Confessing Our Hope: The Podcast of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary
In this episode of the Dead Presbyterians Society Podcast, Jonathan Master walks through the opening chapter of John Witherspoon's A Practical Treatise on Regeneration. From John 3:3, Witherspoon presses the necessity of a true new birth; great, universal, inward, and the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. A searching pastoral word for anyone tempted to rest in outward religion rather than a heart made new.Learn more about the Dead Presbyterians Society at confessional.orgJoin us on October 14-16 in Dallas/Forth Worth for the Missionary conference.

-What does it actually cost to follow Jesus in Nigeria right now? In this episode of Fuel for the Harvest, Nathan talks with Walter Egbe, a field missionary in Nigeria and leader with Perfect Edifiers, about the two major threats facing the Nigerian church today: violent persecution from Islamic extremism in the north, and the erosion of biblical truth by the prosperity gospel in the south.Walter shares sobering numbers, an estimated 500,000 Christians displaced from their homes, and describes a reality where believers risk their lives, families, and communities simply for changing their faith. But rather than framing this as only tragedy, Walter offers a striking perspective: he sees the current crisis as a divine open door for the gospel to advance in places it's never reached before.Nathan and Walter also dig into the practical, on-the-ground strategy Walter's ministry uses: translating gospel and discipleship materials into local languages, disguising them so they can reach restricted regions, training and sending back believers to disciple their own people, and running free Sunday school and leadership training resources to counter prosperity gospel teaching that has taken root in many churches.In this episode you'll discover:-The scale of Christian persecution happening in Nigeria right now-How Walter's ministry gets gospel materials into regions hostile to Christianity-Why prosperity gospel teaching has become one of the biggest threats to the church in southern Nigeria-The training and discipleship pipeline that equips local believers to reach their own communities-Practical, specific ways listeners outside Nigeria can actually help-Why Walter sees this moment of crisis as a divine opportunity, not just a threatWhether you want to pray more specifically for persecuted believers or you're looking for a real, on-the-ground ministry to support, this conversation will give you a clear picture of what's happening and how to respond.

Episode 242Missionary Marco joins us on this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast to discuss John Perkins, a pastor described at the time of his death as one of America's unsung heroes for having sought to heal the scourge of racism through the ministry of the church. He was raised by his grandmother after the death of his mother and the abandonment of his father and came to faith as an adult, at the invitation of his son. From that point on, having experienced overt racism firsthand and making the Christlike decision to forgive, Perkins threw all of himself into ministering to the people around him. He moved out of the affluent area he was living in to a less desirable "ghetto" area. All aspects of his ministry involved real action to combat socio-economic issues that accompany the spiritual issues the people faced. At first glance and in light of recent trends, we may be tempted to dismiss his work as the social gospel or woke theology, but Missionary Marco argues that our churches may be able to learn a thing or two about missions from Perkins, and that Christians should be challenged to give more of themselves to the Great Commission. Though there are certain aspects of Perkins' theology that Missionary Marco would not agree with, he joins us to help shed more light on this relatively unknown minister and the good he's done to address some of the ugly realities in U.S. race relations today.Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here:Spotify: https://cutt.ly/Ega8YeI Apple Podcast: https://cutt.ly/Vga2SVdYouTube: https://cutt.ly/mga8A77Podnews: https://podnews.net/podcast/i4jxoSee all our platforms: https://removingbarriers.netContact us:Email us: https://removingbarriers.net/contactFinancially support the show: https://removingbarriers.net/donateAffiliates:Book Shop: https://bookshop.org/shop/removingbarriersChristian Books . com: https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/home?event=AFF&p=1236574Fastmail: https://join.fastmail.com/8e23c12bSee all our affiliates: https://removingbarriers.net/affiliatesNotes:Episode 18 - Racial Relations and the Church: https://removingbarriers.net/rbp_18/

The experts voice is rarely God's voice. In John 10, Jesus tells us about the stranger's voice and God's voice. The strangers voice can sound very reasonable and logical, even "smarter" than what God is speaking. But remember God uses the foolish things to confound the wise. Many times there can be a level of foolish to what God is asking you to do but when you obey the results are better than that of the experts. Reasoning and fear demand to be heard but God's voice is waiting for us to listen.

