Dr. Oliver interviews Mary J Browning, a litigator for Operation Outcry. Mary has practiced in many circuit courts and in the appellate divisions of the Missouri Court of Appeals, and in the United States Supreme Court. She’s argued in courtrooms across Missouri and helped shape state policy on child welfare. Now, she’s lending her legal skill to something deeply personal: supporting women who want to speak out after abortion. From local hearings to Supreme Court briefs, her work helps make sure every voice has a chance to be heard.

In this episode, returning guest Mr. Troy Anderson discusses his journey and insights into the world of faith-based publishing.

He also discusses current projects, including turning his book 'Revelation 9:11' into a TV series and 'The Trump Code' into a documentary.

Our title for today's podcast is: The Changing Face of Missions – Non-Western Missionary Force – International Missionaries. This episode features a special guest, Mr. Don Baier, the International Director of Global Missionary Clearinghouse—part of the vibrant ministry of Global Surge, led by Dr. Greg Lyons. Don brings insight into a movement that’s quietly reshaping missions around the world. The rise of non-Western missionaries, many from the Philippines, is opening doors in places once difficult to reach. These believers are well-equipped, cross cultures with ease, and carry the message of Jesus with deep conviction.
