The Tenpenny Files with Rev. Jim Harden

Your church could become a target because of what it believes. Your business could lose financial services because of the work it does. Your children could begin asking why strangers are threatening your family. Most Americans still believe those things happen somewhere else.

Rev. Jim Harden knows otherwise.

As CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Services and author of Endure: The Rising Christian Persecution for the Greater Reward, Harden shares what happened after his Christian pro-life medical office in Buffalo, New York, was firebombed in 2022. The attack caused extensive damage and injured two firefighters. What followed was years of pressure that reached every corner of his life. His family endured death threats, doxxing, cyberattacks, lawsuits, and government scrutiny.

This conversation asks questions that go far beyond one ministry.

What happens when people of faith no longer trust the institutions that were created to protect them? What happens when medical ethics become political? What happens when government claims the power to decide which lives deserve legal protection and which do not?

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny and Rev. Jim Harden discuss the legal battle surrounding abortion pill reversal and why pregnancy centers became targets after the overturning of Roe v. Wade. They examine the growing hostility toward Christian organizations and the danger of assuming religious liberty is guaranteed simply because it has existed for generations.

The conversation also turns inward.

How do parents teach courage when their children are afraid? How do families stay faithful when public conviction comes with personal consequences? How should churches prepare if the pressure that reached CompassCare reaches their communities next?

The interview reveals one family’s experience. The book goes deeper into the biblical understanding of suffering and endurance that Harden believes many American Christians have forgotten.

The question left hanging over this entire discussion is deeply personal.

If standing for truth threatened your reputation, your livelihood, and your family’s sense of safety, would you still stand?
