Welcome to this special episode of the China Compass Podcast, #31 in the weekly “Prison Pulpit” series! 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). To learn more about our ministry endeavors or get one of the missionary biographies I’ve published, visit www.PrayGiveGo.us! I want to begin again by reminding you why I started this weekly China Compass series: to encourage you to pray for Pastor Wang Yi (and others like him) as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us, by sharing from his own words and sermons. (We’ve also learned a lot from Richard Wurmbrand.) This month is the anniversary of my arrest and interrogation seven years ago…UNBEATEN.VIP! I recorded last week's episode in Malaysia, discussing the difficult and potentially dangerous situation for Christians in Malaysia. Today (tonight) I’m on a long layover in Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman, SE of Dubai, and just across the Sea of Oman south of Iran.

Others come to see the mummies, study history, or join the crowds of tourists flocking to the pyramids, never once lifting their eyes to see the fields “ripe for harvest” (John 4:35). Borden had not even been in Cairo two weeks before he mobilized the seminary students to attempt a door to door outreach, hoping to give away Christian literature to the whole city of nearly a million people. Here was a man built like an athlete, with the mind of a scholar and theologian in regard to God’s truth, and the heart of a little child, full of faith and love. He was so kind in his visits to our own home that our children would bounce upon his knee as if they had known him for years. Knowing that he would have to learn Chinese eventually, he came to Cairo to become fluent in Arabic first. Here was a young man who deliberately set out to learn not one but two of the most difficult languages in the world, before diving into his life’s calling of declaring the unsearchable riches of Christ to China’s Muslims.

One of Jane's most striking points in her book and our conversation is that cults aren't just something “other people” get involved in. Cults can deceptively recruit anyone and work in many different spheres of influence. “I just started pulling the thread,” Jane recalled, “and traced it back to the Puritans.” She explains how the theological worldview of early American settlers, particularly the Puritans, established a pattern of black-and-white/good-versus-evil thinking. The Puritans believed in things like divine judgment, righteous punishment, and the idea that only a few could be saved while the rest would suffer in the apocalypse. This religious idea was an organizing principle for our society and prevails today. For instance, the idea of an existential threat or ultimate salvation has bled into common culture. Whether it's climate doomism, political collapse, or even the rapture, American society is addicted to “the end is near” thinking. It is everywhere, embedded into our popular culture. Cultic control today has many faces: multilevel marketing schemes (MLMs), political cults, religious cults, therapy cults, “wellness” gurus, and even one-on-one abusive dynamics. These groups reflect and exploit the very same psychological patterns found in traditional cults—fear, isolation, obedience, and identity manipulation. And there are many cults in the Cult of Trump.

Was she a cold-blooded killer… or a woman condemned by bias, scandal, and suspicion? In this gripping episode of Truth Be Told, host Tony Sweet revisits one of America's most chilling and unsolved murder mysteries—the brutal 1892 axe murders of Andrew and Abby Borden. With a nation shocked and a media frenzy in full swing, all eyes turned to the most unlikely suspect: their daughter, Lizzie. Step inside the Borden household as we unravel the twisted family dynamics, sift through the circumstantial evidence, revisit the sensational trial, and explore alternate theories that still divide historians today. Was Lizzie Borden truly guilty, or was she the perfect scapegoat in a society unprepared to see women as capable of violence? Tune in for this deep dive into the facts, the folklore, and the unanswered questions behind the rhyme that haunts us all:“Lizzie Borden took an axe…”

Maddie and Colleen join Caitlin to cover 2018's Lizzie. We talk about the Lizzie Borden case, including the sexism, classism, and racism that played into the trial and its suspects, and we discuss the merits of the movie itself.

