What happens when faith is tested by the horrors of war? In our heartfelt conversation with Pastor Mykola Savchuk, the leader of one of Kyiv's largest congregations, we explore the profound challenges and triumphs of ministry amidst the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Pastor Mykola gives a raw and honest account of his initial reactions to the outbreak of war, the struggle of preaching to a vastly reduced congregation, and the spiritual messages that sustained his community during such turbulent times. We also delve into the complex dynamics between the Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox Churches, especially the controversial stance of the Russian Orthodox Church in supporting the invasion, and how this has affected both church and community relations.
As the episode unfolds, we highlight the church's pivotal role as a bastion of hope and support, providing essential necessities like food, medical supplies, and shelter while offering spiritual encouragement. Pastor Mykola reflects on the resilience of the Ukrainian people, the emotional and spiritual battles of hatred and forgiveness, and how scripture provided solace during the darkest periods. He shares touching stories of comforting those who have lost loved ones and grapples with the existential question of God's presence in suffering. Join us for an inspiring episode that underscores the power of faith, compassion, and global solidarity in the face of adversity.
