In this new episode of The Christian Citizen Podcast, we delve into the pressing issue of violence and persecution faced by churches across suburban, urban, and rural settings. Recent incidents, including the tragic shooting at Lakewood Church, underscore the urgency of this topic. According to the Family Research Council, attacks against churches doubled in 2023, with 436 hostile incidents recorded.

Our podcast explores the root causes of this hostility. Is it a consequence of cultural decay, legitimate persecution, or perhaps a combination of both?

We raise critical questions about the role and impact of the church within society. How can churches effectively respond to these challenges?

Emphasizing the need for preparedness, we discuss practical measures for church security. Training programs are available to help congregations develop safety plans and protect their members. It’s crucial to be proactive in safeguarding our places of worship.

As we conclude, we urge churches to be agents of positive change. Let us bring light and salt back into our culture, addressing the foundational values under attack. Join us in this important conversation as we seek to strengthen and protect our faith communities. If you like our content, don't forget to LIKE & SUBSCRIBE. Follow us for more!