Tangents include: roller derby, magma, A24, horror books, temperatures, music, haunted locations, and a FMK for lesbian movies.
This is a Seth’s Picks episode, the very highly regarded, though not much honored at the time Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. It’s like Ready Player One, but without all the references or terrible writing. (It’s not really like RPO at all, and that’s a very good thing.) This is one of my shorter episodes, … Continue reading "Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson, with guest Leah Borden"
This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Lizzie Borden took an axe… or did she? Most people think they know the story—two brutal murders, a sensational trial, and a spooky bed and breakfast with a few mischievous spirits. But what if the real horror didn't start or end with Lizzie? In this classic episode of The Grave Talks, we peel back the sanitized legend and dive into something far more sinister: a dark entity that may have plagued the Borden family for generations. Author and paranormal expert Sam Baltrusis shares his firsthand experiences inside the infamous Borden home, detailing encounters with forces that seem far too intelligent—and far too evil—to be simple residual hauntings. If you've seen the Discovery+ documentary, buckle up. We're going one step deeper. This is Part Two of our conversation.

Bennett Borden, founder and CEO of Clarion AI Partners, sits down with Kaylee and Mary to share his journey from the CIA to law school and BigLaw eDiscovery, to his decision to refresh his data skills at NYU. Bennett explained why he founded Clarion AI Partners, and how Clarion AI Partners not only advises on the legal aspects of AI, but also builds new systems and validates existing AI systems, with a structured approach to include safety and effectiveness, along with regulatory and ethical requirements. He explained their mission of including AI for Good, exploiting not only the promise of AI, but also addressing the risks and harms it can cause in a quantifiable way by use case. We ended with Bennett's fun fact with a promise to keep talking.

In this thought-provoking episode of Reasonably Happy, Paul Ollinger sits down with journalist and author Jane Borden to unpack her explosive new book Cults Like Us: Why Doomsday Thinking Drives America. Together, they explore how apocalyptic beliefs, religious extremism, and cult-like behaviors have shaped American identity—from Puritan roots to modern political movements like MAGA. Jane reveals how tribal psychology, anti-intellectualism, and the prosperity gospel fuel division, and why both the far right and far left are vulnerable to cultish thinking. With dark humor, candid insights, and a deep dive into American history, this episode is a must-watch for anyone curious about religion, politics, and the future of democracy.

The Haunted Lizzie Borden HouseThis week, we dive into the infamous Lizzie Borden case and the alleged hauntings that followed.We explore the brutal 1892 murders of Andrew and Abby Borden in Fall River, Massachusetts, examining the tensions within the household—from Lizzie's resentment toward her stepmother to Andrew's frugal lifestyle despite his wealth.We discuss the crime scene details, potential suspects, and the interesting fact that despite the gruesome nature of the ax murders,Lizzie was acquitted without authorities even checking her for blood evidence. We also explore the paranormal activity reported at the Lizzie Borden house, which now serves as a museum and bed & breakfast for brave visitors.Guests have reported seeing an older woman making beds, hearing crying through the walls, witnessing shadow figures on the stairs, and experiencing other unsettling phenomena. We share several firsthand accounts from people who stayed overnight, including "ghost moms" who set up paranormal equipment and experienced unusual activity in the attic room.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

In Part 2 of The True Tale of Lizzie Borden, we step into the courtroom for one of America's earliest media frenzies—the infamous trial of Lizzie Borden. After the shocking 1892 axe murders of Andrew and Abby Borden, suspicion turned toward Andrew's 32-year-old daughter, Lizzie. The brutal nature of the crime and the unexpected suspect captivated the nation. In Part 1, we explored the tense dynamics within the Borden household and followed the investigation that led to Lizzie's arrest. Now, in this episode, we dive into the high-profile trial that gripped the country. Reporters packed the courthouse, headlines blared every development, and the public couldn't get enough. And at the center of it all stood Lizzie Borden—facing a charge of capital murder and fighting for her life. Join me as we unpack the courtroom drama, the legal strategies, and the surprising twists in one of the most sensational murder trials in American history.

