Christian Emergency Podcast

What happens to cultures and societies when they depart from Christian standards and norms? Intuitively, we know thatrejecting Christianity leads to troubles, for individuals, churches and even countries. But does the evidence back this intuition?
Joining the Christian Emergency Podcast to answer these questions and more is Dr. David Haskell. The Canadian sociologist serves as a tenured professor at Wilfrid Laurier University. As a biblical Christian, teaching on a public college campus in Canada has proven challenging. Over his years as an academic, he’s studied the sociological data and impact of cultures either embracing or abandoning Christian norms.
The conclusions were clear and compelling. Cultures that follow Christian norms enjoy greater productivity, societal trust, lower crime, and a host of other benefits. The results were so stark, that Professor Haskell abandoned liberal Christianity and embraced a biblical faith.
Dr. Haskell also addresses other important topics, including the impact of mass immigration, Bill C-9 (now known as the Combatting Hate Act since it was formally enacted into law), and the rash of church fires across Canada.

From 2016 to 2018, Andrew Brunson struggled inside Turkish prisons. For the previous 23 years, the American and his wife had served as missionaries with Turkey’s small Christian community. But when he was imprisoned on false charges – and then pondered the very real prospect that he would be separated from his family for the rest of his life – Andrew descended into spiritual crisis.
In today’s episode, Andrew provides a raw look into the emotional turmoil that gripped him behind bars. Doubts and despair haunted him. Silence and sadness assaulted his senses. But God was at work drawing prayer towards the nation of Turkey.  As much as he was broken down, Andrew eventually sensed he was being built back up. What was God up to?  
Learn what Andrew took away from his prison experience, after his surprise release following a criminal conviction. And discover what he senses is now coming for Christians throughout the west. A dark wave is inbound. Christians must prepare now.  Andrew longs to help you prepare to stand no matter how harsh your culture becomes. Listen to this episode to find out how, and include your family and friends who who need to prepare as well.

How can Christians live joyfully in a wild world? How can you make your home a safe harbor in disturbing times? Believers around the world might take a tip or two from Tom Bombadil, the enigmatic character of J.R.R. Tolkien’s famous trilogy, The Lord of the Rings.
Peter Jackson may not have included Tom in his movies, but Tolkien believed he played an important role. C.R. Wiley, pastor and author, agrees. He joined the Christian Emergency Podcast in this encore episode to share revealing insights gleaned from Tom Bombadil’s quirky but powerful example. He exposes nuggets of wisdom buried in this story of hobbits, fellowship, darkness and light.
