The Christian Church is no stranger to hardship or persecution.  In the days of the Early Church, Rome attempted to grind Believers into the dust.  Today, persecution still occurs throughout a number of places in the world, but in the West, Christians have experienced years of peace and prosperity.  However, it has recently seemed that, even in the West, being a Christian has become harder.  Here, in its 100th episode, the Paradigm Switch discusses the deteriorating situation for Christians in the West today, why this might be happening, and how to approach this situation as Believers in Christ.
