On September 5, 1982, 12-year-old paperboy Johnny Gosch left his West Des Moines home before dawn to deliver the Des Moines Register—and never returned. His red wagon was found two blocks away, still loaded with undelivered papers. Witnesses reported Johnny speaking with a stocky man near a blue two-toned car, and another man seen trailing him moments later. Within minutes, Johnny vanished.In this episode, we dig into one of America's most chilling missing-child cases—and the fallout that changed the country. We reconstruct Johnny's last morning, then unravel an investigation marked by early missteps and delays that fueled Noreen Gosch's relentless campaign for reform. Her advocacy helped end mandatory waiting periods for missing-child cases through the Johnny Gosch Bill and contributed to the broader national push that led to the creation of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. We also examine the haunting pattern of other Des Moines-area disappearances, including paperboy Eugene Martin in 1984 and Marc Allen in 1986—cases still unsolved and often viewed through the same lens of fear and possibility. The story takes darker, more controversial turns: the testimony of trafficking survivor Paul Bonacci, who said he was forced to participate in Johnny's abduction and later won a civil judgment after a federal judge found his account credible; Noreen's claim that an adult Johnny visited her in March 1997; and the disputed photographs left at her home in 2006. We lay out what's alleged, what's documented, and why the case remains so fiercely debated.Finally, we cover Noreen Gosch's updated allegations naming John David Norman and Phillip Paske as potential perpetrators—claims that remain unproven but continue to shape public theories about the case. As of 2025, Johnny Gosch has been missing for more than 43 years. No arrests. No confirmed sightings. Just a family still searching and a case that refuses to die.

Jacob has two wives, one wanted and one unwanted (see how this happened here: https://youtu.be/T5afnPFFtUQ). Pastor Luke explains how, despite the dysfunction, chaos, and warring desires, God's promise will be fulfilled.

God disciplines those He loves. After the high of receiving an amazing promise from the Lord (see last week: https://youtu.be/RYE_RpM3O2A), Jacob encounters the woman he desires for a wife. However, in the process of making her his own, he experiences a taste of his own medicine. Pastor Luke explains this complex story, filled with deceit, and delves into the question of how the Lord could allow this to happen.

Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series in Genesis with Chapter 29 verses 1-30 involving Jacob, Laban, and Rachel. Jacob arrives in Haran hoping to find a wife, escape his brother's wrath, and build a future. Instead, he finds deception, heartbreak, and the consequences of his own sin. Jacob, once a cowardly liar, is being humbled by divine design.

Jacob was running for his life, and while he was sleeping, God pulled back the curtain, revealing what He was doing and giving Jacob a promise that would impact generations. Pastor Dan Rude shares about the meaning of Jacob's dream and Jacob's reaction to his encounter with God.

Join us again this week as we continue our sermon series on Genesis with chapter 27 verse 41 through chapter 28 verse 22. We look at the beginning of Jacob's relationship with God. Jacob is on the run and burdened by his own sin. Sleeping on a stone for a pillow, in the middle of the wilderness, God initiates a relationship with him.In one of the most famous dreams in Scripture, Jacob sees a stairway connecting heaven and earth, with angels ascending and descending. The gospel is for people like Jacob. And people like us.

In Genesis chapter 27, we find a story without heroes. As Jacob steals Esau's blessing, we see God works through the failure of His people to accomplish His purposes, and we also see that there are grave consequences for our sin. Isaac's rebellion towards God's plan ultimately blows up his family.

Join us this week as we continue our sermon series on Genesis with chapter 26 verse 34 through chapter 27 verse 40. Genesis 27 reads more like a “not top 10” blooper reel than a highlight of faith. Every main character fails. Isaac, Rebecca, Jacob, and Esau. It's a story of lies, favoritism, manipulation, deception, and broken trust. And yet God's plan still prevails.When everyone is working against God's will, He brings about exactly what He promised. God works even through failure, and His purposes never fail.

What tempted Isaac to call his wife his sister??? God's promise to Abraham continues on to his son Isaac along with many very similar life situations. While Isaac is faithful in some areas, we can still observe fear in his life. Pastor Dan Rude talks about how we face fear in the Christian life and how Isaac ultimately chose God over wealth.

Join us again this week as we continue our series in Genesis with a sermon on chapter 26 verses 1-33. Genesis 26 is the only chapter in the Bible where Isaac is the main character, and here we find many parallels between him and his father Abraham. Famine, fear, conflict, and covenant. Isaac walks a road that feels all too familiar. Yet God's faithfulness to Abraham is reaffirmed in Isaac's journey. And not because Isaac is perfect, but because God's promises are.

