Live Not by Lies! (2025 - 2025)

Totalitarians always promise earthly paradise right around the corner. But since paradise on earth is impossible, they also rely on the rewriting of history in order to maintain their control. The key to resistance is to preserve the truth. In this episode we dive deeper into the Czechoslovakian resistance movement and talk about how history is being rewritten today.

Totalitarians are never content to change the past. They eventually want the definition of what it means to be a human; they want to turn us into machines on the factory line of progress. In this episode we explore the brutal communist dictatorship in Romania, the “child gulags” that grew there and the way that lies enables the killing of millions of humans today.

When enough people stand up for the truth, the lies begin to crumble. But what gives those heroes strength, to endure not only awkward confrontations, but years in prison? In this episode we explore the stories of the “prison mothers and fathers” who fought totalitarianism, not with guns, but with patience, prayer and self-sacrifice.
