Whether it's production runs, flow of product, financing needs, finding equity, resolving customer issues, or clearing work blockages, people build up a mirage of rules and explain away why they can't get through this problem. What they lack is a sort of freedom mindset - a creative approach - to be able to chart a path toward solving the problem. Some people are stuck finding the lights for their facility. Others are on their way to Mars. There are less rules than you think.

After a brief intro, I play a clip of John MacArthur accidentally sharing (10!) falsehoods about the millionaire missionary, William Borden, from a sermon back in 1988 (5:05). Next, I explain some of the details that MacArthur got wrong, and give my broader reflections on the topic (10:20). Last, I include a message about William Borden that I gave back in March of 2024 at the Collegiate Reformed Fellowship in Moscow, ID, telling the amazing true story of the Millionaire Missionary (27:05). I also share my personal connection to Borden’s story at the end (1:01:07). Welcome to China Compass on the Fight Laugh Feast Network! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben.

Today, David explains how Christianity succumbed to the cosmological revolution of Kant and Nietzsche, the specific adoption of that cosmology by the U.S. Supreme Court, and the secret to a launching a successful Christ-centered counter-revolution. But, he says, it won't begin so long as Christians lawyers and policy makers put their faith in being able to manipulate to their immediate advantage U.S.Supreme Court precedents over the last 100 years grounded in the new cosmology.

In today's show Pastor Toby and The Chocolate Knox cover recent American Eagle Ad involving Sydney Sweeney's "jeans" that has the left in an up cry and the right in an uprooting applause. Also appearing to weigh in on this is former pastor Jason Farley , Teaching Pastor Virgil Walker, and mother of 7 (and Knox's wife) Sharron Shannon! With such a stacked roster of speakers, this turned out to be an informal conversation diving deeper into the implications of this supposedly racist ad.

We sit down with Joel Salatin to talk about what it means to eat, farm, and live as faithful stewards of God’s creation. We dig into why Christian-grown food is different, how biblical principles shape the way we care for the land, and why what you eat matters for your health, your family, and your faith. From practical tips for sourcing real food (even if you don’t have a farm) to raising kids who love work and worship, we get into the weeds of countercultural living, stewardship, and the connection between faith and food.

In our conversation, we share humorous anecdotes about health issues, particularly focusing on kidney stones and family health matters. We explore the challenges of communication within families during health crises, the importance of humor in coping with serious topics, and the joys and struggles of gardening as a family activity. Our discussion highlights the unexpected lessons learned from life's challenges and the value of maintaining a light-hearted perspective even in difficult situations. We also explore a variety of humorous topics ranging from hotel experiences and car accidents to the quirks of language and food. We share personal anecdotes, discuss the logic behind movie heists, and reflect on how humor evolves across generations. Our conversation touches on the peculiarities of spelling in the English language and the evolution of food terminology, particularly focusing on the concept of food edges and the idea of selling just the outer parts of popular foods.

Trump’s new religious liberty order isn’t just a policy shift—it’s a cultural permission slip. In this episode, the guys lay out why now is the most strategic time in a generation to start a business, plant a church, or build something that lasts. With 10,000 baby boomers retiring a day, and the Overton window swinging wide open, Christians have a window to reclaim territory our apathy gave away. We break down how to seize this moment without waiting for permission, what faithful entrepreneurship looks like in a post-COVID economy, and why the church must stop outsourcing courage. Don’t waste this presidency. Don’t wait for “someday.” The time to build is now. Fight Laugh Feast 2025 Conference (October 16-18, Nashville) - Register HERE: https://flfnetwork.com

BTW, Michael does NOT recommend the ministry of Voice of the Martyrs, which he helped to found many decades ago. He was fired from the ministry more than ten years ago, when he demanded a more broad inquiry into the travels and contacts of former VOM director, Tom White, who committed suicide in VOM’s Bartlesville, OK, warehouse in 2012, after allegations surfaced of him molesting a ten year old girl. (Read his “Open Letter” about VOM here: https://www.billionbibles.com/michael-wurmbrand-vom.html) Michael Wurmbrand also runs another ministry, Help For Refugees, focused primarily on his native Romania, and has made all of his father’s books (and formerly unpublished writings) available for free since VOM continues to use his parents’ likeness and writings without his permission. I personally support Wurmbrand’s Help for Refugees monthly and love getting their newsletter with previously unpublished reflections by Richard Wurmbrand included each month. Now, without further ado, let’s work through much of the following interview, which covers key events in Michael Wurmbrand’s very difficult childhood in communist Romania… Michael (aka, Mihai) Talks About His Childhood Suffering https://www.richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/pdfs/michael-wurmbrand-interview.pdf Follow China Compass Follow or subscribe to China Compass on whichever platform you use.

