Sheep Among Wolves | Nik Ripken's Speech at Liberty University's Convocation

In this episode of Witness & Persecution, we share Nik Ripken’s impactful speech, Sheep Among Wolves, delivered at Liberty University’s Convocation in 2014. Nik reflects on his experiences in Somalia, offering profound lessons on sharing the Gospel in the face of persecution and challenging listeners to love their enemies and boldly carry the Good News across the world.

This is the newest episode of Witness & Persecution with Nik and Ruth Ripken. This is a previously recorded speech from Liberty University's Convocation Ceremony titled, "Sheep Among Wolves". We thought it was a powerful message for anyone graduating, entering a new season of life, or needing some encouragement as we continue to walk this life as Jesus' followers, carrying the Good News across the streets and across the oceans. Listen in as Nik challenges students on what it truly means to share the Gospel in the hardest places on the planet.
