On today's episode, Pastor Lyle and Noah sit down with Nik Ripken, who is a missionary and the author of the widely popular and impactful book, The Insanity of God.

Nik and Ruth (his wife), with 3 children, served for over 32 years obeying Christ’s command to share Jesus across the globe. After 7 years in Malawi & South Africa, they moved to Nairobi, Kenya to begin work among the Somali people (1991-1997). Since that time (1998-2013) they have journeyed globally among people whom, when they gave their lives to Jesus, faced increasing persecution for their faith.

Currently the Ripkens have interviewed over 600 believers in persecution, exceeding 72 countries.  Sitting at their feet, the Ripkens learned from the suffering church how to thrive amidst suffering, not merely survive. The Ripkens, using everything they’ve learned from believers in persecution are creating resources as gifts from the church to the church.

You will be blessed to learn from Nik during this interview, and will walk away with a greater heart for the nations, and the brothers and sisters on the ground who are working to make the name of Jesus known among them.
