We are so glad to have Madison Perekotiy on the podcast today to talk about what it means to love our enemies with the love of Christ. Madison and her Ukrainian-born husband Yuriy have been full-time missionaries since 2018, first in Ukraine and now in Romania. In this episode, she and Natalie talk about what it’s like to have enemies in an ongoing war, how the character of God helps us to make sense of difficult circumstances, why the gospel is so important to remember when we are tempted to hate instead of love, and why the future restoration of all things offers great hope in the here and now.

This month’s memory verse: “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” — Luke 6:27

Today's Dwell guest: Madison Perekotiy is a follower of Jesus, wife to her Ukrainian husband Yuriy, and mom to four Amerikrainian kiddos! They have been full-time missionaries since 2018, first in Ukraine and now in Romania. Madison's heartbeat has always been for the vulnerable, fatherless, and for families. She is currently in grad school studying social work and applying that to what they do with Ukrainian refugees.
