"The Reality of Conflict: What Every Christian Warrior Must Understand"

Saturday, April 11, 2026

If you choose to stand firm in your faith, you will come into conflict. Not because you are looking for it, but because living according to the Truth will put you at odds with a world that rejects it.

So, what do you do when that happens? Do you step into it, or do you step back?

For decades, Christians were the clear majority in this country. Today, that number has dropped significantly and it raises an honest question—how did that happen? Did something take that ground, or did we slowly give it by choosing not to act when it mattered?

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," the focus turns to something most people would rather avoid—conflict. Because when you live out your faith according to the Truth, you will find yourself facing opposition, tension, and moments where you have to decide whether you will stand firm or stay silent.

This show begins a two-part series on understanding the context of that conflict—why it’s happening and what it requires of you.

You don’t have to go looking for conflict. But if you are serious about living out your faith, you won’t be able to avoid it. The question is whether you are prepared to handle it in a way that reflects Christ—with clarity, conviction, and wisdom.

Tune in to gain a clear understanding of why conflict is part of your walk and how to approach it in a way that honors God.
