The High Cost of Following Jesus Around the World: Todd Nettleton on Christian Persecution
Voice of the Martyrs Vice President Todd Nettleton discusses the growing reality of Christian persecution around the world and why so many believers continue to stand firm in their faith despite tremendous opposition. He shares with Crosswalk Talk’s Michael Foust the inspiring story of Perpetua, a young Christian martyr whose courage still challenges believers nearly 2,000 years later. Nettleton also explains what's really happening to Christians in countries such as China, Nigeria and Tunisia, where many face pressure from governments, communities and even their own families. Finally, he reflects on how the faith of persecuted Christians has strengthened his own walk with Christ and why their witness continues to inspire the global church.
