This week’s episode of the Prison Pulpit begins with a deep dive into an article written by a Chinese pastor about his experiences answering two Chinese objections to Christianity: is it all about money? And is Christianity a foreign religion? He eventually boils down his response to one final thought: it's not whether Christ is Chinese, but that China belongs to Christ! Then we talk about praying for China, and I share a related story from my first visit (23 years ago) to Yanchi (Salt Lake) in north central China.

Why the Prison Pulpit? 

The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison.

Story Time: I had a memorable visit to Yanchi (Salt Lake) way back during my first few months in China in the early summer of 2003, which included roaming the arid alleyways in pitch black darkness (literally couldn’t see my own feet), leaving small packets/portions of God’s Word on hundreds of doorsteps and in many a bicycle basket all over the little town.

Does 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 really teach a secret pre-tribulation rapture? For generations, many Christians have viewed this passage as one of the clearest biblical proofs that the Church will be removed from the world before the Great Tribulation. But is that what Paul actually meant?

In Episode 3 of Top 10 Most Controversial Verses: Eschatology Edition, Matt Plett examines the famous “caught up” passage and challenges one of modern evangelicalism’s most influential assumptions. Rather than describing believers escaping the earth, Paul may instead be portraying the public, victorious arrival of Christ and the resurrection of the dead.

Exploring the meaning of “meeting the Lord in the air,” Roman historical background, resurrection themes, and the wider biblical context, this episode takes a fresh look at one of the most debated texts in Bible prophecy.

Is a new global government for artificial intelligence already taking shape? On today's episode of The Sentinel Report, Alex Newman exposes the launch of the new World AI Cooperation Organization—an international body created by 29 governments, including Communist China and Russia, to coordinate global AI governance. What does this mean for freedom, privacy, national sovereignty, and the future of humanity?

Then, Secretary of State Marco Rubio reveals decades of Cuban communist infiltration and subversion inside the United States, shedding new light on how Havana helped fuel radical anti-American movements on U.S. soil.

We'll also examine President Trump's latest legal victory protecting America's national parks from ideological activism—and what it signals in the broader battle over America's culture and institutions.

Today's guests:

Iesha Schreiner, TPUSA Rise leader and author of One Nation Under God: 250th Anniversary Devotional, discusses restoring biblical values, constitutional principles, and patriotism in the next generation while reaching communities long dominated by the Left.

Scott Wheeler, investigative journalist, reveals shocking new details about the firebombing of a pro-life pregnancy center in New York, the extremists behind the attack, and why much of the corporate media has ignored this major story.

Richard Gage, founder and former CEO of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, reflects on the unanswered questions surrounding 9/11 nearly 25 years later, Congress' potential to ask crucial questions surrounding 9/11, and previews a major event in New York City this September.

Join us as we connect the dots, expose the forces reshaping America and the world, and bring you the stories the establishment media would rather keep hidden. As always, we don't just tell you what's wrong. We share what you can do about it.

I believe this episode is finally available. There's a glitch in the upload process that I have worked around...I think.
Thanks for your persistent effort to listen to this episode! We sincerely hope it's worth it!

Why does evangelism feel so difficult, and how can Christians grow in boldness when sharing the gospel? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explains that evangelism is not merely a method, personality type, or awkward religious duty, but the joyful proclamation of the good news that Jesus Christ reconciles sinners to God. Tracing God's missionary heart from Abraham to Israel, from the Gospels to the Great Commission, Cory encourages believers to trust the power of God's Word, pray for boldness, and begin with the lost people already around them.

Why do some biblical prophecies seem to be fulfilled in stages? In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour explains the biblical pattern of near and far fulfillment using roller coasters, waterslides, and whitewater kayaking. Looking at Tyre in Ezekiel 26, the Davidic covenant, Ezekiel's temple, and Isaiah's prophecy of the virgin birth, he shows how God's promises unfold across history—and why that should strengthen our confidence in Scripture.

John got an ace-in-the-hole today!  And Luke has nipples...

Peter Pan is over, but the memories are forever.  We're thankful the old adage about terrible dress rehearsals held true!

THEN:  John officially transferred his church membership!    How many people even know what that means?

AND: John reads a substack article written by an ex-vangelical. (He doesn't read THE WHOLE THING, thank Heaven.)
