Dr. Kenneth Pervaiz and Dr. Kaiser Julius (Pakistan) discuss the doctrine of justification and the lived reality of union with Christ for believers facing marginalization in their context, highlighting how caste, class, and legalistic influences challenge the unity of the church in Pakistan. Drawing parallels with Paul’s confrontation in Galatians 2, they emphasize the importance of both theological depth and practical application for the health of the church, and reflect on how the Gospel’s power redefines identity and community across cultural boundaries. This conversation is from Theo Global in South Asia.
Dr. Keneth Pervaiz is Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies and Director of the Center of Biblical Teaching & Research at Forman Christian College, and Associate Pastor at International Christian Fellowship in Lahore, Pakistan.
Dr. Qaiser Julius is the Director of the Open Theological Seminary and General Secretary for the Theological Educators Forum in Lahore, Pakistan.

![Ben Sasse on Life, Cancer, and the Gospel
Before entering public office, Ben Sasse served as the Director of White Horse Inn and Executive Editor of Modern Reformation at Sola Media. On February 7, 2026, he joined longtime friends Michael Horton and Dan Bryant to discuss his cancer diagnosis, the early days of Sola Media, and the hope of the gospel.
As Executive Editor of Modern Reformation at Sola Media from 1998 to 2000, Ben Sasse helped articulate our vision for a modern reformation. “[We want to teach] individuals about historic Protestant theology,” Sasse wrote, “creating a community of Protestants who take their particular church bodies and confessions very seriously, and (not but) take their pan-Protestant, evangelical identity seriously as well.” Ben’s work in Sola’s early years was invaluable in advancing our mission to serve the church with resources for reformation. We are immensely grateful for Ben, his friendship, and the legacy he has helped build.
