Since our previous series revolved around the experience of Harold Ledda in Saudi Arabia when he started an underground church, we decided to do a little bit more on religious freedom. We talk about the definition of religious freedom and what that looks like in the US and in other countries like Arab nations, in Asia, etc.

We go into detail on what religious freedom in our day to day lives look like. Not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to exercise their religious beliefs, especially if they live in countries where Christianity might not be allowed. We also talk about the growth of Christianity, specifically in countries where it is not allowed.

Tune in the whole episode to hear our discussion on persecution and what persecution has done to the growth of Christianity. We end the episode with discussing what is the point of talking about religious freedom.

We have made it to 100 episodes! It is only fitting to end our series about our dad, Harold Ledda, the missionary to Saudi Arabia in the 80s, on our 100th episode. In this episode, we discuss in detail his release and deportation. We touched on it in the previous episode but we wrap up all those details in this episode.

He talks about 2 key members in the church that he talked about in the previous episodes, the assistant pastor and the member who imported Bibles. He talked about what happened to them and just their overall experience also. We discuss some final thoughts on this life-changing experience such as what the church looks like today, the unexplainable peace he felt, and what he learned in prison.

Tune in the whole episode to hear his message to the viewers and listeners. We talk about what’s the point in talking about his experience in detail and what we can all learn from it.

We continue with part 3 of our series talking about Harold Ledda’s experience in Saudi Arabia when he started an underground church. In this episode, we dive deep into the details of his arrest and imprisonment. We touched on his arrest in the previous episode but we discuss it more in detail in this episode and what his prison experience was like.

He talked about his mental state when he was getting arrested and what he felt while he was imprisoned. He was placed in a maximum security prison and he didn’t know how long he had to stay there. He talked about the people he was imprisoned with and what they went through as well.

We also start talking about what happened after he was imprisoned like his deportation and release. Listen until the end to hear some memorable and funny moments he had while he was in prison. He found joy and peace even through persecution.