Unlike his father, Isaac turned to the Lord in his childlessness, and the Lord gave him twins along with a revelation that these two boys would become the beginnings of nations. Pastor Luke Hukee explains how one twin's attitude toward what he was given can be imitated by us today—and why we should avoid that.

Join us again this week as we continue our series on Genesis, continuing with chapter 25 verses 19-34. This week we meet Jacob and Esau. Two brothers who show us what happens when we despise the promises of God.Esau gives away his birthright for a bowl of stew. Jacob seizes it through manipulation. This story is about the contrast between shortsightedness and faith, self-reliance and grace, human failure and God's sovereign plan.We've all been like Esau. We've all been like Jacob. But the good news is, Jesus shares his birthright with those who believe.

How do you know God is for you? Romans 8. Dr. Donald Whitney explains how we can be sure that God is not against us, neutral towards us, but rather He is FOR US!This message was given by guest speaker Dr Donald Whitney, who hosted an Equip Conference that weekend, Spiritual Disciplines for Real People.

Join us again this week as we continue our series on Genesis with a sermon on Genesis chapter 25 verses 1-18.With the death of Abraham, Genesis 25 marks a major transition in the story of Scripture and in the story of God's redemptive plan. This chapter may look like a list of names and funerals, but beneath the surface is a powerful reflection on promises fulfilled, nations born, sons sent away, and a life well lived in faith. We close the book on Abraham's life and begin the next chapter with Isaac and Jacob.Abraham lived a full life of patient, persevering faith. The question is: will we?

What promises are you building your life on? Every day, we base our lives on promises we believe, but only the promises of God provide a foundation that will never fail. Abraham's story is a powerful reminder that a life built on the promises of God is a life well-lived. Learn how to trust God's Word and run your race of faith with endurance.

Join us this with for another sermon on Genesis, continuing where we left off with the meeting of Isaac and Rebekah in Genesis chapter 24 verses 28-67.Here we find one of the most beautiful and complete love stories in the Bible that shows us how God leads our lives and what it means to have a Godly and faithful character. We pick up the story with Rebekah's answer to Isaac, and follow the love story to the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah. Whether you're single, dating, married, or raising children, this story gives timeless insight into what to pursue—and what to avoid—in godly relationships.For more information on Walnut Creek Church - Altoona visit us at wcaltoona.org

Finding a wife isn't easy—even in Genesis. Pastor Dan Rude walks us through Isaac's search for a wife and what we can learn today about pursuing marriage.

Join us again this week as we continue our series on Genesis, with chapter 24 verses 1-27. We look at how this story is an illustration of how God works through his people, and how that work takes sacrifice, risk, and initiative by us as Christians.Genesis 24 is a complete short story embedded in the bigger story of God's redemption. In this first half, we follow Abraham's trusted servant on a dangerous 900 mile journey to find a wife for Isaac. In this sermon we'll cover:Why this journey mattered so much to the promises of GodHow to walk by faith when the outcome is unknown7 timeless principles for doing God's work todayWhy God uses people to fulfill His eternal missionHow to live a life that echoes into eternityYou can visit Walnut Creek Church - Altoona at wcaltoona.org

Abraham and Sarah were married for over 100 years, and in Genesis 23, we witness Abraham dealing with the death of his wife and how the first land owned in the Promised Land was not a city, but a tomb.

Join us as we launch into our newest sermon series on Genesis, continuing where we left off with chapter 23, verses 1-20. In this chapter, Abraham faces the heartbreaking loss of his wife, Sarah. And while this chapter may seem like a random, obscure negotiation for land, it's actually one of the most profound acts of faith in the Old Testament. Abraham puts faith in God's promises, trusting in a future he can't see yet, but one he knows will come to pass because he has seen what God has already done.Abraham only owned a cave and a field, but he lived like heaven was his true homeland. We're called to do the same.