Have you ever wondered if you're leading well—or if you're accidentally taking over? In Episode 270: How to Lead Without Taking Over, I answer a thoughtful question from a sister missionary who worried she might be controlling as a senior companion. Her vulnerability opened the door to a conversation I think every leader needs to hear. Whether you're a trainer, district leader, mission leader, parent, teacher, or simply someone with stewardship over another person, learning to lead with humility while preserving agency is one of the most important skills you can develop. In this episode, we explore the difference between stewardship and superiority, why good leaders reflect instead of assuming they have all the answers, and how to create as much agency and influence as possible while still carrying the responsibility you've been given. I also introduce my LEAD Framework—Listen, Explain, Acknowledge, and Decide—to help you navigate disagreements with kindness, clarity, and confidence without sacrificing either leadership or relationships. Along the way, I share practical examples from missionary companionships that apply just as well to families, church callings, workplaces, and everyday life. If you've ever questioned your leadership, worried about making the right decision, or wondered how to balance responsibility with respect for another person's agency, I hope Episode 270: How to Lead Without Taking Over gives you greater confidence and peace. My hope is that you'll discover that true leadership isn't about having more power—it's about carrying greater responsibility with humility, compassion, and Christlike love. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

Kevin Rideout, a Christian missionary pilot kidnapped outside his own home in Niger, is finally free. He was released with help from Libya's military just three months after the U.S. killed ISIS's second in command.

In this episode, Lance walks through both stories side by side, tracing how one man came home while seven others disappeared without a trace. In this episode: * The kidnapping of Kevin Rideout outside his own home in Niger, and how Libya's military ended up brokering his release * Why Rideout is the 110th American freed from foreign captivity during Trump's second term, and what that pattern reveals * The raid on pastor David Tang's "purpose driven" church in Wenzhou, a city nicknamed "China's Jerusalem" * What Christian Solidarity Worldwide means when it calls Tang's disappearance an "enforced detention" * The law in China that bars anyone under 18 from setting foot inside a church Podcast Episode 2216: America Got 1 Missionary Back, But China Took 7 More | don't miss this!

