  1. GoMission: The Harvest is Ready in Uganda (with Pastor Michael and Pastor John)

    GoMission: The Harvest is Ready in Uganda (with Pastor Michael and Pastor John)

    In this episode, Mark Gillmore reports from Uganda, where the gospel is breaking through long-standing religious strongholds and transforming lives. Through the testimonies of Pastor Michael and Pastor John, we see how God is raising up faithful men, establishing churches, and multiplying the truth across communities. Uganda is not just another mission field—it is a harvest field that is ready right now. Topics Discussed Pastor Michael’s journey from religious compromise to biblical conviction The cost of standing for truth, including rejection and excommunication The early struggles of preaching the gospel in resistant religious environments The transformation of Uganda’s spiritual landscape over the past 30 years Pastor John’s vision for training men to plant churches and reach rural communities The multiplication model of ministry based on 2 Timothy 2:2 The role of radio ministry in reaching people trapped in false religion The importance of training local leaders in their own language and context The need to prioritize doctrinal clarity over mere religious activity The urgency of laborers entering a harvest that is already ripe Key Takeaways The harvest in Uganda is not future, it is present. God is already at work drawing people to Himself. Obedience to truth may come at a cost, but it is the pathway to real fruit. Gospel advance depends on training faithful men who will teach others also. Indigenous leadership is essential for lasting, multiplying ministry. Religious activity without truth leaves people lost. Clear gospel preaching is still needed. God uses simple, faithful efforts to break through even deeply rooted strongholds. There is a real and urgent opportunity to be part of what God is doing in Uganda today. Do you have a story of gospel advance or a burden for a specific people group? We’d love to hear it.

  2. Bobby Bosler: When You Blow It

    11 APR

    Bobby Bosler: When You Blow It

    In this transparent and deeply personal episode, Bobby shares a recent failure in his own life and how God met him in Psalm 51. Through David’s repentance, he unpacks the powerful truth that our sin does not permanently stain us when it is brought under the cleansing power of Christ. This episode calls listeners to stop covering sin, to embrace God’s compassion, and to experience full restoration—not just forgiveness, but renewed joy, spirit, and usefulness. Topics Discussed Honest confession and leadership transparency The difference between justice-based mercy and covenant compassion The meaning of “wash me” and “whiter than snow” Why sin is not a permanent stain for the believer The significance of hyssop and the Passover connection The role of the blood of Christ in cleansing and restoration Renewing a right spirit vs. living in discouragement or bitterness Restoration of joy and usefulness after failure The danger of covering sin and living with a “twisted” spirit Responding to conviction like David vs. resisting like Saul Key Takeaways You are not permanently stained by your sin—God can make you “whiter than snow.” True repentance appeals to God’s love and relationship, not your worthiness. Cleansing is not just positional—it restores your joy, spirit, and usefulness. Feeling dirty after confession is a faith issue, not a forgiveness issue. A wrong spirit after sin is part of the problem God wants to fix. Covering sin compounds damage; confession opens the door to restoration. God restores you so you can be fruitful again, not just forgiven. If you’ve been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

    Faith Talks: Be the Coffee Bean

    In this Faith Talks episode, Janna and Judson Shoultz explore what it means to be a “coffee bean” in a world full of pressure. Using a simple but powerful illustration, they challenge believers not to be shaped by their circumstances, but to transform them through the life of Christ within. Through biblical examples like Joseph and Joshua, this episode shows that the very pressures you face are the opportunities God uses to make you a difference-maker. Topics Discussed The coffee bean illustration and what it represents How pressure reveals your true spiritual condition Three responses to trials: weakening, hardening, or transforming Joseph’s example of thriving in unjust circumstances Joshua and Caleb standing firm when others gave in Trusting God’s placement in difficult environments Depending on Christ to influence others Key Takeaways You are either shaped by your environment or used by God to shape it Pressure is God’s tool to reveal and refine your faith Your current situation is not a setback but a divine assignment True influence comes from Christ working through you Faith chooses to trust and act, even when it’s uncomfortable You don’t need a different situation to make a difference—you need dependence on God Faith Talks is a monthly program on the Thee Generation Podcast designed to help young ladies grow in faith and live it out daily.

    Satisfied: Twisted Passions—The Eunuch Principle

    In this episode, Ryan Swanson revisits Matthew 19 and the often-overlooked teaching of Jesus on the eunuch, bringing clarity to questions raised from the previous discussion on “Another Alternative.” Addressing confusion surrounding same-sex attraction and the absence of natural desires, he presents what he calls the “Eunuch Principle.” Rather than pushing listeners toward premature conclusions about lifelong singleness, the episode emphasizes a simple but powerful truth: singleness, in any season, is a gift meant to be stewarded for wholehearted devotion to Christ. Topics Discussed Clarifying Jesus’ teaching on eunuchs in Matthew 19 The difference between absence of desire and same-sex attraction Missteps in church culture regarding marriage expectations The concept of being “born” without typical relational desires The danger of overanalyzing one’s calling The “Eunuch Principle” explained Singleness as a gift, not a handicap Practical application for teens and young adults Trusting God’s timing in relationships and life direction Key Takeaways Not everyone is called to marriage, and that reality is acknowledged by Jesus Himself Some confusion around identity stems from lack of desire, not perverted desire The church has sometimes wrongly treated marriage as the only “successful” outcome Singleness is not a waiting room, it is a strategic opportunity You don’t need to figure out your entire life calling right now If you are single today, that is your assignment today God leads those who are already moving in obedience A life fully devoted to Christ is never wasted, regardless of future outcomes Victory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptance.

