Faithful in the Fire: Preparing for Days of Darkness | Andy Coleman | Episode 362

The Speakeasy

President of Christian Emergency Alliance Andy Coleman joins Blake to discuss what it means to live as ordinary Christians in unusual times. Andy shares global stories of persecution and spiritual resilience, offering insight into how believers—whether new to the faith or seasoned—can stay grounded amid cultural pressure and spiritual opposition. They explore the hesitation many Christians feel in naming their experiences as persecution, while highlighting modern realities such as online censorship, conscience violations, and pandemic-era restrictions on churches. Drawing on lessons from persecuted believers around the world and biblical history, Andy emphasizes the need for spiritual readiness, discipleship, and hope—even in dark seasons. The episode is a call to courage, clarity, and preparation for families, churches, and individuals seeking to walk faithfully in a shifting world.
