UPPER MARLBORO, Md – ESPN journalist Chris Broussard was battle tested earlier this year when his comments on homosexuality caused a firestorm of controversy, sparking calls for his firing. That was just one example of what Broussard sees as the impending persecution of Christians unless the country experiences a spiritual revival.

“People who follow Jesus Christ and believe in the Bible are going to be tested like never before,” Broussard told attendees at the 15th annual Mighty Men of Valor National Men’s Conference. “America is becoming increasingly hostile to Christians.”

He cited examples of 10-year-old girl who was rebuked by her teacher for writing a school paper on God; a teenager who got in trouble for dressing as Jesus Christ for Halloween; and the cancellation of Donnie McClurkin’s scheduled performance at a March on Washington concert due to his personal testimony on deliverance from homosexuality.

Broussard said with so many ills affecting society, the body of Christ needs to be an alternative. “When the world sees our light shining, they should say ‘I want to get some of that,’” he said. ‘I need to get that power to have healthy marriages, good relationships with my children and walk in sexual purity.’ That’s our battle. For us to do those things we have to be get sharpened.”

He outlined three arenas for battle:

1) Ourselves. To win this fight we have to remember what happened when we got saved and realize it was no small thing. It was a powerful, phenomenal, mind-blowing, life-altering, family-generation-changing occurrence. We are no longer slaves to sin.

2) Society. The world will try to make you buckle and give up your beliefs. They don’t care if you go to church, say you believe in Jesus or carry a big Bible. They just don’t want you to really walk like Jesus because they don’t want the anointing. They’re afraid of that.  We can’t let the world tell us what’s sin.

3) The church. The battle is for us to unify true, Bible-believing Christians and to unify across all racial, denominational and political lines. We should be able to get together and get behind a Kingdom agenda, where we’re against gay marriage and abortion, but also against mass incarceration and racial profiling.
