How widespread is global Christian persecution, and what distinct forces are driving violence against religious minorities worldwide? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft welcomes back Ed Clancy, Director of Outreach for Aid to the Church in Need USA, to examine key findings from the organization's report on global anti-Christian persecution. 

Clancy outlines the primary drivers of religious persecution: ethno-nationalism, authoritarian government overreach, radical secularism, and religious extremism. He breaks down how ethno-religious nationalism divides communities in places like India and Nigeria, where Christian families face severe social ostracization, physical violence, and property confiscation.

Clancy details why sub-Saharan Africa remains the deadliest arena for Christians, highlighting terror groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, and militant Fulani herder factions. He also discusses "polite persecution" and economic marginalization in parts of the Middle East, alongside Latin American religious repression in Nicaragua, where the Ortega regime has expelled bishops, shuttered seminaries, and stripped clergy of citizenship.