It's Monday, August 17th, A.D. 2026. 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 Adam McManus U.S. missionary freed after 9 months captivity from Niger, Africa On August 14th, Kevin Rideout, a 50-year-old American missionary who was kidnapped in Niger, Africa last October, was released and will be reunited with his extended family, reports ABC News. According to Serving In Mission International, an evangelical mission agency which works in 70 countries, 98% of the population in Niger is Muslim. The mission group said Rideout is “in good health in the care of U.S. officials” and that his wife, Krista, and the rest of his family “are profoundly grateful for the prayers offered on their behalf by people around the world throughout his captivity.” Psalm 135:3 says, "Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good.” Rideout was kidnapped outside his home in Niamey, Niger on October 21, 2025 by three gunmen. Christian persecution has especially increased in Niger, Africa since 2023 after a military coup led by General Omar Tiani, head of the presidential guard unit, deposing democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum. After that coup, Niger's new military regime switched its alliances, choosing to start working with Russia and turning against Western allies. Indeed, the new regime ousted Western partners On Truth Social, President Donald Trump wrote, “I am proud to announce that Kevin Rideout, a wonderful Christian missionary, is back in United States custody. Kevin was kidnapped by Jihadi terrorists in West Africa — the epicenter of Islamist terrorism, where there have been more deadly attacks in the past year than anywhere else on Earth. Kevin, the United States of America looks forward to welcoming you HOME. Glad to have helped!” The full details surrounding Rideout's release are unclear. According to the Christian Broadcasting Network, the news comes the same week as the U.S. secured the release of another American, Robert Gilman, who had been held captive by Russia for four years. Gilman's health was failing in prison, and the U.S. and his family said he had been falsely accused and held by the Russian regime for political purposes. Earthquake hit Indonesia A magnitude 7.7 earthquake shook eastern Indonesia early Saturday, killing at least five people and touching off dozens of aftershocks, one measuring magnitude 6.1, reports the Christian Post. Flores island's Sikka Regency, which is part of East Nusa Tenggara Province, was the most affected area, where officials reported the earthquake's five deaths and several injuries. (Sikka Regency is a coastal district on the northeastern shore of Flores with a population of 346,000 spread over 647 square miles.) This Indonesian earthquake comes on the heels of an earthquake in Columbia on August 10th which killed 288 people and another earthquake in Venezuela on June 24th which killed 6,125 people. Please pray that God would comfort the families whose loved ones were killed in these three natural disasters. Dressed as Muslim, James O'Keefe exposes how MN enables voter fraud Investigative reporter James O'Keefe with the O'Keefe Media Group has exposed how Minnesota enables voter fraud by allowing registered voters to “vouch” for up to eight people living in the same precinct who are not registered to vote, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Dressed as a Muslim and accompanied by Cam Higby, who wore a burka, O'Keefe visited polls across Minneapolis and “presented an intentionally extreme scenario to expose the sheer lunacy of Minnesota's ‘vouching' system,” he explained on X. O'KEEFE: “In Minnesota, you can show up on election day and vouch for up to eight unregistered voters. Members of the Justice League dress up in traditional Muslim attire and put this vouching law to an extreme test on primary day, August 11.” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “The vouching?” POLL WORKER: “They're vouching for you?” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “I vouch for them.” POLL WORKER: “Oh.” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “Is that okay?” POLL WORKER: “Yes!” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “How does that work?” POLL WORKER: “Well, if you're all in the same precinct.” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “Yes.” POLL WORKER: “And you are already registered, which looks like you are, then you, you can vouch for them, as ID for them.” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “Oh, good.” KEEFE: “I say they do not need ID. She says, ‘You are the ID.' ANOTHER UNDERCOVER PERSON: “He is the ID.” KEEFE: “I am the ID.” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “And no ID needed. I just vouch for them.” POLL WORKER: “You're the ID.” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “I am the ID. That's good. How many people may I vouch for?” POLL WORKER: “Eight.” UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “Eight? I can vouch for eight people?” POLL WORKER: “Mm-mm.” (Nodding affirmatively) UNDERECOVER KEEFE: “Eight people. No ID. We come right back. Thank you.” Poll workers explained to him “again and again” that the people accompanying him did not need to present ID to vote as long as he vouched for them and that he could vouch for up to eight precinct residents. O'Keefe explained that this is all legal in the state, citing Minnesota Statute § 201.061 which says, “A registered voter can sign an affidavit affirming that they know another individual resides in the same precinct, allowing that person to register at the polls without presenting standard proof of residence. One registered voter can vouch for up to eight people.” Liberty Counsel urges President Trump to end mail-order abortion And finally, Liberty Counsel Action sent a letter to President Donald Trump and senior federal officials urging the administration to reverse the Biden-era policy of allowing mail-order abortion. The letter is an advocacy measure stating Abortion Kill Pills prescribed through the mail, without an in-person medical visit, endangers women, weakens state pro-life protections, and strips numerous other health and safety measures, the group explained. Under Biden, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration removed the requirement for an in-person clinic visit for the prescription of abortion pills, and the Department of Justice nullified enforcement of the federal Comstock Act of 1873, allowing abortion drugs to be sent through the mail. Since the removal of in-person visits and unfettered mail-order access, data shows the rate of severe complications from chemical abortions, between 2017 and 2023, rose by 13 percent. In his Faith and Freedom podcast, Liberty Counsel President Mat Staver said this. STAVER: “You can get these abortion drugs tele-med without ever seeing a doctor. Used to be that you needed to see a doctor at the very beginning, then you would get the prescription. Then, if you took the drug, you had to see a doctor as a follow-up because you could have complications. Now, there's no in-person visit before or after, and you can get this by tele-med. So, it's become very dangerous.” Liberty Counsel Action recommended “the immediate revocation of the Biden-era policy permitting the mailing of abortifacient drugs, whether by restoring the FDA's pre-Biden abortion pill safety protocols, enforcing of the Comstock Act, or both.” President Trump has previously declared that the states must determine their own abortion laws. In the letter, Liberty Counsel Action also advocated for that stated position noting that “abortion policy should be left to the states,” and pro-life state laws should not be “undermined by out-of-state providers illegally mailing abortion drugs across state lines.” The current policy has “stripped away vital safeguards” leading to numerous health risks, such as: An inability to verify gestational age whereby pills can be dispensed beyond the FDA's 10-week gestational limit where complications are significantly higher. An inability to effectively diagnose ectopic pregnancies that can easily be mistaken as the effects of the abortion pill, which left untreated, could lead to maternal death. An inability to verify age, leading to potential abuse of minors and violations of parental rights. An inability to detect forced or coerced abortions from abusive partners, traffickers, or family members. Beyond the potential harm to the mothers, the Abortion Kill Pill, which is now used in at least 63% of all abortions, takes the life of the innocent baby. Proverbs 24:11 says, “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter." Send a polite, 3-sentence letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche, urging him to prohibit the abortion industry from sending the dangerous Abortion Kill Pills in the mail.

