She came face-to-face with her assassin and what happened next is a story only God could write…International Human Rights Attorney @VirginiaProdan shares her supernatural story of prevailing for justice on this #JoniTableTalk! ——https://t.co/R40e7GrikY
In all my years of speaking, only one television invitation came with this condition:
Leave #Christ out of my story.
I #declined.
The invitation came after a speaking event. I had received several requests for interviews, and I welcomed the opportunity to reach more people.
But #Christ had sustained me while I defended persecuted Christians in Romania.
How could I explain those years while leaving Him out?
“I can’t do this,” I told them.
“He is part of my life.
He is my story.”
They kept calling and emailing.
Eventually, they changed the condition.
They said I could speak about Christ. I prayed before responding.
I believed God was telling me to decline because those parts of the interview would be edited out.
So I did not take part.
That experience changed the way I pray about opportunities.
Before accepting an invitation, I ask, “#Lord, is this where you want me?”
I also began asking Him to close doors I might be trying to open myself.
I know how strongly I can want an opportunity to work.
I still want to reach more people.
I also want them to know who sustained me when I was afraid.
I am deeply grateful to God and to the Christian television and radio networks that invite me to share my testimony of faith, courage, and freedom.
My prayer is that every interview strengthens #faith, restores #hope, and inspires others to stand #boldly for #truth.
The enemy tried to silence my voice. God is using it to inspire others!
When an opportunity matters to you, give its conditions your full attention.
Consider what you would be agreeing to say—and what you would be agreeing to leave out.
What part of your message would you refuse to remove, even for a bigger audience?

I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A GENERATION IS TAUGHT WHAT TO THINK—INSTEAD OF HOW TO THINK!
I lived it. I survived it. And I refuse to remain silent about it! Growing up under Communist dictatorship in Romania, I witnessed how a government could shape young minds, suppress truth, and use fear to control an entire nation.
As a human rights attorney, I risked my life defending those who dared to stand for their faith and freedom.
That experience taught me a powerful lesson: Whoever influences the next generation influences the future of a nation!

Charlie Kirk was waiting for his television interview.
Then I heard him applauding mine.
I was interviewed at @EpochTimes .
Charlie had arrived early for his own interview and stayed to listen.
Afterward, he approached me. He was warm and gracious.
Charlie thanked me for my courage, resilience, and commitment to defending freedom here in #America.
We handed our phones to his bodyguard and took a photograph together.
We later both spoke at an event in California.
We were both happy to encourage people, encourage each other, and take a picture together.
What stayed with me was the encouragement.
Hearing his response reassured me that what I had shared had reached him. I believe the Holy Spirit used that encouragement to embolden me.
I have moments when I question myself:
Is my message reaching people?
Am I doing enough?
It also made me think again about how to relate my experiences to #Americans who have never lived under a #dictatorship.
How could I help them connect my story with the fears, doubts and responsibilities in their own lives?
Looking back, I wonder whether our conversation encouraged Charlie, too.
I did not know all the pressures he was carrying.
After he was brutally killed by his assassin, I thought again about that encounter.
I had survived an attempt on my own life in #Romania.
His death brought home how #uncertain tomorrow is.
One Scripture that has assured me of God’s calling is:
“I have called you by name, you are mine.” — Isaiah 43:1
I return to those words to remember I belong.
If someone’s words have strengthened your faith or courage, tell them what helped you.
They may be questioning whether their mission is reaching people.
Who #encouraged you to keep going when you doubted whether your voice mattered?

In 1998, I - @VirginiaProdan -
returned to courtrooms in #Romania where I had defended Christians persecuted under Communist rule.
Some of the #judges and prosecutors invited me into their offices.
There were Bibles on their desks. Before going home, I stopped at a bookstore in Bucharest to buy gifts for my children. There were Bibles in the window and throughout the store. I remembered the displays dominated by the Communist dictator’s books and portraits.
I knelt in the bookstore and thanked God.
I was overwhelmed with gratitude for the work He had called me to do and the strength He had given me to do it.
There, I understood another assignment: wherever I went to speak, I was to encourage people to hear God’s call and accept the work He had prepared for them.

Fear gripped my heart so tightly that my hands trembled and my voice shook.
I - @VirginiaProdan - was a young human rights attorney in Communist Romania, defending Christians persecuted for their faith.
I knew that standing for truth could cost me my career, my freedom, and even my life.
But in my darkest moments, I discovered that God's power was greater than the fear confronting me.
He did not always remove the danger. Instead, He gave me the courage to face it.

I was asking #God to lead me.
But I was still trying to stay in control.
I would cry about my mistakes.
Even in prayer, I had #unknowingly made myself the center of my attention, focusing more on my pain and failures than on the God who could lead me beyond them.
Until one unforgettable moment changed my prayer life.
I remember kneeling, tears streaming down my face, when I saw #Christ before me, extending His #hands toward me.
He wasn't inviting me to remain trapped in guilt, regret, or self-pity.
He was inviting me into His #love.
Into His #peace.
Into His #joy.
And suddenly, I began to understand something that changed my prayer life.
I am still learning to turn my attention toward Christ.
Or to spend more time listening to and acting on what He asks of me.
I still have moments of self-pity.
For Christian #leaders, this matters.
We carry responsibilities, face difficult decisions and make mistakes.
We can bring all of that to God while also remembering His love and faithfulness.
If you recognize this in yourself, be honest about where you are.
Be patient with yourself.
Write down what you are learning so you can return to it and remember His faithfulness.
Your past mistakes do not have to determine your future.
#God's love can lead you forward.
You too can move from self-pity to praise.
What helps you turn toward praise when your circumstances have not changed?
What might change in your life today if you stopped trying to control everything and opened your hands to receive what Christ is offering you?

