Today’s episode is a lightly edited version of an interview I did with Ray Comfort* one year ago this week. We spoke via Zoom from my hotel on the China border (Ray was at his office in LA) about my deportation and attempts to re-enter China, the dangers of being arrested as a spy, Ray's early memories of "starving China", preaching amidst persecution, and more. I also took some time to explain to Ray that his adopted home state of California is matched up with Xinjiang Province for prayer in our Pray for China scheme. *Ray Comfort, the founder of Living Waters Publications, has been faithfully equipping Christians in biblical evangelism for decades, and his message, Hell’s Best Kept Secret, had a huge impact on me as a teenager way back in 1999.

Can an introvert be an effective pastor?In this episode, Ralph Moore continues his conversation with Antoine Lassiter, exploring the hidden challenges many pastors face but rarely discuss. Antoine shares how anxiety, overthinking, and a desire to control outcomes once kept him isolated before services—even hiding in his office to avoid conversations. What he discovered changed both his leadership and his church.Together, Ralph and Antoine unpack the surprising connection between introversion, self-focus, and ministry effectiveness. They discuss practical ways pastors can move beyond performance-driven leadership and become more present with the people they serve.The conversation also highlights how simple acts of love can transform a church's relationship with its community. From delivering donuts to essential workers during COVID to building a thriving partnership with a local elementary school, Antoine shares how his church learned to think beyond its walls and become a trusted presence in the neighborhood.Along the way, Ralph reflects on lessons learned from decades of ministry, and Antoine honors the mentors who taught him the importance of slowing down, investing in people, and seeing potential in others before they see it in themselves.In this episode:Why introverted pastors often struggle with people more than preachingThe difference between preparation and performanceHow anxiety can subtly become self-centerednessPractical ways to become more approachable as a leaderWhat COVID taught one church about serving its communityBuilding long-term partnerships with local schoolsWhy disciple-making requires slowing downThe power of mentoring and making time for othersWhether you're an introvert, an extrovert, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers encouragement for leading authentically, loving people intentionally, and trusting God with the results.

In this homily The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St.George Episcopal Church, focuses on the day's Gospel and the gifts given to us by God versus the secular ones to which we are accustomed. He points out that God's gifts are not based on whether a person is deserving or undeserving.  Like the apostles we must have belief, trust, and hope in God. God is with us whether we struggle or succeed and regardlessof what lies ahead of us.Send comments to: musingsonfaith@gmail.com.

Coming to you from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studios, are you thinking about getting into cigars but not sure where to start? Or maybe you have a friend who's curious about the hobby and you're wondering what cigars to hand them first? Nick builds the ultimate beginner cigar sampler and breaks down the four cigars he'd recommend to help a new smoker learn about the world of premium cigars. Along the way, he discusses why mild doesn't have to mean flavorless, the difference between spice and strength, why dark wrappers aren't always stronger, and how different wrappers and tobacco varieties can completely change the smoking experience. Nick also explains why construction matters just as much as flavor, what new smokers should look for in a cigar, and why he has begun to generally avoid recommending flavored or sweet-tipped cigars to someone who wants to learn about premium tobacco. Whether you're brand new to cigars or looking for the perfect recommendations for a friend, this episode offers a practical roadmap for exploring the hobby one cigar at a time.

Coming to you from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studios, after an extended weekend with his son, Nick is thankful you guys called in and gave him something to talk about on another Ask the Pulpit episode! Nick takes your calls and hears from you about a variety of subjects including how long would it take for a cigar butt to decompose and more. Nick also gets a call from listener James that sets him off down a rabbit hole that eventually leads to a discussion about the Age of Legality for various things in the United States and how the sliding scale of that age makes absolutely no sense. What are your thoughts? In the Villiger Entertainment Report, Nick takes a slightly different approach to this segment and talks a bit about some of the fun he and his son had this past weekend.

God puts a calling on the life of all of His children… Life is way better when we follow His calling. Sometimes God directs us to a change of course. Whatever direction God sends us in life, we can rest assured that He is always preparing us for the future plans He has for us. There's an old saying that goes, "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it." On today's program we will hear from someone that has spent nearly half his life living out his calling as the host of a hunting show on national TV.  We will hear of his calling, his struggles and how God continues to use him in a very unique ministry.

(Jonah 1:17-2:10) Join Scott Pauley as he delivers a message unfolding the gospel within the book of Jonah. Jonah's experience—swallowed by a great fish and praying from the depths—points forward to the saving work of Jesus Christ. The message explores the redemptive thread woven through all Scripture, Jesus' own reference to Jonah (Matthew 12:39–40), and the significance of three days and three nights. The preparation for salvation is by the Lord, the provision for salvation is from the Lord, and the prayer of repentance and faith is directed to the Lord.

Coming to you from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studios, Nick discusses a topic that has been popping up more and more this year, Track and Trace. It's a system of tracking tobacco products from the manufacturer to the retailer being used in the European Union. Nick discusses what it is, why it's in place, some of the pros and cons for it, and whether or not we're likely to see it in the United States anytime soon. And he gets into what it ultimately means for the consumer and his thoughts as to the real driving force behind it.  It's a topic consumers may not be aware of but should be, because it could result in higher cigar prices. But what doesn't these days... Find out what show Nick watched lately in the Villiger Cigars Entertainment Report. And learn what three cigars Nick smoked and enjoyed this week.

Host Jeff Shepherd examines how modern spiritual language and certain New Age teachings can mask deeper occult roots and form the basis of a one‑world religious outlook. In this episode he traces the lineage of these ideas back to Helena Blavatsky and the founding of the Theosophical Society, explaining why these teachings still matter to today's church and culture. Shepard reviews Blavatsky's life and major works (Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine), summarizes core theosophical doctrines—an unknowable absolute, cyclical cosmos, karma and reincarnation, ‘‘root races,'' and the elevation of Lucifer as a bringer of light—and recounts how she popularized occult vocabulary that later seeped into mainstream spiritual movements. The episode identifies how those doctrines have been repackaged as phrases like "Christ consciousness," "higher self," and the "Great Awakening," and maps their influence forward through figures such as Alice Bailey, intersections with Nazi occultism and Operation Paperclip, and alleged carryover into intelligence programs and segments of the modern church. Shepard contrasts these reinterpretations with biblical teaching and shows concrete examples of scriptural twisting (for example, reinterpreting Matthew 24 and the meaning of the risen Christ). Key points include the danger of fragmenting biblical truth into self‑deification, the reuse of occult symbols and language in Christian contexts, and the pastoral imperative to test spirits and judge doctrine. The episode features host Jeff Shepard (no outside guests) and issues a clear call to be Bereans: study Scripture, learn the true gospel, and develop discernment so counterfeit teachings can be recognized. Shepard closes by previewing the next episode, which will move from Blavatsky to Alice Bailey and her alleged 10‑point plan for influencing churches, and by reminding listeners to love God, love family and neighbor, and to make a difference in their communities.
