from Orthodoxy · host Schmitt Media Company LLC

In this episode I talked with Frannie Block. Frannie is a reporter at The Free Press and has recently reported on Chinese persecution of Christian pastors in her piece, China vs. God: Ezra Jin and Beijing’s War on Christianity. We talked about this report, why China has a history of religious suppression, how China has emerged as a global superpower, and what President Donald Trump has done to end persecution around the world (we also discussed other things).
