Yale Divinity SchoolUkrainian Pastor Speaks Out: Resist Evil, Be Present, and Remember How Little You Control
"We just have to be a people of dignity and with a dignity we should face the trial that have happened in our lifetime. We just have to be these kind of people that will not turn [into] something else rather than human, but rather will become a better human."

Ukrainian Pastor Speaks Out
Ukrainian pastor and theologian Fyodor Raychynets returns to the podcast to update Miroslav Volf on life during wartime, in a war zone—which includes not only the pain of war, but the loss of losing his wife prior to the war, and his adult son just months ago. His faith persists in the face of all the cold reminders of how little control any of us exert on world events such as this. He now turns to the minor prophets—Nahum and Habakkuk in particular—to hope for justice, to complain and express his anger toward God, even with God. And he continues to minister to soldiers and civilians, holding the questions with presence and patience, while preaching a message of hope in the good and resistance to evil.
