Today on the show, we are going to step back into the early centuries of the church to explore the lives of two extraordinary men: a man named Aba I, and another man named Timothy of Baghdad. Aba took a bold stand against false teachings, enduring imprisonment and assassination attempts. His conviction could not be broken.A century later, Timothy of Baghdad emerged as a brilliant theologian and philosopher. Timothy carried the gospel to some of the most challenging places in the world. Their stories remind us how God has advanced his church through unlikely people in difficult times and difficult circumstances, leaving a legacy that still shapes our faith today. To tell the story of these unknown missionaries, we're joined by Pastor and missiology professor James Fyffe.Visit https://www.lfbi.org/learnmore
