2 Choices: Conform or Face Persecution (with Msgr. James Shea)

The Maccabean Revolt presented the Jewish people with a difficult choice: conform or face persecution. Christians today may feel a similar cultural pressure to compromise their beliefs. In this discussion, Jeff Cavins and Monsignor James Shea examine the heroic resistance of Jews who refused to conform during the Maccabean Revolt. They encourage contemporary Christians to find inspiration from these historical examples as they consider how to stand firm in their faith despite societal pressures.
