What does faith look like when the world around you seems to be falling apart?
In this episode of Faith Beyond the Walls, D'Vante talks with Kathy Giske about finding hope and purpose in the midst of war, displacement, grief, and uncertainty.
Drawing from years of ministry with Iranian Christians and refugees across Europe and the Middle East, Kathy shares stories of people practicing their faith under extraordinary circumstances and what their experiences can teach Christians living with far greater freedom. She also reflects on losing her husband and how her own experience with grief eventually opened a new chapter of serving people experiencing trauma and displacement.
Their conversation explores the global church, the experience of refugees, the role of prayer, and practical ways Christians can care for people beyond the walls of the church.
