  • In the Beginning (Bonus)

    Well! This podcast certainly did give me something new to think about. Russ answers a very odd question. You’ll have to listen to find out what it was. 🙂

    What a great history lesson. I didn’t know anything about the Back to Jerusalem Ministry. Now I wish everybody knew.

  • Love Part 6

    STORGĒ. “I choose to do what I know benefits you” strikes again in this podcast. If I understand storgē correctly, it needs to be guided by the love described in Part 5–agape. Storgē love is affection that can produce grace or justify dysfunction. Both of these examples can be found in an institution we all understand—the family. What better place to “choose the best interest of the other (family) person.” Storgē love.

  • Isaiah 64-66

    I love it when you say, “Listen.” You have a special way of doing that. And I always do. My life verse (is that what it’s called?) is Isaiah 64:6. When presented with that verse, that’s the day in 1969 that I gave my heart to Jesus. Your overview of Isaiah was short and sweet—judgment to rescue. I have not and will not resist rescue. God is so good. I’m not sad now that Isaiah has concluded. (I can review it any time.) I’m rejoicing because God has good things for us.

  • Psalm 100. A psalm of thanksgiving.

    Today I liked the distinction between gates and courts. That was new to me. But what I love and appreciate the most is your enthusiasm, Russ. It is contagious. Don’t ever lose that voice.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What We Learned from the Underground Church in China
Q: Why are Bibles so important to Chinese believers and how are they obtained?
Bibles are precious and often hard to come by due to illegality; believers value the Bible as their sole source of spiritual truth in many villages, and people have developed remarkable methods, including smuggling, to ensure each community has access to Scripture.
What We Learned from the Underground Church in China
Q: Who are the house church leaders, and what is their function?
There are five top leaders who oversee the house churches and provide shepherding and organizational direction for a vast network of believers; their role is to maintain the underground church's operation while keeping it under the radar.
The Bible in China: Eugene Bach on Smuggling, Printing, and Revival
Q: How did Bible smuggling transition into inside-China printing, and what were the key turning points?
The shift began with early smuggling in the 1980s and 1990s, followed by collaborations that allowed printing inside China at a state-controlled level, starting with a major printing house and essential local partnerships that enabled legal distribution under government oversight.
Kris’s Story: From “Don’t Read the Bible” to “I Love the Bible”
Q: What would you say some of your life verses are?
She highlights Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 12:1-2 as guiding verses, emphasizing trust in God's plans, transformation through renewing the mind, and faith during difficult times, which have anchored her faith and leadership.
Kris’s Story: From “Don’t Read the Bible” to “I Love the Bible”
Q: What was that journey like? And what role did the Bible play in your maturity as a Christian and really becoming a leader?
Kris describes moving from a background where Scripture was studied only with leadership interpretation to deep, practical discipleship in a small group, which fostered hands-on ministry, spiritual gifts, and a sense of calling. The Bible became a manual for daily life and leadership as she matured.
