Suffering is something we run from. And when we have to go through it, we want out as fast as possible. But maybe we’re missing something? Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrssays we are. We’re missing the power of God made perfect in weakness, and a deep revelation of Jesus’ love that only comes in deep suffering. Todd joins the team to show us the power and beauty of suffering through the eyes of our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world.

First, Todd needs to keep resetting his identity in Jesus’ love, not his performance. Next, Iman who wanted to be the best soldier, thief, addict. And then he crashed into Jesus. Then, the night Iman was saved by Jesus, Jesus was literally in his room. Next, Todd, Perry, and Shawna imagine what characters they think they’d be in the crowd at Jesus’ crucifixion.

Then, sister Tong spent 6 months in the Chinese prison for her faith. Jesus gifted her with a deep sense of his presence and the honor of leading cell mates to Jesus. Next, Perry asks Todd, “Imagine yourself right in front of the cross, looking up at Jesus. What’s going through your mind?” Finally, Hasan in prison for his faith was on his cell floor many nights weeping because the presence of Jesus was so palpable!
