Welcome to this episode of China Compass, the 6th in a weekly series called “The Prison Pulpit”. I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I share a new region to pray for daily. You can learn more PrayforChina.us. Every week, I mention the Appendix to my little memoir, Unbeaten, which details my arrest, interrogation, and deportation from China. This appendix, entitled Remember My Chains, is the written version of a message I have given all over the country dealing with remembering and praying for the persecuted church. You can get the book, Unbeaten, including the sermon, Remember My Chains, at Unbeaten.vip Today I want to read an illustration from that sermon, written by Richard Wurmband in his book In God's Underground (https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/pdfs/IGU-english.pdf). For those who don't know who Richard Wurmband is, let me give you a brief intro: Lutheran minister in Romania, part Jewish. 14 years in prison, including 2 in isolation. Helped start Voice of the Martyrs, but his son Michael doesn’t trust VOM. M. Wurmbrand’s VOM letter: https://www.billionbibles.com/michael-wurmbrand-vom.html Michael Wurmbrand’s ministry (free books!) : https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/ Pastor Richard Wurmbrand shares this moving testimony from a dirty underground prison cell: Our friendship began while I was trying to eat my first meal at Craiova (prison). The vile, greasy smell of the soup preceded its arrival in the cell. Shreds of rotten cabbage and unwashed [intestines] floated in a scum. But to eat was a duty and I emptied my dish. “How can you?” asked [my friend], whose stomach had revolted. “It was a Christian secret,” I said. “I think of St. Paul’s words ‘Rejoice with those that rejoice.’ Then I remember friends in America who are now eating grilled chicken, and I thank God with them as I take the first mouthful of soup. Next, I rejoice with friends in England who may be eating roast beef. And I get down another mouthful. So, by way of many friendly countries, I rejoice with those that rejoice—and stay alive.” [My friend] and I had to share a bunk through the hot, stuffy nights. I was [blessed] not to be on the floor. “You lie very still,” he said as others coughed and fidgeted around us. “What are you thinking? Does St. Paul help you now, too?” I replied, “Yes, for now I rejoice with those in the West by thinking of their comfortable homes, and the books they have, the holidays they can plan, the music they hear, the love they have for their wives and children. And I remember the second part of the verse, from the epistle to the Romans, ‘And weep with those that weep.’ I am sure that in the West many thousands think of us and try to help us with their prayers.”

One of the critical roles in your business is the frontline manager. This is the role of execution. The top leader has the vision, the strategy, the plans. Those are crucial aspects to ensure your organization is moving in the right direction. Is the frontline manager bought into the mission? Does he own it? This is the first factor to consider in making sure you have the right person for the job. The second factor is equally important. But it'll have to wait until next time, when we talk more about how the frontline manager is the linchpin.

Do you know the truth about Thanksgiving? Host Joseph Backholm is joined by Tim Barton, president of Wall Builders, to shed light on what the first Thanksgiving was actually like. Who were the pilgrims? They were not land-stealing English men like many history books make them out to be. They were hardworking individuals, who, with the help of local Indians were able to learn how to survive, farm, and build community in the new land they called home.

Pastor Doug Wilson joins us to break down the Antioch Declaration—a fiery call for the Church to quit playing nice with cultural rot. What does real repentance and reformation look like? How do we fight like Christians in a world gone mad? Tune in for sharp wit, bold truth, and no fluff. Don’t miss it. Share it. Let’s go.

Hey, Neighbor! Luke felt led to pray for his Unbelieving co-worker--but he wonders if he prayed the right way? Also, should we just ask for "God's Will" to be done every time, or is that kind of a cop-out? Later: A woman's 10-year-old daughter suddenly stopped walking, and she wants to help you learn how to buy crutches for your child as well. (That sounds sensational, but she DOES have a Parenting Course.) Let us explain why social media is full of this nonsense... Contact the Comedian at Nextdoor@johnbranyan.com

Identifying the source of the problem - whether accurate or not - is not the same thing as solving the problem. Identifying the source is not yet taking responsibility for it. But, taking responsibility for a problem is difficult because it assumes work must be done. Address the problem early and quickly without dragging it out. Pull the weeds while they're still small.

On this episode of CrossPolitic, Joy Pullman breaks down how the rise of queer politics is more than just a cultural trend—it’s a direct assault on America’s foundational values. From the erosion of traditional morality to the clash with religious freedom, Pullman argues that LGBTQ+ activism is pushing the country toward a dangerous tipping point. Tune in for a bold, no-holds-barred discussion on what’s at stake for the future of America.

