What happens when faith meets hostility? Join me as we journey through powerful narratives of Christian believers who, despite living in societies often hostile to their faith, face persecution with a courage and joy that can only come from the Kingdom of God. This episode of Devotions with Dr. Papa is more than just an exploration; it's a testament to the strength and courage of those who choose faith in the face of adversity. 

Ever wondered how love can triumph over persecution? We share the inspiring story of a Baptist pastor in Romania who, even when forced to share his home with a high-ranking communist official, responded with love and prayer, leading to the official's conversion. We also recall Richard Wurmbrand's compelling example of faith and resilience despite torture, resulting in many prisoners turning to Christ. How do Christian values hold up under such persecution? We ponder the experiences of a couple who, in the midst of hardship, continued to live out their faith, setting an example of how Kingdom values truly differ from those of this world.

Lastly, let's tackle the elephant in the room - the world's rejection of God and His teachings, the hostility Christians face for their faith. But don't worry, we wrap things up with a dose of hope. We emphasize the importance of rejoicing in the face of persecution, because, ultimately, the Kingdom of Heaven awaits us. So come along, share this podcast, and prepare to be inspired.
