- The First to Come to Christ (A Muslim Tanzanian Meets Jesus)
Send us Fan Mail
Michael Titus grew up as a Muslim. It was all that he knew. There had been no proclamation of the Gospel in his village in over 100 years. But Michael had a dream one night that gave him a deep longing for real joy. Michael dreamed that he saw a car full and people who were laughing and singing with great joy. They stopped the car and shouted to him, "Get in! You only have one chance!" When Michael woke up, he began to ask, "Where can I find this in reality?" Michael did find the longing of his heart and this is how it happened...Leave a Comment or ask a question:https://www.karlgessler.com/contactShow Your Love!

...42 min - Discovering Western Pornography (How a Chinese College Student Discovered Jesus)
Send us Fan Mail
Hung Yang grew up in communist China in the 1970s. Dr. Yang is now a citizen of the United States and teaches in a US University but before that, he was a loyal member of the Chinese Communist Party because he did not know that there was anything else to be. The young Dr. Yang did not even know that there was a book called “The Bible” until he was 20 years old and was studying English literature in a Communist school. The Bible is a highly restricted and sometimes forbidden book in China even today but especially in the late 70s and early 80s, Bibles were virtually non-existent in China. Dr. Yang would never have known about the Bible either had not Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and a few other English authors referred to the Holy scriptures in their literature. These minor references were enough to stir the young Dr. Yang’s interest. When he asked his teacher about the Bible he was rebuked and warned that it would be “dangerous” to inquire about that book! Dr. Yang was told that he must ask the head of the school if he really wanted to know something about the Bible, but it could get him in trouble…Dr. Yang persisted in seeking permission to have access to a Bible, all the while, he had to insist that it was for academic purposes only. Finally, the school master consented under the condition that Dr. Yang would only be allowed to have the Bible for two weeks and he must sign a paper promising to read the Bible for academic purposes only! Dr. Yang was then led to a secret room in the school, (a room he never knew existed!), in which there was a library for the books banned by the Communist government. After searching for a couple of hours, Hung Yang finally found what he was looking for in a box marked “Western Pornography”. In this box, Dr. Yang found an old, moldy, King James Bible with some missing pages which he then studied, (for academic purposes only of course!), for two weeks.

Send us Fan Mail
Jesus came to establish the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. One of the central ramifications of that accomplishment is that justice is brought to the poor and helpless. Jesus' victory over the darkness is brought to bear on the world through His people, like Debbie Gilbert who started In My Heart Ministries to help rescue and restores boys and girls that have been kidnapped into sexual slavery. You will be gripped and challenged through this interview. May it stir your heart to prayer and action.Support the show

Anna grew up in Armenia, the first nation to officially identify as "Christian". Anna's family identified as "Christian" but they didn't pray or read the Bible. In fact, when Anna wanted to learn more about Jesus, her mother refused to allow Anna to have a Bible, saying that the Bible "belongs in the church (building)". In spite of identifying as "Christian", Anna's family persecuted her for her newfound faith in Jesus, even threatening her life. In the end, however, Anna's faithful, loving, witness won the hearts of her family. This is Anna's story of salvation, forgiveness, and overcoming.Leave a Comment or ask a question:www.karlgessler.com/contactShow Your Love!

...32 min - The Gospel According To Stephen (Evangelism, The Gospel, and the Need to Speak)
Send us Fan Mail
Evangelism in the first century did not sound like evangelism in the 21st century. Why not? Why didn't Jesus ever ask people if they knew where they would spend eternity? Why didn't the disciples tell people that Jesus has made a way for them to go to heaven? In this week's podcast, Karl explores Stephen's words to the High Priest during his trial before his martyrdom. As Evangelists in the twenty-first century, should we be sounding more like Stephen?Show Your Love!

About The Faith of the Father(s) w/ Karl Gessler
From the publisher's feed
The Faith of the Father (s) is a podcast devoted to proclaiming and demonstrating the reality of Jesus Christ—risen from the dead and actively at work today, healing the sick and casting out…
demons just as He did in the Scriptures.
Rooted in the careful study of the Bible and the witness of the Church throughout history, this podcast seeks to learn from the faith of the fathers—from the earliest believers to faithful witnesses in the present day. We hold that the ministry of Jesus did not end in the Gospels, but continues through men and women indwelt by the Holy Spirit and obedient to His voice.
Hosted by Karl Gessler, The Faith of the Fathers features candid conversations with those who have walked out of deep trauma, abuse, and bondage and have found real healing in Jesus. It also includes interviews with believers who have witnessed and participated in profound works of God—miracles of healing, deliverance, salvation, and even the raising of the dead—through courageous and faithful obedience to Christ.
At its core, this podcast affirms a simple conviction: God intends to govern the world through human beings filled with His Spirit, living in truth, authority, and love. By returning to Scripture and the lived faith of the Church, The Faith of the Fathers invites listeners to know Jesus not as a distant figure of the past, but as the living Lord who continues His work today.