Welcome to China Compass on the Fight Laugh Feast Network! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I post daily reminders to pray for China (PrayforChina.us). Check out all of the other things we are involved in @ PrayGiveGo.us. I begin by recommending a relatively unknown ministry (richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/) that I respect and support (0:44). Then we talk about the pros and cons of deporting all Chinese students in the US (9:33). Next, I talk about how I learned Mandarin (21:08), beginning 22 years ago this week, followed by an overview of the unique Chinese places to pray for this week (34:36). Finally, I tell a few more stories, beginning with the fun (also 22 years ago this week) of being surrounded by police in Shunde (43:01). We end with a couple of letters from William Borden (BordenofYale.com) dating back 120 and 112 years, respectively, as he shares (51:20) about the heathenism he witnessed and why he dressed like an Arab in Cairo.

Follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I post daily reminders to pray for China (PrayforChina.us). Check out all of the other things we are involved in @ PrayGiveGo.us. I begin by recommending a relatively unknown ministry (richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/) that I respect and support (0:44). Then we talk about the pros and cons of deporting all Chinese students in the US (9:33). Next, I talk about how I learned Mandarin (21:08), beginning 22 years ago this week, followed by an overview of the unique Chinese places to pray for this week (34:36). Finally, I tell a few more stories, beginning with the fun (also 22 years ago this week) of being surrounded by police in Shunde (43:01). We end with a couple of letters from William Borden (BordenofYale.com) dating back 120 and 112 years, respectively, as he shares (51:20) about the heathenism he witnessed and why he dressed like an Arab in Cairo.

Welcome to this New Year's mashup edition of China Compass and the Prison Pulpit! Nearly every week, I mention the Appendix to my little book, Unbeaten, which details my arrest, interrogation, and deportation from China in 2018. This appendix, entitled Remember My Chains, is the written version of a message I’ve given all over the world about how to pray for the persecuted church. You can get my book and the sermon, Remember My Chains, at Unbeaten.vip, or read it for free on Substack where it was just posted yesterday: https://chinacall.substack.com/p/remember-my-chains The following notes follow the basic flow of today's podcast... Borden of Yale: The Millionaire Missionary BordenofYale.com William Borden’s plea for more missionaries to serve in China: Beginning in September, he managed to visit at least thirty colleges and seminaries before sailing for Egypt in December. Spending one to three days in each place gave opportunities for private conversations as well as meetings. On many occasions, with the background of his experience at sea he would ask, “Are you steering or drifting?” ... Often Borden would meet one to whom it seemed too high, with another question: “Are you willing to be made willing?” “If ten men are carrying a log…nine of them on the little end and one at the heavy end, and you want to help, which end will you lift on?” .... In proportion to the population at the time, there were five hundred times as many ministers of the gospel in the United States as there were ordained missionaries in China. Wang Yi on the need for more evangelistic, church planting pastors in China: "Our churches are becoming crowded with middle class professionals. The gospel needs to enter the city more deeply. It must enter the drains, enter in with the petitioners and the marginalized peoples. If your church still has no pastors; if there are no pastors in your city, your community, or even your street; if your company has a GM but there is no pastor there; if the university you work for has a Party committee secretary but there is no pastor, then I must ask: do you know the average ratio of prostitutes to pastors in China? Do you know the ratio of thieves to pastors, of corrupt officials to pastors?" Wang Yi’s New Year’s (Twenty Year) Resolutions...

Finally, I turn to the province of the week, Guizhou, (40:32) and a couple of moving stories (45:16) of missionaries and martyrs. Wanna Teach in China? (bfwesten at gmail dot com) “I'm the only foreign English teacher in my university and the first one here since 2019! I've been teaching Spoken English to English majors in the College of Languages and Literature, which gives more opportunity to talk with students. I've been asked to teach Public Speaking and Debate next semester, so that should be fun and provide opportunities for good conversations. I've heard the university is hoping to increase the number foreign teachers in 2025 to about 10.. I'm wondering if you might have any brothers/sisters who are interested in spending some time in China.
