Who are the Uyghurs and what is their plight inside China? Christian Post reporter Ryan Foley joins "The Christian Post Podcast" to break down the Uyghurs' history, the horrors unfolding inside concentration camps, and the reason so many international parties are accusing the Chinese Communist Party of committing genocide. 

"An estimated one to three million Uyghurs have been detained in concentration camps since 2016," Foley explained. "While critics refer to them as reeducation camps ... the Chinese government contends that the camps are necessary to root out extremism."

He continued, "Women in the camps are subject to rape, torture, and forced labor."

"The Gospel really is all we need." That's the lesson Leah MarieAnn Klett took away from her recent coverage of a Nigerian ministry that shares biblical truth with unreached people groups.

"It's extremely dangerous to be a Christian in these areas," Klett said. "And it's very dangerous to go into these areas and reach people with the Gospel."

She specifically shared a harrowing story from Oscar Amaechina, president of Afri-Mission and Evangelism Network in Abuja, Nigeria, who revealed that he and other missionaries were almost murdered by a group — but that an act of simple love and compassion changed everything and had an eternal impact. Klett said, "This group of people who set out to kill him converted to Christianity because of their kindness."

Christian Post reporter Leonardo Blair takes you inside the practically unbelievable story surrounding Christian missionaries' daring escape from captivity in Haiti. At first, the world assumed the missionaries were released by the gang that detained them, but as details emerged, it became clear that something far more fascinating unfolded. Listen to Blair break down the details of this important story.

"It's like the stars suddenly aligned," Blair said. "Many see it as a miracle."

Christian Post reporter Leah Klett joins the podcast to break down why some worship leaders are sounding the alarm on contemporary worship music, warning that it's too soft, lacks theological content and fails to help people think deeper on their faith.

"Some of the concern is that the songs that are being put out right now, they don't give us the tools that we need to handle some of life's challenges," Klett explained.
