  • Riad Kassis | Participating in the Global Church
    Nov 15 2024
    Our context — whether political, cultural or social — often determines the lens by which we read Scripture, for better or for worse. Engaging with the global church expands our context and encourages us to ask fresh questions of the gospel and of Scripture. Riad Kassis joins Today’s Conversation from Beirut, Lebanon, bringing deep convictions of fidelity to Scripture and its application to lived experience.

    Riad Kassis, international director of Langham Partnership, shares how living in the Middle East has shaped his faith and reflects on his experience at the most recent Lausanne Gathering in Seoul, South Korea.

    You’ll also hear NAE President Walter Kim and Riad discuss:

    • Why theological resources for and by Majority World pastors is vital for the Church;
    • What biblical truths about persecution can reshape our minds and hearts;
    • Why justice is a matter of great importance to Christians in conflict areas; and
    • How we can stand with our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world.
