God’s Perspective in Persecution: Equipping the Church to Endure

In this episode, Ron Pearce shares a timely and challenging message drawn from his conversations with national church leaders in Vietnam, India, China, and Ethiopia. When asked how they prepare believers for persecution, these leaders responded with a unified theme: teach God’s perspective.

Ron unpacks how believers around the world are learning to step back, see their suffering in light of eternity, and stand firm through hardship. You’ll hear a gripping story from India, where new Christians were driven from their village and forced to live on the edge of the jungle—infested with biting flies—yet still refused to renounce Jesus. Why? Because they were equipped with the Truth of Scripture and a clear understanding of what truly matters.

This episode challenges us in North America to shift from shallow responses to suffering toward a deeper, biblical foundation that prepares us for what’s coming. It’s not about escaping hardship—it’s about seeing it from heaven’s view.
