In the midst of all the chaos and uncertainty of life, people are hungry for something reliably true and truly hopeful.

We believe the thing they're looking for is the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The gospel coalition exists to define, defend, and declare this gospel.

And we do all of this by producing multimedia resources designed to root people in solid truth in our shaky world.

And it's supporters like you who make it all possible.

Welcome to the gospel coalition podcast, equipping the next generation of believers, pastors, and church leaders to shape life and ministry around the gospel.

On today's episode, you'll hear a panel discussion from TGC's 2021 National Conference on what we can learn about suffering from the Chinese church.

My name is Hannah Nation, and I'm going to let my colleagues introduce themselves.

My name is Asi Wang. I work with the Hannah.

My name is Ryan Zhang. I'm a pastor at New City Presbyterian Church in Cincinnati. I also work with Hannah.
