Woman Alive | The podcast for Christian women

What does it mean to trust God when drones are flying overhead, bombs are exploding and war has become part of everyday life? In this powerful episode of the Woman Alive podcast, Commissioning Editor Jemimah Wright speaks to Sharyn Borodina, an American missionary who has served in Ukraine for 30 years. Speaking from western Ukraine amid escalating drone attacks, Sharyn shares the reality of living through war, but amid the devastation, Sharyn is witnessing extraordinary stories of faith. She tells Jemimah about a Ukrainian prisoner of war who dreamed God would release him on Easter Sunday, soldiers coming to faith in Jesus and the remarkable ways the Church is responding to suffering. Having been forced to flee her home twice, Sharyn explains why she believes the joy of the Lord is her strength, even in the darkest circumstances. And for those worried about the possibility of war spreading across Europe, she has a powerful message about prayer, courage and trusting God. Sharyn is the author of For the Love of Ukraine: A Story of Faith, Family, and the Fight for Freedom. Listen to this moving conversation about finding hope, faith and God's presence in the midst of war.
