The Canadian Church and State Persecution | Dr. Michael Thiessen

Are Christian pastors really get thrown in jail, simply for holding church services? Did the Albertan government seriously barricade a church? If true, does this mean that Covid is raging to such extremes in the Great White North, that all of society is being shut down... or is the church being singled out for "special" treatment?

Dr. Michael Thiessen joins Joel to talk about the current state of relations between the church and the Canadian government. Thiessen is co-founder and Campaign Manager for Liberty Coalition Canada.

Highlights from this episode:

  • What is the Liberty Coalition Canada, and what are they trying to accomplish?

  • What is really going on in Canada right now?

  • Are churches facing persecution, or is this something else?

  • How many Christian pastors have been arrested in Canada, and why?

  • What can American Christians do to help our Canadian brethren?

The THINK PODCAST with Joel Settecase is the show that tackles impossible questions from a biblical perspective, to help you explain, share and defend the Christian message. This is a production of the THINK INSTITUTE, and we believe that no Christian should ever get caught flatfooted when asked what—or why—we believe.
