    "They Stole Our Home: Transformed by War" | Valentyn & Luba Syniy

    What does it mean to lose your home — not just the walls and roof, but the place where you belong, where you are known, and where you meet with God? In this deeply moving conversation, Valentyn and Luba Syniy of the Tavriysky Christian Institute (TCI) in Ukraine share their firsthand experience of war, displacement, and faith. Valentyn, a theologian and seminary president, was born and raised in Kherson — a city that once had 350,000 residents and now has fewer than 60,000. When Russia occupied Kherson, he made the painful decision to evacuate the entire seminary — students, professors, and all — first to western Ukraine and then to Kyiv. Meanwhile, his elderly parents and his father, a pastor, stayed behind through nine months of brutal occupation. In this interview, Valentyn and Luba open up about: • The Russian military using TCI’s 15-acre campus as a military base and looting their library • The emotional wound of a Russian evangelical volunteer who stole Valentyn’s Bible and used it to teach soldiers at night • Losing staff and students to war — including a chaplain killed by a mine and a soldier killed by a drone • The deep theological meaning of “home” — as family, city, church, and nation • New Ukrainian churches planted across Europe by refugees • TCI’s new master’s programs in Chaplaincy and Peace Building • Why true reconciliation between Russia and Ukraine requires repentance first • Valentyn’s upcoming book in English: Serving God Under Siege: How War Transformed a Ukrainian Community (releasing October 2025) Guest: Valentyn and Luba Syniy, Tavriysky Christian Institute (TCI), UkraineBook: Serving God Under Siege: How War Transformed a Ukrainian Community by Valentyn Syniy • Ukrainian/Russian title: The Man Whose Home Was Stolen • English release: October 2025 | Publisher: Eerdmans Publishing
