Join Pastor Jack King and his old friend, Pastor Henry Miller, as they discuss the relentless pace of ministry, singing, and mission work. Brother Henry, who Pastor King has affectionately designated as a "Kentucky hillbilly" due to his mission work in the Appalachian Mountains, is a man with much going on. They talk about the importance of being active in serving God, whether through feeding people in the cold on Veterans Day or nurturing a new mission field from the ground up. Henry Miller shares his calling to open the Panacea Mission, an eight-year journey built on "baby steps" to teach people who are new to the Bible, proving that when God is in it, He provides everything—from the building to the chairs and the sound system. Key Discussion Points: -- The continuing work of the Appalachian Mountain Ministries in Kentucky, providing food, clothes, hygiene items, and the Gospel. -- The extensive local mission efforts run by Pastor Miller in Hossford, Southside, East Point, and Panacea. -- The testimony of starting the Panacea Mission after receiving a direct, life-changing word from the Lord: "You missed me one time. Don't miss me again." -- The critical need for mentorship and training up younger leaders, like the young lady Dawn, to help carry the burden of ministry as time moves on. -- The collaborative and selfless spirit of gospel music, highlighting the ministry of songwriter Joyce Igoe and the importance of working together in God's kingdom.

Facing the Future: Practical Steps for Financial and Spiritual Survival In this timely message titled "God's Surreal Plan," Pastor Jack King addresses the current anxieties surrounding politics, the economy, and potential persecution, redirecting the focus to an actionable "God's Survival Plan." Drawing on the lessons learned from the challenges of the Carter administration and his own family's journey out of crippling debt, Pastor King emphasizes that survival is not about hoping for a windfall or an external fix, but about taking personal control and trusting God. He provides key wisdom on financial management and overcoming debt: -- The trap of debt: Entering the world of debt is a slippery slope, where credit card interest can quickly enslave you, making it impossible to pay off the principal with minimum payments. -- Stopping the bleeding: The very first step in overcoming financial struggle is understanding your deficit (how much you fall short each month) and immediately working to stop it. -- The formula for change: You must commit to one of two options: spend less or make more. Doing both is even better. -- The debt snowball principle: Tackle your smallest debt first. Once it's paid off, apply that freed-up payment amount to the next smallest debt, building momentum until you are completely debt-free. -- Personal control is key: You must know exactly how much you are making and how much you are spending. Pastor King recommends zeroing out your ledger every two weeks to stay on top of expenses and income. -- There's always a way: When a financial crunch hits, resist the urge to borrow money; commit to finding an alternative solution because "there's always a way."

Discerning the Seasons: Living Prepared for Christ's Return Pastor Jack King opens the Word to Ecclesiastes chapter 3 to address the concept of "Times and Seasons," arguing that this ancient scripture is profoundly relevant to the current day and age. He shares humorous and serious reflections on how the world changes—from fashion fads to the political threats of communism—and questions whether newer generations will maintain the same love for freedom and country. Pastor King then transitions to the spiritual season, urging believers to be ready for the end of the church age and the return of the Lord. Key takeaways from this message include: -- The world is defined by changing times and seasons, from historical eras to current political and technological shifts. -- Current political and economic appeals can be a "spirit of control," designed to buy votes with promises of "free" resources, often without common-sense regard for consequences. -- The economic and technological acceleration (like Artificial Intelligence) is moving the world toward the economic system described in the Bible as connected to the Antichrist. -- God knows and controls the timing; the age of the church will end when Jesus returns. -- Believers are called to be "first fruits"—serious about serving God, with their "lamps trimmed and burning," looking for Christ's imminent return. -- Understanding the book of Revelation and the doctrine of the Rapture (pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, or post-tribulation) is essential for those who want to be prepared.

Join Pastor Jack King for a "Catching Up" episode where he speaks directly to his listeners about current events through a spiritual lens. Pastor King begins by reflecting on the recent tragedy of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. He expresses his grief for Kirk's family and his deep admiration for Kirk's widow, Erica, whose public act of forgiving the shooter perfectly exemplified Christianity as Christ taught it. This moving example leads Pastor King to discuss the power of forgiveness and the call to pray for Erica as she continues the work of Turning Point International. The pastor then transitions to national issues, first picking up on the topic of the government's efforts to combat crime in major cities: -- Pastor King argues that sending in troops and the FBI is not a temporary solution because the strategy is to find and root out the ringleaders who are the source of the criminal element, not just patrol the streets. -- He uses an analogy from his time in the pest control business, stating that you must find the "nesting" place of the roaches to truly eliminate the problem. -- He encourages the belief that change is possible, cautioning against the common resignation that a neighborhood can never be different. Pastor King reminds the listeners that the Church has a mighty role and a powerful tool: prayer, which prevails and accomplishes much. He concludes with a brief, insightful overview of the government shutdown's root cause, linking it back to a flawed policy regarding illegals, and shares an anecdote about a state park closure that illustrated the shutdown's inconvenience. ******* This is the radio program with the music removed.

