In this episode, Carter Hudson joins us to share about life as of late and dive into the intriguing topics of dreams and prophecy. Can dreams today truly be from God? How can we discern if they are? And if they are, how do we test them and pay attention to them without placing undue trust in them or going against Scripture? Join us as we explore these questions, offer our thoughts, and navigate the balance between spiritual sensitivity and biblical discernment.

Joining us around the fire is Danny Weiss, a former staff member with Adventures in Missions and David Platt at Radical, where he served as the Stratus Index Director and website designer. Danny now works with Unfolding Word, where he oversees the Gateway Languages Database as a researcher and data engineer, focusing on identifying multilingualism to strategically equip the global church for Bible translation. In this episode, Danny shares his wealth of knowledge on how to effectively reach the unreached and how to live with a missionally minded perspective.

Mark is the author of Authorized: The Use & Misuse of the King James Bible, the editor of Bible Study Magazine at Faithlife, hosts his own YouTube channel, and serves with his family at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Mount Vernon, Washington. This episode serves as a part two to our previous discussion, The Plow Boy, KJV-Onlyism, and the Benefit of Other Translations, where we aim to go even deeper into the subject with someone who has greatly impacted our own journeys. We pray this conversation challenges and blesses you as you reflect on the Bible’s trustworthiness and the different translations available to us.

Alec Lockard joins us around the Digital Campfire this episode to share all that the Lord has been doing in his life. We dive into some tough questions: Is baptism necessary for salvation? Does it have to happen in a church according to scripture? Why do so many young Christians seem disengaged from their relationship with Christ? And how seriously should we take serving in the Church? These are just a few of the questions we explore as we discuss faith, commitment, and the importance of living out our beliefs.

In this episode, Zach McNeal joins us to share an embarrassing moment he experienced during a mission trip, along with the personal growth he’s gone through in the past few years. We also tackle a question that many people struggle with, which can often prevent them from truly understanding who the Father is. 

In this episode, our dear friend and former mentor, Deon Vanstaden, joins us to explore the gift of healing and whether it’s for the church today. Deon, a South African native, pastor, church planter, and Director of Coaches at Adventures in Missions, brings his insights to help us tackle this important question. If healing is for today, how do we pursue it, and does it honor Christ? We hope this conversation encourages you to think deeply about the topic and seek out the Scriptures to discover the truth for yourself!

I recently finished reading Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible by Mark Ward (highly recommend!), a book I picked up during a trip that was truly a blessing. In this episode, Erika and I briefly discuss the ideas from the book and share our hearts behind doing this episode. We tackle a topic and belief that many of our loved ones hold close with grace and humility. We believe God’s Word is alive and active, and though we don’t have all the answers, our prayer is that this conversation will bless those who listen.

"So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it."
—Isaiah 55:11

Our friend John McGrath reached out to us last month with some thought-provoking questions he believes are common among those outside the Christian faith. In this episode, we have a candid conversation as we dive into the what, why, and how of being a follower of Jesus, exploring doubts, misconceptions, and the heart of Christian faith.

Our friends Erik Trogdon and Bradley Leichter join us to share a memorable experience from our time in Morocco. We also dive into the challenges of being present in both joy and suffering. Why do we, as humans, struggle to sit with the uncomfortable moments of life? We reflect on this question and share our thoughts on how to navigate those tough moments with presence and perspective.
