There are great changes taking place in our time, but I think we can also rejoice that God is purifying his church.

And I think as we come out of this, we as Christ people, I think will find it a new world in which we can bear testimony to Christ and to his truth.

May not always be easy. We may see persecution just as we see many brothers and sisters around the world being persecuted in our time.

Jesus declared that he will build his church and the gates of hell shall not prevail

against it and as we heard W Robert Godfrey just say yes the Lord may be purifying

his church but we also see the Church being strengthened and growing,

sometimes in unexpected places.

And that's some of what you'll hear today.

Thanks for joining us for this special edition of

renewing your mind as we share with you a live event that we hosted last month

with thousands of Ligonier's ministry partners. You can learn more about this partnership program that fuels

the outreach of Ligonier Ministries, including renewinger Mind at renewinger Mind.org

slash Partner. From prisons to college campuses, Minnesota to Mozambique,

the Lord is using your support of renewing your mind and ligand your

ministries to strengthen God's people and really to bring the truth of Christ

to the nations. So I hope you'll be encouraged as you hear more about that, reflections

on the times in which we live and as we pray for the global church.

Here's that conversation now.

Firstly, I'd like to introduce our president and CEO, Chris Larson.

Chris, thank you for being with us tonight.

Always enjoy being with our dear ministry partners and providing this special update.

The Lord is at work and we have a lot to share, certainly more than we can even probably cover in the time that's been allotted to us.