But more than just a history lesson, he ties the act of working to our identity as Christians, highlighting the dignity and value God places on honest labor. Main Points: -- Labor is a Christian principle - Work is an essential part of the Christian life, as it allows us to provide for our families and contribute to the church's mission. -- Love your work - A "master at your craft" who loves what they do "will never work a day in [their] life," finding a blessing in their daily tasks. -- The historical fight for fair labor - Pastor King gives a brief history of the labor movement, detailing the conflict between factory owners and workers that eventually led to the formation of unions and the establishment of Labor Day as a national holiday. -- Work as a blessing from God - Having the health and ability to work is a gift from God. -- The Proverbs on work - The book of Proverbs warns against laziness and idleness, linking diligence with prosperity and slumber with poverty.

A Time for Pushback In a world where societal norms are constantly shifting, Pastor Jack King observes a new era of cultural pushback. Pastor Jack King opens by sharing a personal anecdote about injuring himself while installing new glass doors at his church. He notes the irony of his body reminding him that "the times have caught up with" him, a perfect lead-in to his main theme. He then recounts hearing a statement from a public figure that he feels compelled to address, namely, the assertion that doing good work might be one's "ticket to heaven." Pastor King strongly refutes this idea, clarifying that: -- Salvation is not earned through good works but is a gift received through faith in Jesus Christ. He explains that while good works are commendable, they cannot pay the price for sin. -- The only way to heaven is through the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the cross. He stresses that we must confess our sins and ask Jesus to represent us before God. He refers to Jesus as the "mighty Lion of the tribe of Judah," our counsel, who pleads our case before the heavenly court. Pastor King then discusses the cultural shifts he's witnessed, particularly as a "child of the 60s." He reflects on how societal and media influences have, over time, promoted agendas that he believes are contrary to a Christian worldview, leading many to feel like "oddballs" if they spoke out. He suggests that we are now seeing a "pushback" against this trend, a time when people are becoming bolder in speaking their minds and standing firm in their convictions. He emphasizes that this stance should always be rooted in love for one another, regardless of differences.

The Ripple Effect of a Life Changed by Christ Dave McGahan's life was a testament to the powerful, rippling impact of a single life-altering decision. In this moving re-aired interview, Pastor Jack King, Dave's son-in-law, honors his recent passing by sharing the incredible story of his life and faith journey. Dave, a Pensacola native, grew up with a father who was Catholic and a mother who was Baptist, eventually drifting from the church despite early exposure to ministries like the Waterfront Rescue Mission. He describes a life filled with "worldly things," including a stint in the Army's 82nd Airborne where he jumped out of "perfectly good airplanes" for an extra $55 a month. He then settled into a career in construction and cabinet making, all while navigating the complexities of family life. Dave's testimony reveals a man dedicated to his children, despite the challenges of divorce. As a single father, he worked tirelessly to support his two daughters, making sure he was a consistent presence in their lives. His life, however, was heading for a spiritual collision. After his father's death and a personal family crisis surrounding the birth of his daughter, Tina, Dave felt a deep sense of powerlessness and a lack of spiritual grounding. It was a crisis that led him to pray for the first time in years. In this interview, you will hear a story of a life transformed and a family line changed forever. -- Dave grew up on Pensacola's "T Street," a neighborhood where multiple families shared a single well for water. -- As a young man, he was involved in the early days of the Waterfront Rescue Mission, which was founded by the Christian Missionary Alliance. -- Dave served in the Army's 82nd Airborne, making 13 jumps as a paratrooper for the extra monthly pay. -- Despite a challenging personal life, he remained a dedicated father, working hard to provide for his children. -- A series of family crises, including the death of his father and the life-threatening birth of his daughter, led him to seek God in a way he never had before.

