    98. Dangerous Evangelism: Reaching the Fulani of Northern Nigeria, with Evangelist Musa Bello

    Northern Nigeria today is arguably the most dangerous place for Christians today. Thousands of believers have been eliminated, maimed and displaced by Islamists for years. Many of those attacks came from the Fulani, a large Muslim-majority tribe. The Fulani pose a serious risk for indigenousChristians living in northern Nigeria. Amazingly, God is moving among the Fulani. One young man – Musa Bello – converted to Christianity, went to bible training, and now evangelizes among the Fulani. The evangelist Musa Bello is joyful and exudes gratitude. You would never know he faces one of the most dangerouscallings in Christendom. Like Musa, how can you serve faithfully when ministry can be costly, maybe even dangerous? What does obedience look like in the face of very real persecution? Listen to this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast and learn from Musa Bello yourself.

    Ancient Gospel, Brave New World, with E.D. Burns (Encore)

    Cross-cultural missions is an exciting calling. But Christians may be surprised to learn there are real problems in the missions community. The woke theology many believers have recently discovered in their midst is not limited to our home countries. In fact, woke theology has wormed its way into other countries through western missionaries. Missionaries getting ready to launch into the field may have no clue this is going on. Many pastors, missions committees and lay Christians are in the dark too. What is going on and how can churches respond? In this encore episode, veteran missionary and author E.D. Burns joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to shed helpful daylight on this important topic. He shares helpful insights from his recent book, Ancient Gospel, Brave New World. If this information is helpful to you, please give us a 5-star rating and a positive review. Likewise, share this episode with friends and fellow believers who need help standing up under mounting pressures.

    When Faithful Stands Cost You Your Job, with Aaron Edwards (Encore)

    Many Christians today fear their faith may one day cost them their job. They are not sure what to do.  Should they keep their faith secret? Simply go along to get along? What would it be like if they actually got fired for following Christ? Dr. Aaron Edwards knows a thing or two about getting fired for faithful stands. Believe it or not, he was recently fired as a Christian teacher from a Christian college for a Christian stand. His offense: publicly speaking out about sin infiltrating the Church. This was too much for Cliff College, a school in Britain. When internet rage mobs demanded Aaron lose his job, his employer quickly capitulated. It was difficult for Aaron, his wife, and their five children. But there was also surprising joy in faithfully standing and seeing God and fellow believers respond. His story reminds us that following Christ is high adventure, with plenty of drama but also joy. If this episode was helpful for you, please share it with your friends.

    97. Courageous Christian Leadership for Cratering Times, with Pastor Joel Wayne

    The Church today – in the West and the East – faces many challenges, yet is called to a momentous mission – namely, the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As challenges mount for the Church, carrying out our mission proves difficult. Not only that, some of those tasked with leading the Church have proven soft or ill-prepared. The need for courageous spiritual leadership in today’s Church is massive. But with too few of her leaders exhibiting these traits, what is the Church to do? Throw up our hands and pine away about better days? Absolutely not. Instead, Christians and churches must take steps to shore up our leadership gap. This requires us to lean upon the Spirit and the Word. There are also practical tips that can be applied to develop courageous Christian leaders for the days ahead. To speak to these important issues, Pastor Joel Wayne joins Andy on this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast. Joel shares helpful insights borne from his own experience leading churches and ministry efforts, both at home and abroad. Joel talks about the importance of partnership and strategic thinking, and also the simple willingness for leaders to pay a price if obedience to Christ so requires.

    96. In Days of Darkness: 5 Tips for Christians Preparing for Tougher Times

    Many Christians around the West are perplexed by the times they are living in. Things at work, at school, on their streets – they’re just not the same as what they grew up with. Spiritually things are downgraded. The same holds true for the culture in general, which is now hostile to the Christian faith and biblical morals. So much of this is new and alien. Many Christians have no clue how they should respond. What can they do themselves? And what can they say or do to help their kids? Frustration is growing, along with anxiety, fear and anger. How can Christians prepare to stand – and help the Church stand – in days of darkness? How can believers brace themselves for trials, and maybe even open persecution, in the days ahead. To help answer these questions, Andy Coleman shares five tips that ordinary Christians can use today to strengthen themselves spiritually for pressures tomorrow. These five tips borrow from his experiences working with persecuted Christians in some of the most difficult countries on earth. In those lands, the persecution climate is mature, but in many way similar to the milder but growing pressures in the West. These insights are drawn from a new book authored by Andy Coleman, which is scheduled to be published in May, 2025. In Days of Darkness: A Manual for Ordinary Christians Facing Unusual Times is a book focused on helping believers prepare themselves, their families and their churches for tougher times. You can pre-order copies of In Days of Darkness: A Manual for Ordinary Christians Facing Unusual Times at Barnes and Noble, Walmart, Target or wherever you find your favorite books. While the book will not officially launch until May 6, 2025, you can also order advance copies today. Andy will personally sign them for you, your friends or your loved ones. These can be found at https://indaysofdarkness.com/. If you found this episode helpful, please give us a positive rating and review wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

    Solzhenitsyn: A Russian Voice from the Past for Christians Today, with Ignat Solzhenitsyn (Encore)

    If you are a Christian and do not know the name Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, it is high time you change that. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was a Russian Christian, author and survivor of the Soviet Union’s labor camps. He shocked the world through his writings, which exposed the horrors of the Communist camps. His works eviscerated lies and encouraged people to confront evil themselves. Solzhenitsyn’s voice remains relevant for Christians today, as believers take stock of their cultural surroundings. Many of the societal ills called out by Solzhenitsyn have resurfaced in recent years around the world. An authoritarian impulse charges the air. Restrictions are ratcheting up on civil and religious liberties. How should Christians respond? It is precisely these types of questions that Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s writings can help answer. To help introduce all of this to a new generation of Christians, Ignat Solzhenitsyn – Aleksandr’s son – joins the Christian Emergency Podcast. Ignat unpacks his father’s story and reveals why his great works – like One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and The Gulag Archipelago – are worth reading even today. These insights have broad application for Christians preparing today for pressures tomorrow.  If this conversation was helpful for you, please share it with your friends.
