54. Christian Lessons from Turkish Prisons, with Andrew Brunson

Christian Emergency Podcast

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.
