Church and State… of Emergency: Holy Sites Increasingly the Soft Targets for Persecution and Marxist Bullies
After Charlie Kirk invited Rev. Harden onto his show to discuss the firebombing of one of Harden’s Christian pro-life medical offices he operates in New York, Kirk publicly assured him, “We have your back 100%.” When Kirk was later assassinated, Rev. Harden became the first national Christian leader to say plainly what others would not: this was not merely political violence—it was Christian persecution. Harden knew because he was already living it.

As founder and CEO of CompassCare, Rev. Harden built the largest Christian pro-life medical network in New York—the most aggressively pro-abortion state in the country. That visibility has made him a target at every level of power. CompassCare has endured weaponized legislation from New York State and New York City, lawfare initiated by the New York Attorney General, coordinated doxxing campaigns, death threats, cyber-terror attacks, debanking, censorship by Big Tech, and viewpoint discrimination. One of his facilities was firebombed by pro-abortion Antifa extremists, injuring two firefighters. Even federal law enforcement has been politicized against his ministry.
This isn’t activism gone wrong—it’s belief colliding with power.
Rev. Harden’s book confronts the question many Christians are now being forced to ask: Why does faithfully living out Christian belief in public provoke such hostility? His answer is uncompromising. “There are only two things that are sacred in this world—God and people.” Because every human being is made in God’s image, life is inherently valuable from the moment of fertilization. That belief doesn’t stay private. It drives action—and that action now brings persecution.
Harden connects this modern reality to the heart of the Gospel. Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, shed infinitely valuable blood to redeem humanity—revealing the infinite value God places on each person. The Gospel, Harden argues, is not passive belief but a call to sacrificial action: to “engage in good deeds” (Titus 3:8) and confront systemic evil, including abortion. Faith that does not act is dead.
Scripture warned us this day would come. “All who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12). Jesus Himself foretold persecution in the last days (Matthew 24). That future is no longer abstract—it is here.
Rev. Jim Harden offers firsthand testimony and biblical clarity on how Christians should understand, endure, and respond to persecution in America. For any audience trying to grasp what is happening to faith in the public square, his voice is urgent, credible, and impossible to ignore.
Rev. Jim Harden is available for broadcast, print, and podcast interviews immediately.
