Clearview Today with Dr. Abidan Shah

Early Christians weren’t hated simply for being different or for spreading kindness—they were persecuted because of the exclusive claim of the gospel. By refusing to acknowledge Caesar as lord, they disrupted the delicate balance between the Jewish leaders and the Roman authorities. The gospel’s exclusivity was seen as a threat to the entire social order. In today’s episode, we’ll uncover the real...

Before Paul became the great apostle to the Gentiles, he was a young man standing in approval as Stephen—the first Christian martyr—was stoned. In today’s episode, we’ll explore how Stephen’s bold witness and sacrificial death left a lasting mark on Paul, shaping his understanding of grace, suffering, and the mission of the church. Without Stephen’s testimony, there would be no Paul as we know him...
