Charlie Kirk invited Rev. Jim Harden onto his show to talk about the firebombing of one of the Christian pro-life medical offices he runs in New York. In one of those interviews, Charlie told Rev. Harden, “We have your back 100%.” When Charlie was assassinated, Rev. Harden was the first one in America to say that Charlie’s assassination was not an act of political violence but an act of Christian persecution. Why? Because Rev. Harden is experiencing it firsthand.

Rev. Harden built the largest Christian pro-life medical network in New York, the most hostile, extreme pro-abortion state in America. CompassCare has been a target of pro-abortion extremists at every level of society. Rev.

Harden is fighting everything from weaponized legislation from New York State and New York City, lawfare by the New York Attorney General, doxxing by abortion activists, death threats, a cyber terror attack, debanking, firebombing by pro-abortion Antifa injuring two firefighters, politicized federal law enforcement, censorship, and viewpoint discrimination by Big Tech.

The Gospel is a calling to die to oneself for the life of the world.

If our faith in the Gospel does not cause us to be “careful to engage in good deeds” (Titus 3:8), to correct the systemic wrongs of society, like abortion, then our faith is dead.

The Apostle Paul told Timothy that “Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12). Persecution is quickly emerging in America and has hit the pro-life community hard. Jesus warns that in the last days persecution will come upon all Christians (Matthew 24). Rev. Jim Harden’s firsthand experience of persecution and his Biblical reflections on how to handle it in America are essential preparation for any serious Christian.