When Christians lose the metaphysic and cosmology of Colossians 1:15-20, we fall prey to the “empty traditions and philosophies of men.” David uses John Owen’s exposition of Hebrews 11:1, legislative testimony from the most prominent pro-life lawyer in America, and what the founder of a Christian law school said he teaches his students to show how a wrong metaphysic and cosmology turns making the argument of law into counting votes on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Host Joseph Backholm is joined by Andrew Walker, professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and co-author of “What Do I Say When…?” for a guiding conversation on how Christian parents can navigate raising children in this changing secular culture. Written alongside his wife, Andrew’s new book weighs in on the specific challenges Christian parents face, what does a successful Christian parent look like, and how to be in the world, but not of it. As the culture shifts into a different moral era, Christians need to learn to navigate it by drawing confidence and truth from Scripture.

When does rebellion become righteous? While pagans scream 'resist!' and conservatives mutter 'Romans 13,' we're sitting down with Dr. Gary Steward to crack open 'Justifying Revolution' and find out what the Bible actually says about resisting tyranny. From the American Revolution to today's chaos, we're diving into when Christians should stand up to governmental overreach. Grab your drink - this episode is going to ruffle some feathers!

Culture's redefining everything from truth to justice to love, and Scott Allen's here to explain why it matters. His new book '10 Words to Heal Our Broken World' exposes how progressives are hijacking our dictionary and what Christians can do about it. We're diving into why words matter, how they shape culture, and what happens when society plays fast and loose with meaning. Turns out, Humpty Dumpty's great fall might just be a prophecy.

Welcome to this bonus episode of China Compass, the 5th in a weekly series called “The Prison Pulpit”. I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. You can follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where (among other things) I share a new prefecture and/or city to pray for daily. Visit PrayforChina.us to learn more. If you want to see the missionary books I’ve published and learn more about our work, you can find links to everything @ PrayGiveGo.us Between now and the end of the year I am working through some of the writings of imprisoned Chinese pastor, Wang Yi, of Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu, China, which were published just before and after his arrest in December of 2018. The idea is to give him a voice, even though he is physically locked away (for now) and remind the church to "remember his chains" and pray for all those who are currently being persecuted in like manner, a la Hebrews 13:3. Besides Wang Yi's own writings (link in the show notes) a book that might be helpful is my little memoir, Unbeaten, which details my arrest, interrogation, and deportation from China in 2018. At the end of the book, I included an appendix entitled Remember My Chains, which is basically the manuscript of a message I have given dozens of times around the country dealing with this very topic: remembering and praying for the persecuted church, especially in China. You can get the book, Unbeaten, including the sermon, Remember My Chains, at Unbeaten.vip Read more about Wang Yi: https://chinapartnership.org/who-is-wang-yi/ https://www.amazon.com/Faithful-Disobedience-Writings-Chinese-Movement/dp/1514004135 Wang Yi, from his Declaration of Faithful Disobedience: (I am filled with anger and disgust at the persecution of the church by this Communist regime, at the wickedness of their depriving people of the freedoms of religion and of conscience.) But changing social and political institutions is not the mission I have been called to, and it is not the goal for which God has given his people the gospel. For all hideous realities, unrighteous politics, and arbitrary laws manifest the cross of Jesus Christ, the only means by which every Chinese person must be saved. They also manifest the fact that true hope and a perfect society will never be found in the transformation of any earthly institution or culture but only in our sins being freely forgiven by Christ and in the hope of eternal life. C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity: “Aim at Heaven and you will get earth ‘thrown in’: aim at earth and you will get neither. It seems a strange rule, but something like it can be seen at work in other matters. Health is a great blessing, but the moment you make health one of your main, direct objects you start becoming a crank and imagining there is something wrong with you. You are only likely to get health provided you want other things more—food, games, work, fun, open air. In the same way, we shall never save civilization if civilization is our main object. We must learn to want something else even more.”

We are once again donning our tin foil hats here at Outstanding as host Joseph Backholm is joined by The Washington Stand’s Jared Bridges and Family Research Council’s Matt Carpenter to analyze and guide listeners on how one can think biblical about conspiracy theories. Did the government generate Hurricane Milton and Helene? What is the difference between cynicism and conspiracy? While many conspiracy theorists are in search of knowledge and truth, as believers we can rest assured knowing our truth is in Christ and we will never fully know everything in this life.

Allow us to do a birthday party recap, Neighbor! Emmi Jane successfully turned nine years old, with only a small "Freak Out" involving tiny food and glue... This wasn't the first time Emmi lost her mind a little bit! Later: Is every 11-year-old boy exactly the same??? Pretty much. And finally: John told the Internet that boys play with Lego differently from girls, and he's still enduring the backlash. (You CAN'T make weapons out of Lego! Duh!)

