Dan Jalowiec joins us today to share his testimony of salvation and how that led to a missionary call to Zambia, Africa for him and his wife, Jan. Dan shares many ways in which he has experienced God’s grace along the way. He discovered the mission field of Zambia on his very first mission trip, after a long career with his wife Jan in optometry. Most recently, Dan and Jan have planned to return to Zambia for more focused cultural and linguistic training; this time they will be without their children who have grown and are trusting Christ in their own endeavors as they have come to maturity.

Despite being raised within a traditional baptistic theology, Pastor Andy Stanley of North Point Community Church has made many statements that depart from a simple faith in the Bible.

In this episode we examine Andy’s confusing pronouncements about Scripture and uncover how he is leading Christians away from fundamental Christian doctrine by presenting a view of faith that emphasizes anthropological and historical perspectives. In other words, Stanley adopts a skeptical approach to scripture in order to revise his evangelical faith and make it palatable to an enlightened postmodern audience. In place of Biblical authority, Pastor Stanley leads by cult of personality.

We focus the conversation on “the key of David” found in Revelation 3:7 and referenced in Isaiah 22:22. Justin explains why his father wrote the book The Keys of Bible Study and what the dangers are to not applying the Bible with a heart of love and reverence for the God of the Bible. In an age of welcoming multiple interpretations as valid, Justin explains why it is that we cannot afford to study God’s book sloppily.

In this episode Jeff Bartell, the missions pastor of First Baptist Church in New Philadelphia, OH and host of the podcast Theology Roundtable shares his missions experience in post-communist Albania. In 1992 Jeff found himself amidst a people who had never heard the gospel. He learned the language, preached the gospel and made disciples. Now that same Albanian local church God used Jeff to plant is biblically envisioned and actively reproducing local churches in other parts of the world. We discuss missions and specifically how the local church described throughout the New Testament fits God’s plan for evangelizing the lost and making disciples of Jesus Christ.
