\\nIn our third and final conversation with Patrick Sookhdeo we discuss:
\\n
\\n \\tThe origins of the charity Barnabas Fund which Patrick helped to start.
\\n \\tHow even though Western nations like to regard themselves as secular they are still perceived as Christian by the rest of the world.
\\n \\tHow Western foreign policy has inadvertently led to the increased persecution of Christian minorities in the Middle East and around the world.
\\n \\tHow in spite of this the church outside the West is growing faster than at any other time in world history.
\\n \\tWhy it is through weakness and suffering that the church grows.
\\n \\tPatrick's motivation to keep going in spite of many setbacks in his life.
\\n \\tThe importance of the Christian community being a place of genuine love for one another.
