Our two big China training events are complete, but I’m already back on the road in Macau. Today’s show (besides the intro/outro) is a mashup of a couple previous episodes about Macau, the Las Vegas of Asia, where I am ministering this weekend. After a brief Macau introduction, we remember Pastor Lucky and learn about his “unsolvable Chinese complex”, followed by the story of early pioneer missionaries Morrison & Milne, who served right here in Macau over 200 years ago. Finally, I share my “SARS Survival Story”, from the very first episode of this podcast. Welcome to the China Compass Podcast on the Fight Laugh Feast Network and the Christian Podcast Community!

Engaging With AI in Spiritual Matters Faith Debate: Sunday, September 13th, 2026 (09/20/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) How serious are deepfakes? Can AI provide true spiritual counsel, as people replace true shepherding for algorithmic comfort? If used for sermons will AI bring bad preaching? Does tech erode understanding that human thought/creativity/relationships are unique/valuable because humans bear God's image? What's the case for/against engaging AI? Is it faithful, or failure, to disengage? If saints don't interact with AI, do they forfeit opportunity to shape it? Will Christian absence interacting mean the training data will skew further from a biblical framework? Is there a responsibility to engage AI development, prompt AI tools with theological content, & work in AI industries as a vocational calling? Or would this normalize a tech whose long-term effects are maybe corrosive? If only secular materialists are shaping AI's values, will the church one day complain about the fruit of a tree it refused to tend? This is part 5 of a 5-part series. For the full uninterrupted discussion, go to Theology Throwdown (04-11-26) on the Christian Podcast Community. The Faith Debate is found at wfmd.com, ChristianPodcastCommunity.org, & most podcast platforms - including SermonAudio & Odysee. Videos are found at many of these places, & on Rumble). Find links for it all at householdoffaithinchrist.com.

AI Ethical Considerations Faith Debate: Sunday, September 6th, 2026 (09/13/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) People respond to AI with excitement/fear/everything between. Are the responses theologically sound, or driven by personality & culture? Some embrace "Artificial Intelligence" for productivity in sermon prep/evangelism/Bible study. Others are anxious over deception, loss of human connection, doctrinal dilution, & the erosion of pastoral care. Some treat AI as evidence the End Times are here. Is any of this based on Christian reasoning; or are saints importing secular anxieties/enthusiasms? Excitement/terror about AI can reveal more about a person's view of providence & human depravity than about AI itself. Are fears legit? Which concerns deserve weight? Which are technophobia dressed in piety? This episode is part 4 of a 5-part conversation (piggybacking on a 2-part AI discussion from earlier in 2026).

AI in Christian Thought Faith Debate: Sunday, August 30th, 2026 (09/06/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) What's "Artificial Intelligence"? Before we respond to AI, we must understand it refers to computational systems trained on massive datasets to recognize patterns, generate outputs, & simulate reasoning. It doesn't possess consciousness, a soul, or genuine understanding in a meaningful sense. Large Language Models are trained on human-generated text. They reflect/amplify whatever values/assumptions/worldviews that dominate training data. The distinction between narrow AI & general AI is critical for calibrating a response appropriately. AI is a human artifact, not a rival to humanity. It's a tool made by image-bearers, not an image-bearer itself, so calling it "intelligent" is a category error. Let's define terms carefully.

Navigating AI's Role in Faith Faith Debate: Sunday, August 23rd, 2026 (08/30/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) The Faith Debate digs into AI from a Christian vantage point. What is this technology at its root? Are fears about it due to faithful discernment, or cultural panic? If Christians disengage from "Artificial Intelligence", who fills the vacuum to train the machines, and shape the values baked into systems influencing billions of people? From the specter of end-times speculation to cultural withdrawal, can the church be let off the hook with easy answers? This isn't a conversation about gadgets, but rather about dominion, discipleship, and how the people of God can best show up where it counts. You're invited to listen, and then decide where you stand. This episode is part two of a five-part conversation (piggybacking on a two-part AI discussion from earlier in the year).

Theological Discourse on AI Faith Debate: Sunday, August 16th, 2026 (08/23/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) "Artificial Intelligence" has real consequences; should Christians build it, boycott it, or redeem it? A.I. is no longer a science fiction premise; it's sadly writing sermons, answering theological questions, and shaping the worldview of millions. In light of these realities, is the church largely having the wrong conversations about it? Some Christians marvel at the possibilities, while others sound an apocalyptic alarm. The Faith Debate now helps ask and answer the question that matters most: What is our responsibility before God in this moment?

