In this powerful interview, Keith Nester sits down with Garrett Hines, a former Evangelical missionary whose journey led him into the heart of the Catholic Church — and into the ancient, sacred art of iconography. Garrett shares: What first challenged his Evangelical theology How Church history and sacramental theology reshaped his faith Why iconography became central to his conversion The spiritual depth behind Catholic sacred art This is more than a conversion story — it's a testimony of truth, beauty, and coming home.

Is there a spirit behind your problems that you aren't discerning? Sabotage is a spirit that works undercover. It works to make you the victim and perpetrator. Where you are unknowingly causing the very problem you are a victim to. God is a good God. It is His nature to give, so if there is good being withheld from you, ask God what you are doing to sabotage it and how you can defeat the spirit of sabotage.

Mindy and Nathan Heimer share how a passion for paddle boarding, their love for God, and deep care for their community have come together to form a beautiful ecosystem—one where God's mission is growing and their business is blossoming.In this episode, we explore what it looks like when vocation, faith, and everyday life intersect, and how paying attention to what you already love can open unexpected doors for mission.
In this conversation, we slow down and bring clarity to business as mission, exploring how faith, work, and mission can function together as a holistic calling. Matt shares insights for those discerning this path and for churches learning how to walk thoughtfully with those they send. [et_social_share]
A single question on a crowded lunch line can change a life. Matthew Karchner grew up steeped in church and Scripture, yet carried a secret that shaped his choices, hardened his heart, and led him into a “counterfeit freedom” that never delivered the peace it promised. From hidden shame to late‑night calls and alcohol‑fueled bravado, his world looked bold on the outside and empty on the inside—until an evangelist at a McDonald's asked, “If you died today, where would you go?” Hear how that encounter changed the trajectory of Matthew's faith, purpose and life, where he is the one proclaiming, "I've decided to follow Jesus; no turning back." And how a bold stand for faith changed even his profession to missionary pastor in Cambodia.While Matthew found a new identity in Christ, he sheds light on the false identity lie often found with homosexuality.You'll never see strangers the same way again, and you might be convicted to share the love of Jesus with them after listening to today's One80.

We are all a product of what has been blessed and cursed in our family lines. In Exodus 20:5-6 it says, the blessing of those who love God goes for a thousand generations, but the iniquity of the fathers goes to the children of the third and the fourth generations. The good news is you don't have to continue to live under the curse of past generations. The blood of Jesus has given each of us a choice. We can either passively continue living under the curse or break the power of the curse with the authority we have been given. Your choice will set the course for the next generations.

Back in November, Aaron and Willi sat down with Kevin, a missionary serving the Swiss people. Kevin shares about his life as a single missionary in his 50s and reflects on the unique opportunities that singleness can provide. About 80% of his time is spent ministering in Swiss churches, while the remaining 20% is devoted to traveling around the world—meeting fascinating people and encouraging brothers and sisters in Christ across different countries. It was during one of these trips, nearly two years ago in Hawaii, that he first met Willi.Kevin visited us in Germany to serve as a guest speaker, where he spoke about living wholeheartedly for the Lord in every season of life—especially as someone who is not yet married. In this episode, we revisit that theme while also discussing his many years of ministry, along with the experiences and observations he has gained along the way.

Daniel 3: 1 - 18
Missionary, Michael Kanai preaching verse by verse through Isaiah 6.
Great callings come with great passion. It was Jesus' compassion for the people that caused Him to do miracles. And the reality of heaven and hell should stir us to do something to reach the lost. We tend to suppress passion because we don't think God likes extremes, but truly He wants us either hot or cold, all the way in or all the way out, never lukewarm. It is the passionate, those who are on fire, who get things done for the kingdom of God.