Economist, believer, and author multi-million dollar money manager, David Bahnsen, joins host Casey Harper to unpack the growing trend of debanking—where conservatives and religious Americans face account closures from major financial institutions. Drawing from high-profile cases like Sam Brownback’s, Bahnsen explains how pressure from government “reputational risk” lists and rogue actors inside corporations threaten financial liberty. He emphasizes the importance of transparency over regulation, arguing that market forces and public accountability are the best solutions. The conversation also turns to economic hopelessness among young men and how a return to Biblical principles—faith, hard work, marriage, and responsibility—can restore both personal purpose and national prosperity.

Take whatever sort of example in institutional culture. Maybe it's a culture of excellence, or continuous improvement, or disciplined execution. Maybe it's a culture of gratitude, or hard work, or competence. Whatever it is, why is it in the lifeblood of some institutions, and can't seem to get any traction in others?

The Value-Growth mindset is focused on the person for whom I'm providing value. In order for a business owner to be successful in his purpose of delivering value to a customer, he must care about that customer, and care about him as a customer - meaning, as a person who is the recipient of the value. What that means, is that although all businesses are in the game to deliver value to people in general, the value that businesses are to deliver is particular to their customer.

In this engaging conversation, we reflect on nostalgic memories of Willy Wonka, share humorous anecdotes about drain maintenance and household repairs, discuss the nuances of language, particularly the word 'tasty', and explore the concept of positive self-talk. We also touch on the challenges of finding sponsorship for our podcast and the humorous side of landscaping and weed management. In this lively conversation, we explore the quirky world of goats, discussing their potential as pets and farm animals, the concept of goat yoga, and the economics of goat farming. We delve into the humorous aspects of goat ownership, including the challenges and benefits. Our discussion then shifts to the idea of food preferences in heaven, the value of earthly items in the grand scheme of eternity, and a light-hearted exploration of wigs and the licorice plant. We wrap up the conversation with a curious look at banana wine and its unexpected pairings.

Trump just released an AI video showing Obama getting arrested, and it's not just trolling.

The guys break down Trump's immigration enforcement, Gavin Newsom's emotional manipulation, and the Democrats' selective Bible quoting. But here's the real question: What does Scripture actually say about strangers, sojourners, and national borders? Main content for today is the ICE raids and media "jamming" tactics, Hakeem Jeffries weaponizes Matthew 25, The "Dignity Bill" - compassion or compromise, why both parties cherry-pick Scripture, and Biblical framework for immigration policy. The bottom line is America has lost its moral center. The only way forward is through Christ and His Word - not Fox News, not CNN, but the Bible.

Chip and Joanna Gaines have featured a gay couple with children on their new reality show, sparking major pushback from Christians online. But the problem goes deeper than one TV show decision. In this episode, Gabe Toby and special guest Darren Doane break down: The controversial trailer and Christian response on social media , Chip's defensive tweets about "judging" and "modern American Christian culture", Megan Basham's explosive research revealing deeper connections to polyamory, why their pastor and church are the real problem behind this compromise, and the difference between biblical discernment and worldly "tolerance". They also talk about how this connects to broader issues in Christian celebrity culture, the importance of church discipline, and why soft, effeminate leadership in the church leads to cultural compromise.

Not all problems are created equal. When having to solve a problem, we must consider what sort of problem we're dealing with. On the scale of priorities, we weigh the consequences and rewards of not doing anything (that is, dragging out the problem) versus doing the wrong thing (that is, implementing a hasty solution). Sometimes letting the problem burn is the right thing. You can always make things worse. But other times, putting on a band-aid to give you the time to address the root issue could be right.
