We continue our unknown missionary series with Professor of Missiology James Fyffe. This time we trace the conversion and missions work of Henry Martyn (1781-1812). Henry left a life of comfort and ease in the West to labor for 6 short and meaningful years in the work of Bible translation and evangelism. His legacy is felt most today from the Middle East all the way through India where his Bibles are still being used for gospel and discipleship-centered church planting movements. Henry shows us believers what it means to burn bright for the Lord Jesus Christ, heeding the call to world missions.

Pastor Lee Ridings of Greater Hope Baptist Church in Dallas, GA joins us to share how God prepared him for the pastorate. He tells personal stories of defining battles and corresponding victories which proved God's faithfulness and sharpened his character. These make-or-break trials and seasons in Lee's life became invaluable, ultimately proving his calling. Lee encourages young ministers who are desirous to lead in a pastoral capacity, that it is a good work (I Timothy 3:1) when done in dependance on the Lord for Christ's glory alone. We end this episode with a charge in II Timothy 2:5-7 to remind church leaders to choose faith over fear, and to operate in the very love, power and sound mind promised to us in Christ.

We examine the theological framework and contradictory life of Karl Barth with Dr. Alan Shelby, Dean of the Living Faith Bible Institute. Barth was a Swiss theologian who gained popularity amongst Protestants and Catholics alike in the first half of the twentieth century. It has since been observed that Barth influenced post-war politics and the Neo-evangelical movement of the modern world. Pope Pius XII is famously quoted saying that Karl Barth is “the greatest theologian since Thomas Aquinas.” Today, we discuss why he is so highly regarded in Christendom at large and why we Bible believers should be leery of his teachings.

Marriage is a wonderful gift from God. It is the very first institution God established for mankind on earth, but if there is anything we can learn from Adam and Eve it is that it can be very difficult to stay on mission without yielding to distractions of worldly things. Even good Christian marriages can be distracted with the cares of this world and with the joys of building a family.

Thankfully, the New Testament presents us with a model marriage through the apostle Paul’s friends Priscilla and Aquila who we will be discussing. We have invited pastor Jay Schug of Community Fellowship Baptist Church of Huntsville Alabama to discuss this topic. Jay was the guest speaker at the WedStrong Retreat this year (2023) in Nashville and brings us a summary of what he presented to couples of the Living Faith Fellowship this year.
