During slavery, Black Christians risked everything to gather in secret churches—hush harbors in the woods, hidden cabins, and night meetings where the Gospel could be proclaimed. In this episode, we explore the history of these illegal Black churches, the spiritual courage of those who worshipped under threat, and the forces—both earthly and spiritual—that sought to silence them. Discover how faith persevered even when slavery and false churches tried to suppress it, and what it teaches us about standing firm in Christ today.
