The Cost Of Staying Silent (Ed Young, Eric Metaxas)

Ed Young sits down with bestselling author and commentator Eric Metaxas for a bold, honest conversation about truth, courage, and the role of the Church in today’s culture.

In this episode, Eric shares his powerful testimony, from growing up in a working-class immigrant family to attending Yale, drifting from faith, and experiencing a dramatic encounter with Jesus that changed his life forever. Together, Ed and Eric discuss the lives and legacies of Martin Luther, William Wilberforce, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and what their examples mean for Christians today.

They also talk candidly about the responsibility of pastors to speak biblical truth with both love and clarity, even when the culture pushes back. From cultural pressure and silence in the Church to the need for conviction, compassion, and courage, this conversation is a timely challenge for believers to stand firm on God’s Word.
