Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world, and in 2025, persecution has reached devastating new levels. Around the globe, believers face imprisonment, torture, and death for the simple act of following Jesus. Yet these stories are often buried, ignored, or misrepresented by mainstream media. This episode of Robbi On The Record shines a light on the global war against Christianity — exposing the facts, testimonies, and tragedies that the world refuses to confront. In China, the Communist Party has turned churches into surveillance zones. Worship services are monitored by cameras, children are banned from entering sanctuaries, and Bibles are confiscated. Faith leaders like Pastor Wang Yi have been arrested and sentenced to prison for nothing more than boldly preaching the Gospel. His story is one of faithful disobedience — a reminder that true faith stands tall, even when the price is freedom itself. Beyond Wang Yi, countless underground church leaders remain imprisoned, while Bible studies are raided and Christian families live in fear of the state. Meanwhile, in Nigeria, the violence is relentless and bloody. Thousands of Christians have been slaughtered this year alone, in coordinated massacres that rarely make global headlines. Villages like Yelwata have been wiped out in a single night, with believers hunted for their faith. This isn’t random violence — it’s targeted persecution. Yet governments remain silent, and the media frames these atrocities as “clashes” rather than acknowledging the truth: Christians are being killed for their belief in Jesus Christ. This silence from world leaders is deafening. The U.S. government and other Western powers have largely turned away, unwilling to confront the uncomfortable truth of Christian persecution on a massive scale. By ignoring these tragedies, they embolden the oppressors and leave the persecuted church without global support. But as believers, we cannot be silent. Scripture calls us to remember those in chains as if we were bound with them. We can pray, we can act, and we can share these stories to ensure that the persecuted church is not forgotten. From China’s underground house churches to Nigeria’s devastated villages, this episode calls us to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our brothers and sisters in Christ who are paying the ultimate price for their faith. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – Cold Open: Imagine living in fear for your faith
