UK Pastor Targeted for Preaching Jesus in Public
Season 1
Episode 45
Published 2 months ago
Description
🇬🇧 Is Britain protecting the public… or suppressing the gospel?
In this episode of The Word at War, I sit down with Pastor Stephen Clayden of Bread of Life Community Church in Clacton, UK, to discuss the legal pressure his church is facing for public gospel preaching. This conversation moves beyond one pastor and one church. It exposes a deeper spiritual battle over speech, truth, repentance, sin, and whether biblical Christianity still has a place in the public square.
⚔️ Pastor Stephen shares his testimony, the rise of street evangelism in the UK, the legal challenge facing his church, the decline of lukewarm Christianity, the growth of Islam, digital ID concerns, AI, end-times signs, and why the church must recover boldness before it is too late.
This is a wake-up call for every believer watching the West drift further from God.
🙏 Watch, pray, share, and stand bold for the gospel.
