In today’s conversation, author Ellen Vaughn shares stories from the global church that reveal the extraordinary power of ordinary Christians living faithfully in difficult places. Drawing from firsthand interviews with believers in countries such as Rwanda, India, Egypt, Ukraine, and across the Middle East, Vaughn explores themes of forgiveness, suffering, reconciliation, courage, and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit through local congregations around the world. From pastors whose churches were burned by extremists to survivors of genocide who chose radical forgiveness, these remarkable accounts challenge Western Christians to move beyond comfort, rediscover the beauty and purpose of the local church, and embrace the world-changing mission that Jesus Christ began and continues today.