The election results may surprise us.
But they will never surprise #God.
As we reflect on the November 2026 elections, I want to remind you of a truth that sustained me through persecution in Communist Romania:
God is still in control. And He always has the last word.
I know what it means to live under leaders who oppose everything you believe in.
I know what it means to face fear, uncertainty, and seemingly impossible circumstances.
But I also know this: God never abandoned me.
And He has not abandoned America.
I believe God can use even the most difficult circumstances to teach us something valuable—for our good and His glory.
But here is the question:
Are we listening?
Are we asking God what He wants to teach us?
Are we responding with faith, wisdom, and courage?
Or are we allowing disappointment, fear, and discouragement to steal our hope and silence our voices?
Our responsibility is not to control every outcome.
It is to remain faithful to God in every circumstance.
An election may change who holds political power, but it cannot change who holds ultimate #authority.
God is not finished with us.
He is still working.
He is still teaching.
He is still leading.
Remember Romans 8:28: God works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
So today, I encourage you:
Do not surrender to discouragement.
Turn your disappointment into prayer, your concerns into purposeful action, and your faith into courageous leadership.
Because no election result can overturn #God's promises.
God is in control.
His purposes will prevail.
And He will have the final word.
My question to you:
What might God be teaching us through this moment—and are we willing to listen and respond?
With faith, courage, and hope,
@VirginiaProdan
DESIGNED FOR ANOTHER WORLD
What if the reason you feel out of place is that God created you for something greater?
Welcome to Courageous Leadership with @VirginiaProdan !
Have you ever looked at the world around you and wondered:
Why is it becoming so difficult to stand for truth? Why does living according to my Christian faith sometimes make me feel like a stranger in my own culture?
I understand those questions. I have lived them.
WHEN FAITH BECOMES A TEST OF COURAGE
https://t.co/s4q6wFX9AV
I spoke at the U.S. Air Force Academy about the man who came to my office to kill me.
The 2018 symposium’s theme was “Ethics and Respect for Human Dignity.”
In Communist #Romania, I defended Christians persecuted for their faith. #Dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu declared himself a #god and ruled Romania with an iron fist. He required all of us to worship him alone.
Because I continued to defend Christians, the dictator sent an #assassin to my office to #kill me.
The man entered my law office, pointed a gun at me and said he had come to kill me. I was terrified. I prayed.
Through Christ, I began to see more than the man threatening my life. I saw a person who needed to know God’s love.
I shared the gospel with him. The man who had come to kill me prayed to #accept #Christ.
He left without carrying out his orders. The threat from the regime had not ended, but that encounter had changed both of us.
That was one of the experiences I shared at the Academy. Afterward, Lieutenant #General Jay B. Silveria, then the superintendent, wrote that my remarks had made “a significant impact on the Air Force Academy Cadet Wing.”
He also credited the insights, experiences and dialogue I brought to the cadets and staff.
I am grateful for that response. I know how difficult it can be to act on your convictions while you are afraid. My faith in Christ helped me do that.
You may be facing hostility, rejection, or pressure to abandon your convictions.
Your fear does not disqualify you from acting courageously. Bring it to #God.
Ask Him for wisdom, strength, and the ability to see the person before you through His eyes.
You can stand firmly for truth and still respond with the love of Christ.
Where is fear holding you back from doing what you know is right?
What courageous, faithful step will you take today?
If you are planning a conference, leadership program or retreat, send me a message about your audience and the decisions they are facing.
We can discuss how my experiences could serve them.

🇺🇸 THE HOPE OF AMERICA IS YOU!
Are you waiting for someone to change America?
What if God is calling YOU to be part of that change?
🎙️ TODAY on Courageous Leadership with @VirginiaProdan
Episode: THE #HOPE OF #AMERICA IS #YOU!
America's future is not shaped only in Washington, D.C.
It is shaped in our homes, churches, schools, workplaces, and communities—by ordinary people willing to stand for extraordinary principles.
https://t.co/qkwj5vZ0kY
As an international human rights attorney who survived persecution under #Communist #Romania, I know what happens when people surrender their freedom—and what becomes possible when they courageously defend it.
I believe America's greatest hope begins with people who refuse to surrender to fear, silence, or hopelessness.
In today's episode, I will share four powerful principles to help you recognize the hope within you—and become a source of hope for America.
You will be challenged to move:
✨ From fear to courage.
✨ From silence to conviction.
✨ From discouragement to purposeful action.
✨ From waiting for change to becoming part of it.
You do not need a title, a position of power, or a perfect life to make a difference.
You need the courage to begin where God has placed you.
🇺🇸 America needs your faith. Your courage. Your voice. Your leadership.
The question is not simply, "Who will save America's future?" The question is, "What will YOU do with the freedom and opportunities God has entrusted to you?"
🎧 Listen, be encouraged, and discover how YOU can become part of America's hope!
