CEO of CompassCare, Jim Harden knows all about Christian persecution, firsthand. It’s a battle he’s been waging for years now. Michael Bonning, Vice President of Operations for CompassCare, and Ayesha Kreutz, a black conservative and Project 21 Ambassador are also available speakers.

Harden became one of the first high-profile Christian leaders targeted in the aftermath of the Dobbs decision when pro-abortion extremist group Jane’s Revenge firebombed his Buffalo-area pregnancy center. The attack caused massive destruction and became a national symbol of escalating hostility toward Christians and the pro-life movement. Yet Harden says the physical attack was only the beginning.
Under the Biden administration, Harden argues that federal law enforcement and progressive state officials created an environment where Christian ministries were treated not as protected institutions, but as ideological enemies. That is persecution. His battle intensified under New York Attorney General Letitia James, as pro-life organizations faced mounting legal, political, and public pressure.
The film’s trailer includes chilling lines like “Your rights have been suspended,” “We all of a sudden became the enemy,” and “I prepared myself to probably die in prison.” Those warnings resonate deeply with Harden’s own experiences. Though not imprisoned, he says the campaign against Christian institutions in America increasingly relies on fear, selective enforcement, financial targeting, and intimidation rather than open debate.
What makes Harden uniquely compelling for interviews is that he is not merely commenting on the issue — he lived it. He can connect the broader themes of By Dawn’s Early Light to real-world events that unfolded in American cities, courtrooms, and media coverage over the last several years. He also brings solutions, discussing how churches, ministries, and ordinary Americans can respond without retreating from the public square.
Most importantly, Harden is among the only major Christian leaders to confront this issue comprehensively in book form, documenting the growing clash between religious liberty and political power in modern America.
As audiences begin discovering By Dawn’s Early Light, Jim Harden offers the real-life companion conversation to the film’s central warning: what happens when faith becomes viewed by government and activists not as a constitutional right, but as a threat.
