CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE: Mike Burnard - Understanding Global Christian Persecution

In this powerful podcast episode, journalist and analytical strategist Mike Burnard sheds light on the often-overlooked struggles of the persecuted church worldwide. With 45 years of experience serving persecuted Christians, Mike discusses how believers often focus more on the persecutors than the persecuted—whether in North Korea, Afghanistan, or even the West Bank, where the last remaining Christian town, Taybeh, recently faced violent attacks.

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