God is speaking to you for a reason. We can doubt or reason away God's voice. Some Christians believe God no longer speaks, but John 10 says, "My sheep hear my voice." So as a believer, it is not a matter of if God is speaking but a question of whether or not you are listening. A question of whether or not you are discerning God's voice. Can you tell the difference between God's voice and the enemy's voice? Between God's voice and your own voice? God's voice is a gift. Are you seeking, listening, training yourself to hear His voice?

Cam Cooksey opens episode 63 (recorded August 15th, and a happy birthday to Jackie's dad, Javier) as the first show on Badlands that Saturday, mapping out a relaxed night of Truth Social posts, funny X finds, and the long overdue return of American of the Week. The heart of the show is his "triangulating truth" theme. Cam walks through Trump announcing missionary Kevin Rideout's rescue from West Africa, an AI photo tour of the new White House ballroom with George Washington, and a striking war casualty comparison putting Trump's Iran and Venezuela numbers against Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He gets fired up over a federal judge unsealing Epstein documents (rejecting Ghislaine Maxwell's objections) and an SPLC executive's fraud arrest, all via Ali Tucker's spin free write-ups. He closes with Guard Vegas hype (the September retreat he calls a family reunion) and a young man's words of wisdom. Let go and embrace the flow.

Today, Mike and Tim talk with Alex Wolf, director and content developer at Hope Heals, about her journey from pastor's kid and missionary to one of the key theological voices shaping Hope Heals' work. The conversation centers on how proximity to disability reorients faith, why disability is not a niche category but a universal human story, and what the church misses when it treats accessibility as a program instead of a posture.How does something like Hope Heals embody a kind of disruption to normal church life? How does belonging differ from hospitality, and how does co-creation matter more than merely making room for people?Timestamps:00:00 - Intro07:30 - Introducing Alex Wolf and her connection to Hope Heals12:00 - Growing up in a pastor's home and early faith formation13:00 - Missionary work overseas and the questions that started to surface14:00 - Family, trusted guides, and the freedom to question15:35 - Intellectual and existential wrestling in her 20s17:33 - How Alex first said yes to Hope Heals20:46 - Space to doubt inside a faith-centered parachurch organization20:46 - Space to doubt inside a faith-centered parachurch organization23:00 - Proximity to disability and a new understanding of the Beatitudes25:00 - Why Alex began writing theology of disability31:36 - Invisible wheelchairs and the many forms of hidden limitation39:00 - Why disability should not be treated as a program49:35 - Alex names the lack of ego as the secret ingredient at Hope Heals54:00 - Closing gratitude and final remarksPraxis Thesis: Valuing People With Disabilities as a Gift to SocietyHope Heals WebsiteHope Heals on Instagram: @hopehealsHope Heals Camp WebsiteThe GoodHard Story Podcast on Apple Podcasts and SpotifyTreasures in the Dark: 90 Reflections for Finding Bright Hope Hidden in the Hurting by Katherine Wolf and Alex WolfAs always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.
