In Part 2 - IDEAS in Cairo: Radio Interview, Jayson Casper talks about his job as a journalist and his thoughts on the role of Christianity in Egypt. He speaks from a voice of experience and humility, touching on such topics as the martyred Coptic men, refugees in Egypt and the way Christians around the world can support their brothers and sisters in areas of conflict.

In his blog, A Sense of Belonging, Jayson writes:

"This week I had the opportunity to appear on 'The Way Home' podcast, hosted by Dan Darling. Darling is the Vice President for Communications at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, and he invited me to share about current events in the Middle East and in particular how they are impacting Christians. Here is his introduction:

All of us have reacted with horror at the atrocities committed by the terrorist group ISIS upon Christians in the Middle East. How can Christians pray? How should we think about ISIS?

 

Today on The Way Home I talk with Jayson Casper, a Christianity Today journalist who has been covering this story. He called me from Cairo to discuss how Christians in places like Egypt, Jordan, and other countries are reacting to the atrocities of their brothers and sisters in Syria and Iraq and Libya. He also gives a thorough analysis of ISIS and Islamic extremism.

Our conversation lasted about half an hour, touching on various questions. Is ISIS Islamic? How are Christians responding? How should Western Christians pray?"
