In this eye-opening episode of The Jesus People Podcast Episode 81, Ryan Miller sits down with missionary Alex Barbir, founder of Building Zion, to uncover the devastating reality facing Christians in Nigeria.

Alex shares firsthand accounts from villages devastated by terrorist attacks, exposes the persecution of believers, explains why he has become the target of an international smear campaign, and challenges the Western church to respond with courage, compassion, and the Gospel.

More than a conversation about persecution, this episode is a call to live with fearless faith, to love enemies as Christ commanded, and to ask what role God is calling each of us to play in advancing His Kingdom.

Key Highlights: • Why Christians are being targeted in Nigeria • Alex Barbir's firsthand experience rebuilding churches and villages • The alleged cover-up of Christian persecution • Why the Gospel, not politics, is the ultimate answer • Living courageously despite fear • What the Western church can do today • Missions, sacrifice, and counting the cost of following Jesus • The power of forgiveness in the face of persecution • Why Nigeria matters to the future of Christianity in Africa • Answering God's call with boldness and obedience If this conversation stirs your heart, prayerfully consider how God may be calling you to respond through prayer, generosity, advocacy, or missions.
