacrifice humility

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sharing the Gospel with Your Hindu Neighbors with Dr. Anna Daub - EP197
Q: What practical tips would you give to someone starting a conversation with a Hindu neighbor or colleague?
Don't fear what's different; focus on lifting Jesus high, start with questions, and explain what makes Jesus unique. Use stories, be patient, and tailor conversations to the person's beliefs, experiences, and context rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
The War in Iran from an Iranian Christian's Perspective with Dr. Kambiz Saghaey - EP196
Q: What are practical ways outsiders can support the Persian church right now?
Pray for courage, support online theological training programs like Mojde, assist with access to education for Persian speakers, and advocate for the safety of believers facing persecution.
The War in Iran from an Iranian Christian's Perspective with Dr. Kambiz Saghaey - EP196
Q: What should Western Christians praying from afar understand about the Iranian perspective on the conflict?
From inside Iran, the conflict is often seen as a path toward freedom and a catalyst for faith, whereas outsiders may misread it as a simple political struggle, so nuanced prayer and informed support are essential.
The War in Iran from an Iranian Christian's Perspective with Dr. Kambiz Saghaey - EP196
Q: Can you describe the current situation in Iran and how it affects day-to-day life for Christians there?
War and political shifts directly impact Christians through internet censorship, arrests of pastors, and increased government pressure, but they also galvanize believers to continue gospel work, adapt through online education, and rely on faith to sustain their ministries under duress.
Stories of the Sent: Animism and Syncretism in Sub-Saharan Africa with Brent and Amanda Turner - EP191
Q: What kinds of things has God done to keep you in your place of service when it looked like you might be unable to stay?
They emphasize faithfulness and a clear sense of call, choosing to remain where God placed them even in tough, landlocked environments, with a willingness to endure hardship in service.
