Join us for an inspiring episode of the Pastoral Thoughts Podcast, recorded on June 5, 2025, at 03:49 PM EDT, as Pastor Jack Young sits down with Evangelist Doug Whitesides, an 83-year-old veteran of 60 years in ministry. Having preached in all 50 states and served in over 50 countries, Doug shares the incredible story of a new door God has opened for him in the Philippines—a work he calls his “sacred secret ministry.”

In this heartfelt conversation, Doug reflects on how God used a life-altering tragedy to pave the way for this ministry. Two years ago, Doug survived a head-on collision with a tractor-trailer, enduring severe injuries that required seven surgeries. At the time, the pain and recovery seemed overwhelming, but Doug now sees God’s hand in it all. The accident opened unexpected opportunities, leading him to this new calling in the Philippines, where he’s witnessing God’s redemptive power in remarkable ways. Enjoy!

Join us on this episode of the Pastoral Thoughts Podcast, recorded on May 22, 2025, as we welcome Dennis Celestine from Grenada. Dennis shares his powerful testimony of coming to Christ as a young man on the island during the communist control of the early 1980s, before the United States intervention in 1983. He reflects on how the Gospel transformed his life and led him to plant four churches in Grenada, bringing hope to his community through the enduring Word of God (1 Peter 1:23-25). Dennis also gives us a glimpse into the spiritual landscape of Grenada today, where the need for the Gospel remains great. As we prepare for our upcoming missions trip to Grenada this summer, where 19 members of Lighthouse Bible Baptist Church will serve, Dennis offers insights to inspire us for the work ahead. Just as the Gospel reached Corinth against all odds (1 Corinthians 2:1-10), it can reach Grenada today through faithful messengers. Don’t miss this encouraging conversation!