In this episode, Glenn and honorary Pug John West of the Discovery Institute interview Indian Christian philosopher Vishal Mangalwadi about his life, his proposals for recovering the role of the church in higher education, and his analysis of where Western culture epistemology went wrong. This last point generated a lively discussion about general and special revelation between Vishal and John.

Welcome to China Compass! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. You can follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I post daily reminders to pray for China (PrayforChina.us). You can also email me with any questions or comments @ bfwesten at gmail dot com. B.F. Westen is my pen name, for security reasons. If you want to see the missionary books I’ve published and learn more about our work, you can find easy links to everything @ PrayGiveGo.us! Today I join my good friend and China ministry partner, Denny, as he continues in house arrest after his conviction for saving babies in Nashville. Among other things, we talk about the used Christian bookstore (www.RemnantBooks.org) that helps support his family and ministry, and the now polygamous missionary to China’s tropical paradise, Hainan Island, a former friend who we both once knew and respected. Remnant (Used Christian) Books: www.RemnantBooks.org But first, I want to talk briefly about China’s South American Concubines… Biden and Xi Meet in Peru, Chinese Megaport Inaugurated https://apnews.com/article/china-peru-port-poverty-latin-america-1e06904f76cca1d7aaf19bca8bd24d93 I also refer to another opinion piece, supposedly written by Dictator Xi himself, but I don’t have a link to that article. The Chinese government website that hosted the English version of the article did not seem too secure, so I copied the text into a Google doc, which is what I refer to in the podcast. Pray for China Province of the Week: Hainan Island Hainan Island (Province) in China is matched up with the state of Hawaii for prayer. By the way, Hainan means “South of the Sea” and refers to the island’s location in the South China Sea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hainan https://www.asiaharvest.org/china-resources/hainan The Martyrs of Hainan https://www.asiaharvest.org/china-resources/hainan/1924-george-byers https://www.asiaharvest.org/china-resources/hainan/1918-frank-gilman See which Chinese province your state is praying for @ PrayforChina.us!

In this episode of CrossPolitic, we dive deep into the battle lines of our time, examining the malevolent influence of figures like Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins. Are they the "Two Towers"—Mordor’s open malevolence and Isengard’s compromised, co-opted church? We explore how the modern church mirrors the failures of Christendom in Germany during the Third Reich, abandoning its call to confront evil with truth. Join us as we discuss the cultural collapse, the need for a faithful remnant, and how God’s sovereignty fuels the fight to reclaim relevance and stand against tyranny. Fight, laugh, feast—and resist Mordor!

Two weeks ago, David argued there were Fifth Commandment problems with the legal arguments submitted by Christians to the U.S. Supreme Court in defense of Tennessee’s law prohibiting the use of medicine to address a minor’s gender dysphoria. Today David looks at the briefs submitted on behalf of four Christian organizations to explain why he thinks there are problems with the first three commandments, too.

How invested should the U.S. government be in conflicts around the world? Is there a specific role the government should play? Professor at Regent University, A.J. Nolte, joins host Joseph Backholm to answer these questions regarding the war in Ukraine.

With a new administration coming into power, will they handle Ukraine, Russia, and foreign policy differently?

Welcome to this special episode of China Compass, the fourth in a weekly series which I am calling “The Prison Pulpit”. I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Between now and the end of the year I am working through some of the writings of imprisoned Chinese pastor, Wang Yi, of Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu, China, which were published just before and after his arrest in December of 2018. You can follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where (among other things) I share a new prefecture and/or city to pray for daily. Visit PrayforChina.us to learn more. If you want to see the missionary books I’ve published and learn more about our work, you can find links to everything @ PrayGiveGo.us! One book that might be helpful is my little memoir, Unbeaten, which details my arrest, interrogation, and deportation from China in 2018. At the end of the book, I included an appendix entitled Remember My Chains, which is basically the manuscript (notes) from a message I have given dozens of times around the country dealing with this very topic: remembering and praying for the persecuted church, especially in China. You can get the book, Unbeaten, including the sermon, Remember My Chains, at Unbeaten.vip Today's excerpt from Pastor Wang Yi... God Raises Up (and Deposes) Kings On the basis of the teachings of the Bible and the mission of the gospel, I respect the authorities God has established in China. For God deposes kings and raises up kings. This is why I submit to the historical and institutional arrangements of God in China. As a pastor of a Christian church, I have my own understanding and views, based on the Bible, about what righteous order and good government is. At the same time, I am filled with anger and disgust at the persecution of the church by this Communist regime, at the wickedness of their depriving people of the freedoms of religion and of conscience. Don't forget to pray for our team (currently on the run) in China!
