Ep. 84 | Christian Faith Under Fire: Nigeria’s Persecution Crisis

What does Christian persecution really look like on the ground in Nigeria, and how should leaders respond with faith and courage? In this sobering, but hope-filled episode, Shannon sits down with Jerry Anze to help us move beyond the headlines and statistics into the lived reality of believers facing violence, kidnappings, and ongoing insecurity throughout the nation of Nigeria. Jerry even shares his own personal context and stories that reveal the human impact, the resilience of the Church, and why awareness matters globally. You’ll also hear practical ways to engage: how to pray with focus, advocate wisely, and lead with conviction when the pressure is intense. This conversation is a call to compassion, clarity, and courageous action, reminding us that prayer isn’t passive; it’s frontline leadership. Prepare your hearts and be ready to gain insight, perspective, and next steps for standing with the persecuted Church in Nigeria.Support the showJoin a community of leaders who are ready to change history and make an impact in this world.
