In this powerful conversation, Pastor Ed Young sits down with Andrew and Noleen Sedra—pastors from Sydney, Australia—for an unflinching discussion the modern church desperately needs to hear. Andrew, a former religious refugee from Egypt, brings a frontline perspective on Islam, the West, and the spiritual battle facing the next generation.

Together, he and Noleen pull no punches as they unpack why so many pastors have gone silent on the issues shaping our culture—and what it's costing the Church.

In this episode:

• Why "I just preach the gospel" is often spiritual cowardice in disguise
• The three things every Christian must understand about Islam: the Word, the World, and the Worldview
• How Marxism, liberation theology, and critical theory infiltrated the Western church
• Why feminism, LGBTQ ideology, and Islam share the same philosophical root
• The difference between biblical justice and "social justice"
• Why Sydney is a preview of what's coming to America—and why Texas is the next battleground
• Andrew's miraculous testimony of God supernaturally stopping Muslim Brotherhood terrorists from kidnapping him as a child

This is a wake-up call for pastors, leaders, and believers who sense something is wrong but can't quite name it. Andrew and Noleen name it—and then point us back to the Word of God, the courage of the early church, and the hope of revival and Reformation in our generation.

"Your job is to preach. God's job is to protect. Your job is to speak. God's job is to save."
