Listen "A Shield Around Me: Faith Lessons from Londonderry"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textA short address presented to a Protestant association, uses historical military crises to highlight the necessity of spiritual reliance over human strength and numbers. The author draws a distinct connection between the seemingly impossible odds faced during the Siege of Londonderry in 1688 and the miraculous survival of Britain during the Second World War, specifically referencing the unexpected success of events like the evacuation at Dunkirk and the D-Day landings. Citing Psalm 3, the argument asserts that true national deliverance stems from God, who acts as a shield when believers cry out to Him. The piece argues that the foundational pillar of the Union is the shared Protestant faith, which should motivate political and personal conduct. Ultimately, the text challenges its audience to move beyond cultural identity and demonstrate genuine commitment through personal repentance and constant prayer for the nation’s future and liberties.Welcome to Know Surrender—a podcast about learning what it truly means to surrender to Jesus Christ.
