Bearing Witness: A Journey with Six Million Voices

Unknown Speaker

Hey everyone, and welcome back to The Narrow Road—where we find devotional messages that we can hold in our hearts in songs and experiences that challenge, inspire, and stretch our faith. I’m Scott Fehrenbacher.

Nancy Wake

And I’m Nancy Wake. We usually dig into a song to find an important devotional message we can hold onto. But today, we’re here to talk about a powerful experience that we encourage everyone to take - and this experience left both of us... changed. We’re talking about a powerful experience called Six Million Voices, and the experience they offer—it’s not just educational, it’s transformational.

Scott Fehrenbacher

I think the word transformational may be understating it, actually.

Nancy Wake

Totally. I honestly didn’t expect how deeply it would hit me. Six Million Voices provides live, virtual guided tours of Auschwitz and other Holocaust sites. I know “virtual tour” sounds a little clinical—but this was anything but. It was immersive. Emotional. Unforgettable.

Scott Fehrenbacher

Exactly. It’s like stepping into history—and not just observing it, but feeling it. I found myself sitting in my home office... and yet somehow I felt like I was right there on the grounds of Auschwitz. Seeing the remnants. Hearing the stories. It was heartbreaking. And holy.

Nancy Wake

And the moment that really undid me—was seeing the little shoes. Children’s shoes. And knowing... those weren’t just artifacts. They were part of someone’s story. A little life cut short. That’s when I felt the Holy Spirit whisper, “This is why we must never forget.”

Scott Fehrenbacher

Yes. It’s impossible to walk through that and not feel a deep sense of grief... but also conviction. Because this isn’t just about what happened then—this is about what’s happening now. In a world where hatred, antisemitism, and division are once again on the rise, this ministry is so needed.

Nancy Wake

That’s the thing. We think these things are in the past. That we’ve learned. But have we really? We’re watching people get dehumanized again. Whole communities pushed to the margins. And the Church cannot afford to be silent. Not again.

Scott Fehrenbacher

No. Silence is what let it happen the first time. And Six Million Voices makes that painfully clear. The power of their tour is in how it confronts you with truth—truth that shakes you, and truth that calls you to respond.

Nancy Wake

And it makes you ask yourself... Where have I been silent? Where have I looked away?

Scott Fehrenbacher

After the tour, I opened my Bible and just sat with Micah 6:8: “What does the Lord require of you but to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.” And I realized—this isn’t a suggestion. It’s a requirement. A mandate for every believer.

Nancy Wake

Yes, and for me, it was Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” I thought—if the Lord draws near to the broken, shouldn’t we? Shouldn’t we step closer, even when it’s painful?

Scott Fehrenbacher

It was heavy, no doubt. But it wasn’t hopeless. The tour ends not just in mourning—but in movement. In the idea that remembering is how we resist. That learning is how we love. And that each of us has a role in breaking the cycle.

Nancy Wake

Absolutely. That’s what makes this more than just history. It’s a devotional. It’s a commission. It’s a reminder that we are the voices now. That we carry the responsibility to speak up. To protect. To proclaim human dignity in a world that keeps trying to erase it.

Scott Fehrenbacher

And let’s be honest—so many of us are searching for ways to grow in our faith, to go deeper. This? This is deep water. This is where your heart meets the call of justice, and you walk away forever changed.

Nancy Wake

If you're a parent, a pastor, a teacher—or just someone who wants to love better and understand more—please go take this tour. Invite your small group. Bring your youth team. Let it break your heart in all the right ways.

Scott Fehrenbacher

I've fortunate that I've been able to visit the Holocaust museum in Washington DC, and the Yad Vashem holocaust museum in Jerusalem a number of times, and whether you can tour those powerful museums, or if you invest the time to take this virtual tour, I believe the experience will print scripture on your heart as a result that will change the way you see the world. I can tell you this virtual tour, given the world we are living in today, is definitely worth the time to check out. You can learn more at sixmillionvoices.org. That’s sixmillionvoices.org. It’s one of the most important things we’ve experienced this year. And we don’t say that lightly.

Nancy Wake

Let’s be people who remember. Who listen. Who stand. That’s the narrow road. And it’s worth walking.

Scott Fehrenbacher

Thanks for joining us today. We’ll see you next time here on The Narrow Road—where we keep pressing into truth, even when it’s hard.

Nancy Wake

Especially when it’s hard.