Prayer is an important part of the Christian life as shown in the early church. The patterns we see then are meant to be carried into today. 1. Pray together- Praying together deepens our fellowship and relationships with one anotherHelps you be more consistent2. Pray in all circumstancesBook of Acts examples: In waiting, In decision making, In persecution and suffering, In commissioning, For healings and miracles, When leaving one another, In danger and trialsTheir pattern was to turn to God in all circumstances3. Pray at set times- The pattern of the Jews were to pray three times a day (Acts 3:1; Acts 10:9; Daniel 6:10)- Develop the rhythm and habit of praying, not necessarily the length• Morning, noon, evening pattern• Hourly or regular pauses• Using meals as anchors• Driving in the car4. Pray the Scriptures- Let God's Word guide your prayersWhy pray the scriptures?• To protect us from becoming bored and not praying• Because something is going to shape your prayers - let Scripture shape your prayers, not your own feelings or ideas

Prayer is the lifeline of the Christian life.Join us again this week as we finish our sermon series of Acts and the beginning of the church with the final pillar of the early church: devotion to prayer. We don't just see prayer mentioned—we see a church saturated in it. From house meetings to prison breaks, from fearful doubt to faithful dependence, Acts shows us that ordinary people were transformed by extraordinary communion with God.God still moves through prayer today. Not because our prayers are perfect, but because He is faithful.

What does being devoted to fellowship look like? It is so much more than just feeling positively towards the body of Christ. Dan Rude explains how fellowship is organic and how fellowship is also deliberate and why it mattered in the early church and today! Outline: What is fellowship?1. Fellowship is the fruit of walking in the light (organic)2. Fellowship is actively participating in the life of Christ together (deliberate)Benefits of fellowship1. Maturity in Christ-fellowship is the path to maturity- We need each other to know Christ deeply (Colossians 2:1-3)- How we treat each other is one of the primary ways we serve Jesus (Ephesians 4:15-16)2. Reaching the world for ChristPrioritize Christian fellowship1. Be a great, encouraging friend- Be what the church should be;don't point fingers at others2. Give generously3. Go to church4. Join a Community Group

Join us again this week for another sermon on Acts chapter 2 as we look at the first Christian church, which was not a denomination or institution, but a family of believers marked by sacrificial love, shared meals, and unshakable joy.The first church didn't grow because of strategy, marketing, or promotions. It grew because people saw a supernatural love and wanted in.Walnut Creek Church is located in Altoona, Iowa.

When a baby is born, one of the first things it desires is milk. Likewise, when the church came to be, the first characteristic mentioned is a devotion to God's Word. Pastor Dan Rude explains why Christians are devoted to the word and what it practically looks like.

How did a group of 120 believers ignite a gospel movement that spread across the entire world? The answer lies in one word: devotion.Join us again this week for another sermon on Acts chapter 2. This time we learn how the early church devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, and how that same devotion fuels an unshakable church today.If you've ever felt dry, distant, or weak in your faith, this sermon will remind you of the transforming, stabilizing, and empowering force of Scripture in the life of a believer.

Peter preached a powerful but simple sermon that sparked the transformation of 3,000 lives. Pastor Dan Rude walks us through this powerful message and what it means for us in this day and age.

Join us this week as we launch our newest sermon series examining the birth of the church, using Acts chapter 2 as our guide. Everyone loves a good origin story. But no startup, sketch, or garage project compares to the launch of the global Church in Acts 2.We'll explore the moment of Pentecost and the arrival of the Holy Spirit, as well as Peter's bold gospel proclamation to the crowd that called for the death of Jesus.This is more than Church history. This is our story.Walnut Creek Church is located in Altoona, Iowa. To learn more visit wcaltoona.org

Jesus' warning in John 8 is one of love and not control. Pastor Dan Rude explains what Jesus means when He said, "I am going to a place you cannot follow."

Light produces growth, reveals the way and makes life on this earth possible. With that in mind, it is not surprising that Jesus compares Himself to the light of the world. Pastor Luke explains what is happening as Jesus is having this conversation and why it matters for us today.

The religious leaders were set on trapping Jesus. One of these traps was recorded in John 8, when the Pharisees brought a woman who had committed adultery before Him. Jesus' response points us to the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, affirms the law of God, and reveals Jesus' heart toward the lost.

Often, the strategy of the world is to shame people out of faithfulness to Christ. This is seen in John 7 as the religious leaders of the day turn to insults to try and dissuade people from believing in Jesus. Pastor Dan Rude encourages us to not be ashamed of the Gospel and gives us a practical step on how to do this.

"If anyone is a thirsty let him come to Me and drink." Why does Jesus say this? Pastor Caleb Thompson explains how Jesus offers a living water, something that can actually satisfy at the deepest level in a way that changes your life.

Pastor Caleb Thompson explains how we see spiritual blindness in Jesus' encounter with the people at the temple during the festival of booths. This spiritual blindness is not limited to back then.

Jesus enters the festival in secret and in the face of pressure, preaches to in the temple. Pastor Derek Wadle explains what Jesus is trying to communicate to the Jews and how it reveals to us who Jesus is!
