039 - The Cost of Discipleship: The Life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

December 15, 2023 • "The Gleanings", Jeremy Nelson, Philip Nelson

In today's Church History Snapshot, we consider the life, suffering, and execution of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In a time when the visible church was struggling with stagnancy and compromise on biblical truths, and when many Christians went along with atrocities committed against entire people groups, Dietrich Bonhoeffer stood up and stood out as shining light in the midst of darkness. Join us as we consider Bonheoffer's willingness to fight for the Bride of Christ; his opposition against wicked government and those who went along with it; his imprisonment and execution; and Bonheoffer's focus.

Let's learn about Robert Robinson's hymn "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessings."
