In April 2021, a video out of Canada emerged showing a pastor defiantly ejecting police from his church. The video went viral. Pastor Artur Pawlowski was not going to let local authorities intimidate and harass his congregants, especially during Holy Week worship services. The wolves had moved in on a flock guarded by a shepherd, and the shepherd growled back.
Pastor Pawlowski knows a thing or two about pressure from government. He grew up in Communist Poland during the Soviet occupation. His family had suffered first under the authoritarian thumbs of Nazis, and later the Communists. In this episode, Pastor Pawlowski describes disturbing parallels between what he is seeing in Canada, and what he saw ravage his home country.
But Pastor Pawlowski’s perspective, though direct, offers much encouragement. He shares how pastors can develop one voice for their flock and another for the wolves. Listen in - and share with others - as he outlines how all Christians can boldly stand, even when pressures rise.
