How to be a Christian When Persecuted

Earlier this month, Jackie found herself at the center of a Threads post that generated a whole lot of conversation. It got her and Preston thinking about the opposition we face as Christians because of a worldview that is confusing to unbelievers. NOTE: For most of us, the persecution we face is social in nature – that’s different from persecution others face around the world when they risk their lives professing Christ. As Christians, we’re not supposed to defend ourselves. We’re supposed to preach the gospel and leverage opposition as an opportunity to point others to Jesus. Jackie and Preston discuss a helpful framework for approaching unbelievers, why it’s important to lead with compassion, and the reason why both prayer and patience are required for those conversations. Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 4:4-6 1 Peter 3:15-16 Nehemiah 4:17–18 This Episode is Sponsored By: https://shopify.com/perry — Sign up for your $1 per-month trial today! - Learn more about your ad choices.
