Believers today need to rediscover their Christian history, as well as lessons learned from their persecuted spiritual family. Such context provides critical help for Christians to process the pressures building day by day. And today’s episode provides help in both ways.
“Johannes” grew up under Communism as a Christian in East Germany. As a kid, he faced ostracism and limited opportunities. These pressures followed him into adulthood. He refused to compromise his conscience or “go along to get along.” Instead he stood for what he believed in. But these actions came at a price. And it was not him alone who had to paid it. It also affected his wife and his kids.
What was life like in East Germany before the Iron Curtain fell? What helped Johannes through the challenges of living faithfully under an anti-Christian, authoritarian regime? And how do you go to a church infiltrated with spies reporting on believers? Listen in and find out on today’s episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast. Gruβ Gott!
