Middle East Conflict, Church Abuse, and Catastrophising // In the News

How do we keep praying for the Middle East? What lessons are there from recent church abuse scandals? Why should we try to stay optimistic?

In this episode of In:Dependence, Phil Topham (FIEC Executive Director), John Stevens (FIEC National Director), and Adrian Reynolds (FIEC Head of National Ministries) discuss the stories in the news over the past weeks.
