In this episode of *Against the Grain*, Nathaniel Buzolic (aka Nate Buzz) is joined by Andrew Sedra, the lead pastor of Echo Church in Sydney, Australia, and a fearless advocate for bold, unfiltered Christianity in an increasingly hostile world.   Andrew shares his incredible journey from growing up in Egypt as a persecuted Christian to becoming a refugee in Australia. He narrates chilling moments of God’s miraculous protection, including a life-threatening plot against his family that resulted in one of his persecutors converting to Christianity.   Nate and Andrew dive into pressing topics, including the Western church’s struggles with political correctness, the importance of standing firm in biblical truth, and how Christians can navigate a culture increasingly hostile to their beliefs. They also explore the prophetic significance of Israel. Andrew doesn’t hold back as he calls on Christians to resist fear, speak boldly, and reclaim their God-given purpose in a world desperate for truth.   Learn more about your ad choices.
