On this episode of "The Inside Story," Billy Hallowell sits down with The Christian Post’s Ryan Foley to unpack the growing crisis of Christian persecution around the world.

Fresh from covering a Conservative Political Action Conference summit on "Ending Christian Persecution" at the Kennedy Center in Washington, Foley reveals troubling trends in countries like Nigeria, where government failure and silence from global leaders have left believers vulnerable — and even South Korea, where surprising hostility toward faith is emerging.

NOTE: This episode was taped before President Donald Trump vowed to have his administration redesignate Nigeria as a "Country of Particular Concern" and even threatened potential U.S. military involvement amid concerns over escalating violence that advocates say has led to thousands of Christians being killed each year.
