Ukrainian-American Pastor Says His Homeland Is Watching for God to Show Up

In the darkest of times, we are tempted to give in to despair. For those living in war-torn Ukraine, the temptation must be enormous.

But all around the world, people are seeing images of hope and faith amid Ukraine's gloom. In basements, rubble-strewn streets, and underground rail stations, the Ukrainian people are coming together.

Pastor Andrew Moroz, an American, was born in Ukraine and has many relatives there. He says he understands the desire to keep up hope.

"Life in some ways has to go on in the midst of a war zone," Moroz says.

"There are some things that are normal and there are many things that are not normal that are happening right now, but people are continuing to pursue each other and pursue God in some way."

Moroz joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss how Ukrainians are resisting the urge to give up, and how faith there is stronger than ever.