After looking back at the most (and least) popular episodes from the past year or so, I share the story of almost dying when I lost my brakes (with five South African friends in tow) going down a 14,700 ft. mountain pass in Tibet. Then, we run through a few China stories that have been sitting on the backburner for awhile, followed by the final Pray for China of the year (Dec 29-Jan 4). Check out all the links/details below! Welcome to China Compass on the Fight Laugh Feast network (Christian Podcast Community)! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I share a new Chinese city or county to pray for every day. Send any questions or comments to chinacompass@privacyport.com. Everything else can be easily found at PrayGiveGo.us! Also, I’m now on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/c/chinacompass), which not only allows for donations, but also lets me sort podcast episodes into various collections, making it easier to find all the episodes on a certain topic or region, like Tibet, North Korea, or Hong Kong. Check out this past week’s bonus Christmas episode with my wife and daughter… Speaking of old episodes, I want to do a sort of Year-End Round Up of the episodes which received the most downloads (and which ones were listened to the least). And since I didn’t do this at the end of last year, I’ll also give the top and bottom three from 2024 (my first year): Top 3 Episodes from 2025: Dec 5: Doug Wilson Joins China Compass (2286) Sept 13: Charlie Kirk: “America Must Shape Up, or China Wins” (1745) Virtual Tie- Apr 20: Easter in a Chinese Church │"Ignorant Hillbilly" Vance Insults China's Peasants (1551) Virtual Tie- Aug 30: Are All Chinese Students Commies and Spies? (Deace Says Yea, I Say Nay) (1548) Bottom 3 Episodes from 2025: Jan 1: More Prostitutes or Pastors in China? / Near Death on New Year's (Prison Pulpit)(967) Feb 7: In the Face of a Secret Trial, What Will I Do? (Prison Pulpit)(952) July 24: Syrian Pastor/Family Massacred (They Shot Patients In Bed) (Prison Pulpit) (903) Top 3 Episodes from 2024: Aug 24: Tim Walz: China Asset? + Black Dragon River & Double Duck Mountain (1864) Aug 17: From Chinese Reality TV to NSA, Chatting with Brent in Moscow (ID) (1743) Sep 14: Millions of Unadoptable Babies + China's 3 Forbidden "Ts" (& Martyrs of Tianjin) (1680) Bottom 3 Episodes from 2024: 11-21: Wang Yi on God's Use of China's "Unrighteous Politics" (Prison Pulpit #5) (1077) 11-15: Wang Yi on God Raising Up and Deposing Dictators (Prison Pulpit #4) (1006) 12-5: Wang Yi's Pre-Arrest Family Newsletter (Prison Pulpit #7) (1005) Bonus: Top 3 States (TX, CA, VA + WA) & Nations (CA, UK, AU) (+ Bottom States (WY, RI, DE) (Obscure stats: Fiji, Vanuatu, Georgia, 100+ total, 16 in Africa, China=WY, Romania vs Bulgaria) 15 Years Ago This Week (Dec 29): Runaway Van in Tibet @ 14,000 Feet https://chinacall.substack.com/p/runaway-van-14700-feet Now Available on Amazon (+ free PDF): The Millionaire Missionary (BordenofYale.com) Borden’s Missed Opportunity? Borden had a very fruitful ministry both at Yale and Princeton during his tenure as a student, and it strikes me that student ministry in China may have been a better use of his talents than what had been planned for him among the unreached Muslims of NW China. But hindsight is 20/20, and Borden never made it back to China at all (besides his first tour as a teenager). Campus ministry in China has been very fruitful for the past 40+ years, but has become much more difficult recently. Here’s a new article from within China that explains the current situation: Chinese Campus Ministry Troubles https://chinapartnership.org/blog/2025/12/changchun-reaching-campus/ No Tibetan in Chinese Schools https://www.rfa.org/english/tibet/2025/01/02/tibet-china-enforces-restrictions-students/ Chinese Refugee Church Planters? https://chinapartnership.org/blog/2024/12/immigrant-church-in-southeast-asia/ Is China Still a Developing Country? https://www.voanews.com/a/is-china-still-a-developing-country/7244652.html Taiwan Survives Another New Year Celebration https://asiatimes.com/2025/01/note-from-taiwan-the-players-on-the-eve-of-destruction/ Finally, let's take a look at this coming week's Pray for China (PrayforChina.us) cities… Dec 29-Jan 4: https://chinacall.substack.com/p/pray-for-china-dec-29-jan-4-2025 Thank you for listening!

