Well, how should Christians respond to the coronavirus pandemic?

Welcome to the Roy's Report, a podcast dedicated to reporting the truth and restoring the church.

I'm Julie Roy's.

And today I'm coming to you from my home in the Chicago suburbs.

Like many of you, I'm sheltering in place.

So instead of recording at our studios at Salem Radio, we're recording this podcast through Zoom, and I believe the sound

quality is still good, but perhaps not as good as it is normally. But like everyone else,

I'm learning to make do. And I'm just so grateful that we live in a time where we can work

from home and do classes online and churches online and podcasts online. So praise God for that.

I'm also grateful to have with me today,

Dr. Lena Abu Jhama. Lena runs her own ministry called Living with Power, but she's also a

pediatric ER doctor and has been on the front lines dealing with a coronavirus crisis. So I'm super

grateful that she's taken time out of her extremely busy schedule to join us, and I know

she's going to have just some really important insights on how we as Christians should be responding

to this crisis.

But before we dive into today's podcast, I want to just take a moment to thank our sponsors.

Again, a main sponsor of this podcast is Judson University. And they've been fantastic friends and supporters of my work.

And I would just ask that you pray for Judson and other Christian colleges and universities

just struggling to deal with the coronavirus crisis.

Our other supporters are the Illinois Family Institute and Mark Hort Buick.

If you want to stay current on policies impacting faith in

families, I encourage you. Check out IFI's weekly podcast. Just go to IFIaction.org slash podcast.