In this message, Pastor King shares personal stories and biblical insights to guide us toward a deeper understanding of what it truly means to follow Christ. He reflects on how church life has changed over the years, from the music we sing to the way we worship, and emphasizes that while forms may change, the foundational truths of the gospel remain the same. In this teaching, you will discover: -- The importance of humility, which is not about having a low self-image but about prioritizing God and others over ourselves. -- The power of forgiveness, a central message of Christ's ministry and a core practice for every believer. -- The need to live out our faith in a way that honors God, even when it means going against cultural norms or personal desires. -- The biblical basis of the church, launched by Jesus and founded on Peter's confession that He is the Christ, the Son of the living God. -- The importance of repentance, the powerful message preached by John the Baptist, which prepares the heart for Christ's message of grace.

He then shifts focus to his church, Freedom Road Christian Ministry (formerly First Church of the Open Bible), and their recent move to a new 7,000-square-foot facility at 4141 Appalachee Parkway. Recognizing shifts in church attendance post-COVID, Pastor King is seeking community input on how to best serve Tallahassee. He invites listeners to text him with suggestions for ministry needs, asking: -- How can Freedom Road Christian Ministry most effectively reach the community? -- What specific needs does the community have that the church can address (e.g., counseling for divorce, family-oriented ministries)? Pastor King also shares an intriguing story about a 15-year, highly classified military operation, "Operation Midnight Hammer," initiated under President Donald J. Trump, which successfully obliterated Iran's nuclear capabilities. He explains the process of uranium enrichment and the development of the GBU-57 "bunker buster" weapon specifically designed to penetrate and destroy Iran's deeply buried nuclear sites. The operation culminated in a ceasefire agreement after a 12-day war between Iran and Israel, following Israel's initial actions to neutralize Iran's air defense systems.

"When God moves, the mountains step aside." --Pastor Jack King In this encouraging episode of "The Gospel on the Radio Talk Show," Pastor Jack King takes a break from interviewing guests to share a message directly from his heart, inspired by a song that has deeply ministered to him through recent personal and ministry challenges. The song, "When God Moves" by the Troy Burns Family, has become an anthem for him during the complex process of relocating Freedom Road Christian Ministry and its radio studio. Pastor King transparently discusses the technical glitches and demanding workload that come with such a massive undertaking, admitting that even seasoned ministers face their share of "bugs" and frustrations. Yet, amidst these "mountains," he finds strength and a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness. Drawing on the song's lyrics and the imagery of the mustard seed, Pastor King delves into what happens "When God Moves." He emphasizes that God responds to faith—even faith as small as a mustard seed. This "mustard seed theology," as he calls it, isn't about the size of your faith, but about exercising whatever faith you have. By consistently applying your faith, you grow stronger, developing a spiritual command that can speak to literal "mountains" in your life and see them step aside. This teaching serves as a powerful encouragement for anyone facing daunting obstacles. It's a reminder that God's power is limitless, and His intervention can transform seemingly insurmountable challenges. Pastor King invites listeners to reflect on the times God has moved in their own lives and to recognize that their persistent faith is the key to unlocking His miraculous power.

In this heartfelt episode of "The Gospel on the Radio Talk Show," Pastor Jack King, your host for over two decades, shares a powerful observation: a profound spiritual hunger is awakening, particularly among younger generations. Many are "finding the church" and seeking a genuine relationship with God after years of indifference or distance. Pastor King transparently opens up about his own spiritual journey, from a childhood steeped in church to a pivotal time at age 14 when he began to question his beliefs and solidify his personal commitment to Christ. He candidly shares how this led to foundational life decisions, including a commitment to faithfulness before marriage, a story he elaborates on in his book, Dreams and Visions and Stories of Faith. He then breaks down the spiritual awakening process into three key stages: Wondering: A period of contemplation where individuals, perhaps previously indifferent or even rejecting God, begin to open their minds to spiritual possibilities due to life circumstances or divine nudges. Seeking: Moving beyond mere wondering, this stage involves a conscious decision to actively pursue God, much like Pastor King's own experience crying out to God under a stairwell at Bible college. Embracing the Holy Spirit: The crucial next step, where a seeker discovers the personal, intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit—the part of the Godhead that connects directly with our hearts, translates our groans, and delivers God's message back to us. Pastor King emphasizes that this relationship cleanses and convicts, leading to deeper spiritual growth. Throughout the episode, Pastor King underscores that the Christian walk is a continuous, often challenging, but ultimately joyful journey. He offers a warm invitation to Freedom Road Christian Ministry, a growing church with a new facility on Apalachee Parkway, where he hopes to mentor and influence those on their own seeking journey.