Borden had a very fruitful ministry both at Yale and Princeton during his tenure as a student, and it strikes me that student ministry in China may have been a better use of his talents than what had been planned for him among the unreached Muslims of NW China. But hindsight is 20/20, and Borden never made it back to China at all (besides his first tour as a teenager). Campus ministry in China has been very fruitful for the past 40+ years, but has become much more difficult recently.

Join me as I dive into Allie Beth Stuckey's interview with Lisa Bevere on her podcast Relatable. I dive into a critical discussion on whether the Beveres' teachings align with Biblical Christianity. Are Allie and Lisa's differences minor theological issues? Do Allie and Lisa agree on the principle of the Authority of Scripture? Is female preachers a tertiary issue? Can we and should we unite even if we disagree with other Christians on this issue? Are the Beveres Prosperity teachers? And many more questions are answered in this episode as we look at just how much the Beveres relate to Biblical Christianity. May this episode expose the false teaching entering the church and bring glory to God.

Spiritual Disciplines and this idea of "practicing the way" of Jesus is quickly becoming a large movement with in the Evangelical church today. How are these teachings entering the local churches and who are the Spiritual directors that are seen as the Masters of "spiritual" formation? What are some of the dangerous doctrines that these teachers believe that may lead undiscerning women to fall for an walk in? In this episode I had the honor of having Marcia Montenegro of Christian Answers for the New Age (https://www.christiananswersnewage.com/)on to help us get to know these so called Spiritual Masters. She goes into some of the problematic teachings they hold to and how mysticism directed the earlier "masters" and is now influencing today's modern "masters".May this episode expose the false teaching entering the church and bring glory to God.

Teachers of Spiritual Formation inform Christians that implementing certain disciplines will help know God, experience Him, and hear His voice. They teach that these practices will help us grow spiritually because we become more intimate with God through them; that by them we "restore" our relationship with God.But is this all true? Does Scripture teach that we need these disciplines to become intimate with God and do we grow spiritually by practicing them?And what might happen to a woman's faith in Christ and His word if she decides to trust that these will bring her to into a deeper relationship with God and "enjoy Jesus"?May this episode expose the false teaching entering the church and bring glory to God.

While "sensual" is often used in a sexual context, it is not exclusively sexual in meaning. Sensual has to do with the 5 senses, and means "physically pleasing". Messages within women's ministry has become more and more sensual to spark the emotions of women. Feeling loved is more important than knowing truth. And Ann Voskamp's message at the IF:Gathering 2020 conference was a perfect example of making use of the eyes, ears, and emotions to concoct a message meant to entice the senses and tickle the ears.But how did Ann Voskamp handle Romans 8:32 in her message?May this episode expose the false teaching entering the church and bring glory to God.

Scripture often talks about the great hope a Christian has when they put their faith in Jesus Christ. Paul, in Romans 8:18-30, reminds us of this great hope to encourage us during times of suffering and weakness. At the IF:Gathering 2020 conference, Ruth Chou-Simons gave a message on Romans 8: 24-28 to talk about our hope as well. But did she urge us to hope in the same thing Paul encouraged the Roman Christians to hope in? Did Ruth Chou-Simons handle this text correctly?

This is an updated episode from season 2.To acquire racial righteousness, Latasha Morrison has given white people a guide to train them to decenter their whiteness and divest themselves of the original sin of white supremacy that all white people inherited.

I had the honor of sitting down with the one and only Andrew Rappaport, the Executive Director of Striving for Eternity Ministries and the Christian Podcast Community. I first learned about him through Ray Comfort and his street preaching ministry. Here's a little backstory: when I first met Andrew at the conference, he had a full beard, and I didn't immediately recognize him. He simply introduced himself as “Andrew,” and we spoke for almost twenty minutes before I realized who he actually was. The weekend turned out to be incredible. I spent a lot of time with Andrew, and we developed a solid friendship. It's amazing how naturally camaraderie flows when you meet a brother who genuinely loves King Jesus. I pray this conversation encourages you throughout the week.

This is an updated episode from season 2.For several years Christians have wrestling with what it means to racially reconcile within the Church. On of the most popular teachings that has spread within the church to resolve this issue has been what is called Antiracism. Be the Bridge has been one of the more popular parachurch ministries educating the church on racial reconciliation by training disciples to be Antiracist and become "color brave" instead of color blind. But what is Antiracism and what does it mean to become Antiracist? What does it mean to become "color brave"? What are these antiracist foundational teachings that Be the Bridge trains its disciples in? What Scriptural teachings do they use to support being antiracist? Are they using those teachings correctly or twisting it to fit their goal? And should Christian women imbibe them?May this episode bring Christian women to understand the false teaching of Antiracism that is entering the church and bring glory to God.
