Inside a Kyiv Church Fighting to Survive the War

Sit down with Pastor Anatoly Kalyuzhny and his son Anton from New Life Church in Kyiv. They’ve just come from Ukraine to California for a short visit before they drive back across the Polish border into an active war zone. They walk you through what daily life really looks like: blackouts, air raid sirens, long nights with little sleep, and the constant possibility that a rocket could hit their home or church at any moment.You’ll hear how their church has become a spiritual and practical lifeline—serving widows, orphans, and soldiers; training chaplains; turning their building into a warm shelter where people can charge phones, find internet, pray, and simply be together. They also talk frankly with you about corruption, the history of broken agreements with Russia, pressure on young men to leave or stay, and why they believe Ukraine must be strong if there’s ever going to be real peace.#UkraineWar #Kyiv#Ukraine#Christianity#PersecutedChurch#FaithUnderFire#RussiaUkraineWar#NewLifeChurchKyiv#VictoriaTaft#AdultInTheRoom
