    When Christianity Is Not Legally Allowed — Persecution in Libya

    When Christianity Is Not Legally Allowed — Persecution in Libya

    In this episode, Jared and Nicolette share about the daily realities of Christianity in Libya, which is the third most dangerous country to live in as a Christian. The political scene is unstable and prone to conflict, but Christians face the added pressures of living in a nation governed by Shariah law, meaning that in the eyes of the authorities, there are no Christians in the country.
