Digital Security, Christians and a growing Soft Totalitarianism (Encore)

Digital security is an important consideration for Christian missionaries working in closed and hostile countries. Their actions are closely monitored. Unwise decisions can lead to serious consequences for them, or as is more often the case, the indigenous Christians they minister to.

“Dan” joins this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast to shed light on this important topic. Trained in cyber security and with relevant experience under his belt, Dan helps train missionaries on digital security and how to properly use technology.

But Dan also grew up in Communist Romania. His dad endured persecution and illegally smuggled Bibles under the authoritarian regime. Dan is no stranger to the dark side of hard totalitarianism and surveillance states.

The insight offered by Dan is not only helpful to Christians in difficult countries today, but to all Christians. Across western nations, there are warnings of a growing “soft totalitarianism.” This emerging pressure is driven not just by governments, but corporate elites who frown upon biblical values.