It's New Year's Eve, Wednesday, December 31st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Ugandan Muslims killed Christian evangelist Muslim extremists killed a Christian evangelist in Uganda earlier this month. Konkona Kasimu was a convert from Islam. He participated in multiple Christian-Muslim dialogues across Uganda. Several Muslims turned to Christ during one of these events on December 12. However, angry Muslims ambushed Kasimu that evening. He later died from the injuries he sustained during the attack. A local pastor told Morning Star News, “Kasimu was killed because of advancing the Kingdom of God. We have lost a great man who was well-versed in both the Quran and the Bible and used that knowledge to witness for Christ to many people.” Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame [the Devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” Evangelicalism on rise in Catholic Spain Evangelicalism continues to grow in the historically Catholic country of Spain. Evangelical Focus reports that Christianity is the most deeply rooted among minority religions in the country. There are 4,700 evangelical places of worship in Spain this year. That's up from 3,700 places of worship ten years ago. At the same time, secularization is advancing. Over 40% of the population say they do not identify with any religion. 400 sex-selective abortions in United Kingdom Life News reports that new data from the United Kingdom government suggests at least 400 sex-selective abortions have taken place in the country. The government says killing unborn babies on the basis of their sex is illegal. However, the U.K.'s largest abortion provider is telling women that sex-selective abortion is not illegal. Catherine Robinson with Right to Life UK noted, “This report is very likely to underestimate the number of sex-selective abortions in the UK. The true scale of sex-selective abortions in the UK, is in all likelihood, far higher than the figures suggest.” America blew up Venezuelan port loading boat with narcotics U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday that the U.S. carried out a strike on a port facility in Venezuela. He said the facility was being used to load boats with narcotics. If confirmed, this would be the first land-based attack by the U.S. in Venezuela. CNN and the New York Times report that the CIA carried out the attack with a drone strike. Rising church attendance among Millennials and Gen Z Evangelist Franklin Graham spoke to Fox News about rising church attendance among younger generations. Data shows that Millennials and Gen Z lead monthly church attendance compared to other generations. Listen to comments from Graham. GRAHAM: “I think Gen Z and Millennials have been fed the lie of socialism. And socialism is basically anti-God. They've been turned off, I think, by this, and they're asking themselves, ‘There's got to be something more.' Yes, they're going to church, but Bible sales are up. So, they're buying Bibles. They're reading for themselves.” Kentucky restored Ten Commandments monument at Capitol Kentucky restored a permanent monument of the Ten Commandments to the state Capitol grounds earlier this month. The monument was put up in 1971. It was moved for construction in the 1980s. The legislature passed a resolution to restore it in 2000. However, a federal appeals court order kept the monument from being displayed until recently. First Liberty was involved in the legal case to restore the monument. Roger Byron, Senior Counsel for First Liberty, said, “We congratulate the people of Kentucky for restoring a part of their history. There is a long tradition of public monuments, like this one, that recognize the unique and important role the Ten Commandments have played in state and national history.” Lutheran Bible Translators delivered new Bible to Ghana tribe And finally, the Komba people of Ghana received their complete Bible last month after years of translation work. Missionary work among the Komba began in the 1950s. In 2005, Lutheran Bible Translators began to translate the New Testament which was completed in 2014. The Old Testament translation began in 2015. Now, they have the entire Bible. One of the translators said, “Reading the Bible has become part of my people. They are reading it day in and day out, and they have taken it upon themselves to do so. They have learned to read, and now they can go out and preach because they can read the Bible, something they were unable to do in the past.” Romans 10:15 says, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, December 31st, in the year of our Lord 2025.

After a few minutes to talk about The Millionaire Missionary's Last Christmas, my wife and youngest daughter join me to (mostly) talk about Christmas overseas, but also hit the following topics (and more)... Eating Chinese fish (or not) Internet Cafes on Christmas Eve Chinese Christian Christmas Talent Show Christmases long ago, including our first in China I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Follow me on Twitter/X (@chinaadventures) where I present a new Chinese city or county to pray for every day. Also, I’m now set up 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.

Now Available on Amazon (+ free PDF): The Millionaire Missionary (BordenofYale.com) The Millionaire Missionary's Last Christmas The Millionaire Missionary, William Borden, of all people(!) could have stayed home an extra week to be with his family (his mother!) for Christmas. But he boarded his ship in New York on December 17th, determined to land in Egypt by New Year’s Day to begin his life overseas. https://chinacall.substack.com/p/a-mothers-final-farewell-part-i https://chinacall.substack.com/p/mothers-final-farewell-part-ii Kevin Belmonte’s biography of William Borden, Beacon-Light, which mostly borrows from early Borden biographies by close friends, as well as Mary Taylor’s Borden of Yale (the unabridged version of The Millionaire Missionary), provides a few more details from the trip (pgs 227-230). Christmas for Missionaries https://mailchi.mp/radiusinternational/was-the-great-commission-only-for-the-original-apostles-9217919?e=baba53761c As an adult, I’ve spent far more Christmases overseas than at home. Looking back, there is some sadness in what I missed, especially with loved ones who have since passed away. But there are no true regrets. And there are many happy memories, especially when God provided for loved ones to visit us and spend Christmas (or Thanksgiving) with us on the mission field! Thank you for listening!

Also, I've finally set up Patreon, but my favorite thing isn't the (potential) support. There’s also a Paypal link at PrayforChina.us if you’d like to give to our China ministry. Last but not least, for (almost) everything else we’re doing visit PrayGiveGo.us. Luke 10, vs 2: the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few, therefore ask the Lord for more. Talk again soon!
Merry Christmas to all of my beloved Unshaken Saints! In this video, I share a Christmas message I wrote as a 19-year-old missionary, linking my first Christmas in Puerto Rico to the first Christmas in Bethlehem. May this beautiful holiday season bring you a greater measure of "peace on earth, good will to men."
