What happens to cultures and societies when they depart from Christian standards and norms? Intuitively, we know thatrejecting Christianity leads to troubles, for individuals, churches and even countries. But does the evidence back this intuition?

Joining the Christian Emergency Podcast to answer these questions and more is Dr. David Haskell. The Canadian sociologist serves as a tenured professor at Wilfrid Laurier University. As a biblical Christian, teaching on a public college campus in Canada has proven challenging. Over his years as an academic, he’s studied the sociological data and impact of cultures either embracing or abandoning Christian norms.

The conclusions were clear and compelling. Cultures that follow Christian norms enjoy greater productivity, societal trust, lower crime, and a host of other benefits. The results were so stark, that Professor Haskell abandoned liberal Christianity and embraced a biblical faith.

Dr. Haskell also addresses other important topics, including the impact of mass immigration, Bill C-9 (now known as the Combatting Hate Act since it was formally enacted into law), and the rash of church fires across Canada.

From 2016 to 2018, Andrew Brunson struggled inside Turkish prisons. For the previous 23 years, the American and his wife had served as missionaries with Turkey’s small Christian community. But when he was imprisoned on false charges – and then pondered the very real prospect that he would be separated from his family for the rest of his life – Andrew descended into spiritual crisis.

In today’s episode, Andrew provides a raw look into the emotional turmoil that gripped him behind bars. Doubts and despair haunted him. Silence and sadness assaulted his senses. But God was at work drawing prayer towards the nation of Turkey.  As much as he was broken down, Andrew eventually sensed he was being built back up. What was God up to?  

Learn what Andrew took away from his prison experience, after his surprise release following a criminal conviction. And discover what he senses is now coming for Christians throughout the west. A dark wave is inbound. Christians must prepare now.  Andrew longs to help you prepare to stand no matter how harsh your culture becomes. Listen to this episode to find out how, and include your family and friends who who need to prepare as well.

How can Christians live joyfully in a wild world? How can you make your home a safe harbor in disturbing times? Believers around the world might take a tip or two from Tom Bombadil, the enigmatic character of J.R.R. Tolkien’s famous trilogy, The Lord of the Rings.

He joined the Christian Emergency Podcast in this encore episode to share revealing insights gleaned from Tom Bombadil’s quirky but powerful example. He exposes nuggets of wisdom buried in this story of hobbits, fellowship, darkness and light.

God is moving in these days. One way He is advancing His gospel is through international Christian missions. If you’vespent any time looking into Christian missions, you’ve likely heard about movements – like Church Planting Movements (CPM) or Disciple Making Movements (DMM).

As exciting as it is to hear of movements of people to Christ, the methodology has been questioned by some in the missions community. What are these movements and why is there controversy? Are movements novel strategies grounded in pragmatism? Or is there a biblical foundation that seeks to foster church networks to remain on the move while discipling new believers?

Joining the Christian Emergency Podcast to answer these questions and more is Wes Watkins, a missionary, seminaryprofessor, writer and missiologist. Wes has served on the missions field under challenging circumstances, and he’s drunk deeply from the intellectual well of missions theology and practice for decades. He offers a theological defense of the movements model. He does so recognizing that it is not perfect, and that other missions strategies and church models are also helpful for the Kingdom.

Christians in much of the world today face pressures. Few, however, face anything as intense as those Christians who lived under the first few decades of authoritarian rule in either the Soviet Union or Communist China. At least not yet.

While freedom and opportunity still remains, Christians today would be wise to consider the experiences of Christians under the Soviets and Chinese Communists. Though both situations shared many similarities, they developed in starkly different manners. Why did they differ so much? What lessons can we glean and apply in our own situations? And what cautionary flags can we recognize and avoid?

On this encore episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast, Andy examines a helpful case study of the Christian experience under the Soviets and Chinese. This comparison, produced originally by Nik Ripken in his book The Insanity of Obedience, provides many helpful insights for Christians today.

Christians in America—even fairly young Christians—can look back over their lives and recognize something has changed. They remember former days when the culture regarded Christians in a favorable light. You were in good standing if you were perceived as a Christian. But then there was a period when it wasn’t necessarily good to be a Christian, but it wasn’t a scarlet letter either. But today, Christians in America perceive a chill in the air—the culture today is actually hostile to Christian faith and principles. What happened?

In this encore episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast, cultural commentator Aaron Renn charts out how the American culture shifted under our feet. This episode will help you better understand these changes, and also how all Christians around the globe today find themselves in a Negative World. The pressure we face may differ in degree of severity, but we are all frowned upon by broader culture when we cling to Christ.

Christianity has exploded inside Iran over recent decades. But that growth has been met by a severe response from the Islamic regime. What is it like to be a Christian in Iran? How does the Gospel of Jesus Christ continue to be proclaimed when the persecution climate is so intense?

Mansour Borji, of Article 18, joins Andy on this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast to answer these questions and more. Mansour grew up in Iran as an unbeliever, but after hearing the Gospel he gave his life to Christ. As a young Christian under a hostile government, Mansour saw the fallout of persecution decades ago. Since that time, he has sought to train up and champion Christians inside Iran.
