  Ep. 89 / Faith and Politics Without Illusion or Idolatry with David Koyzis

  Jul 31, 202647 minS1

  Politics can feel like a faith test right now. If you’ve ever wondered why public life pulls so many Christians toward either retreat or rage, you’re not alone and you’re not crazy for feeling the tension. In this episode we sit down with Dr. David Koyzis, a political theologian and professor whose latest book, Citizenship Without Illusions: A Christian Guide to Political Engagement, has helped evangelicals think more clearly about Christian citizenship and the limits of politics. We dig into a challenging idea: political ideologies can function like modern idolatry, offering a faux-salvation story that mimics the biblical narrative while quietly demanding our ultimate loyalty. We talk about how liberalism can turn individual autonomy into an idol that weakens community, how Marxism borrows a redemption arc with a different “messiah,” and why any movement can become spiritually dangerous when it starts carrying religious weight. From there we get practical. We explore how to develop discernment in an era of culture wars, social media polarization, and constant labeling of people as left or right. We argue for a posture of humility and listening, because the line between good and evil runs through every human heart. We also revisit Abraham Kuyper’s vision of Christ’s lordship over all of life, along with common grace and the need to make a persuasive, peaceable place at the public table rather than trying to take it over.

  Episode #88

  Ep. 88 / From Fear to Freedom in Thailand and Laos with Chansamone Saiyasak

  Jul 24, 202649 minS1

  A childhood surrounded by war, spirit worship, and the collapse of a nation can do something to your soul. It can harden you, hollow you out, or make you obsess over one question: what is real? In this episode we sit down with Dr. Chansamone Saiyasak, a missions leader in Laos and Thailand whose life story moves from the fall of Laos in 1975, to a refugee apartment in the United States, where a knock on the door led to an embrace of the Great Commission. Dr. Saiyasak shares about growing up in a world of animism and fear-based ritual, and then entering a Buddhist monastery as a young man in search of truth. Chansamone also shares the shock of arriving in America with no English, the isolation of refugee sponsorship, and the surprising kindness and welcome of Christian families who offered belonging. Hearing people weep over forgiveness and reading the words of Scripture reframed Dr. Saiyasak's identity around grace, not merit, and around God as Father, not a distant spiritual force. From there, the conversation turns practical and missiological: how do you communicate the gospel in a context where Christianity feels like a foreign power or a colonial memory? Chansamone explains why proclamation alone often fails, and why holistic ministry, education, mercy, and business-as-mission can make the message credible. He shares lessons from decades of work across Thailand and Laos, including how to build sustainable enterprises while staying grounded in vocation.

  Episode #87

  Ep. 87 / A Palestinian Pastor and Bible College in Bethlehem with Jack Sara

  Jul 17, 202629 minS1

  Bethlehem is one of the most storied places on earth, but it’s also a hometown for real families, real churches, and leaders who wake up to uncertainty and still choose to serve. In this episode we sit down with Rev. Dr. Jack Sara, president of Bethlehem Bible College, to hear what life looks like for Palestinian evangelicals who keep the faith alive in the Holy Land under intense political and economic strain. Pastor Jack shares his personal journey from Jerusalem to pastoral ministry and then into leading a growing evangelical institution located just minutes from the Church of the Nativity. We talk about the shrinking Christian presence since 1948, the complications of identity and citizenship, and what it means when evangelicals are not treated as a fully recognized denomination. Along the way, we explore how Christians have contributed to society through schools, hospitals, and community service, even as numbers decline and pressures rise. If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s hope beyond the headlines, this conversation will expand your view. If you'd like to learn more from Rev. Dr. Jack Sara you can go to the Bethlehem Bible College website and follow them on Facebook .

  Episode #86

  Ep. 86 / From Young Parliamentarian to Church Planter with Devon Rachae

  Jul 10, 202635 minS1

  He became Grenada’s youngest senator at 22, with a clear path toward national leadership, and then he walked away. In this episode we speak with, Bishop Devon Rachae, as he tells the real story behind that decision and why a call to church planting carried more weight than a seat in parliament. Bishop Rachae shares in depth reflections on Christian leadership, vocational calling, and what it costs to truly follow one's convictions and walk by faith. We also widen the lens to the Caribbean church and the work of the Evangelical Alliance of the Caribbean, where Bishop Devon now serves as president. We talk about why evangelical churches have grown through culturally vibrant worship and bold evangelism, and why that same momentum can stall when discipleship is thin. Then the conversation turns practical and sobering: hurricanes, economic shock, long-term depression after disaster, and the pressure placed on leaders and communities when homes and church buildings are lost. Bishop Devon tells us what compassionate disaster response can look like, including rapid relief efforts from Samaritan’s Purse, and why sustainable livelihood matters alongside spiritual care. If you'd like to learn more from Devon Rachae you can follow him and Agape Ministries on Facebook and check out the World Evangelical Alliance website.

  Episode #85

  Ep. 85 / Youth Missions in the Mountains of Sri Lanka with Asiri Fernando

  Jul 3, 202637 minS1

  A quiet kid from Sri Lanka ends up in pulpits all around the world, not because he wanted to be up front, but because the Word of God kept proving itself in powerful ways. In this episode we down with Pastor Asiri Fernando, a leader with Youth for Christ Sri Lanka. We trace his story from early years shaped by YFC, to a simple home and upbringing, to the greater context of a country marked by civil war and economic crisis. Along the way, Pastor Asiri shares why he believes joy is found less in affluence and more in knowing God and living close to the people you love. We get practical about Bible teaching and inductive Bible study. Asiri walks us through how he studies Scripture, from repeated reading to careful observation, interpretation in the original context, and then the toughest step: application. He explains why application requires proximity to real people and real pain, and he tells a vivid story of choosing to stay near struggling families in Sri Lanka rather than taking an easier, more comfortable path. If you care about Christian discipleship, spiritual formation, and preaching that connects with the next generation, this conversation will stretch you. If you'd like to learn more from Asiri Fernando and Youth for Christ International you can go their website , purchase his book , and follow him on social media .
