What is Persecution?

This week, Jeremy and Alex discuss the nature and reality of persecution against Christians. Jesus promised his people that they, like him, would be persecuted. 

Oddly, many North American Christians are eager to deny the reality of persecution against the church. This is likely owing to a naive, romantic and privileged perspective on persecution. 

We discuss several false assumptions people have about persecutions, and what Scripture actually teaches. 

We need to acknowledge the reality of persecution so that we can be faithful through it.
