In this powerful podcast episode, journalist and analytical strategist Mike Burnard sheds light on the often-overlooked struggles of the persecuted church worldwide.

Mike challenges listeners to move beyond apathy and spiritual leprosy, urging Christians to pray effectively (not just for persecution to end, but for strength and boldness) and take actionable steps to support suffering believers