    Dr. Jim: You Will Reap

    In this episode, Dr. Jim walks through the powerful biblical principle of sowing and reaping from Galatians 6. He challenges listeners to recognize that every choice—whether spiritual or fleshly—plants a seed that will eventually produce a harvest. With both warning and encouragement, this episode calls young people to live with eternity in view by sowing to the Spirit and responding rightly when God speaks to their hearts. Topics Discussed The unchanging law of sowing and reaping Sowing to the flesh vs. sowing to the Spirit Why consequences are inevitable and often greater than expected The importance of responding to conviction from God’s Word Being “good ground” for spiritual truth How God uses believers to sow seed into the lives of others Living today with eternal impact in mind Key Takeaways Every action plants a seed, and every seed produces a harvest—no exceptions You can choose your sin, but you cannot choose your consequences Sowing to the Spirit happens through dependence on God’s Word and the Holy Spirit Receiving and responding to truth is just as important as sharing it God uses ordinary conversations and moments to produce eternal fruit The harvest may take time, but it is always certain A life surrendered to God becomes both good soil and a faithful sower If you’ve been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

  6. GoMission: A Church in Every Village (with Pastor Charles and Brother Abednego)

    GoMission: A Church in Every Village (with Pastor Charles and Brother Abednego)

    What would it look like if every village had a gospel witness? In this episode of the GoMission podcast, Mark Gillmore travels to northwest Ghana to speak with Pastor Charles and his son Abednego about a bold vision: a church in every village. After more than twenty-five years of ministry, Pastor Charles is challenging his church to make Christ’s final command their first concern by training leaders and sending workers into nearby communities. The conversation reveals how God has been preparing this moment for years. Through a network of schools established in rural villages, young people have learned to read, study Scripture, and develop leadership skills. Now many of those same individuals are stepping forward to help start churches in places where the gospel has not yet taken root. As the church prays, gives, and sends laborers, the vision is beginning to move from idea to reality. When believers are equipped and entrusted with responsibility, the gospel can spread from village to village across an entire region. Topics Discussed The vision of a church in every village Pastor Charles’ 25+ years of ministry in northern Ghana Mobilizing believers through faith-promise giving for missions Sending trained leaders to start new fellowships in nearby villages How education is preparing future gospel leaders Abednego’s work training teachers across dozens of rural schools Leadership multiplication and training others to lead The importance of giving young believers meaningful ministry opportunities Simple tools like testimonies, gospel presentations, and discovery Bible studies Trusting God to raise up laborers for the harvest Key Takeaways The Great Commission advances when churches intentionally train and send workers. Multiplying leaders is essential for reaching entire regions with the gospel. Education can play a strategic role in preparing communities to engage the Word of God. Young believers grow when they are trusted with real responsibility in ministry. With faith, vision, and multiplication, a church in every village becomes a mission worth pursuing.

  7. Bobby Bosler: Right Within Reach

    8 MAR

    Bobby Bosler: Right Within Reach

    In this episode, Bobby Bosler reflects on Psalm 46:1 and the powerful truth that God is “a very present help in trouble.” Drawing from personal Bible study and a simple illustration from everyday life, he explains how easy it is to think of God as distant when we face pressure, weakness, or distress. Yet Scripture reveals that God is not merely nearby—He is right within reach, ready to be our refuge, our strength, and the help we need in every situation. Topics Discussed Psalm 46:1 and the three descriptions of God: refuge, strength, and help What it means for God to be a refuge or safe place The different dimensions of strength God provides: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual The meaning of “help in trouble” and the kinds of distress people experience The significance of the phrase “very present help” in the Hebrew text How believers can mistakenly view God as distant in times of difficulty A practical illustration showing the difference between something being nearby and being within reach Learning to depend on God right where you are Key Takeaways God is a safe place where believers can find security and protection. The Lord provides strength for every area of life, including mental and emotional strain. In every distress or difficulty, the ultimate need is not a new solution but God Himself. Psalm 46 teaches that God is not merely close to us—He is very present, accessible, and ready to help. Believers can depend on God immediately, because He is always right within reach.

  8. Satisfied: Twisted Passions—Another Alternative!

    22 FEB

    Satisfied: Twisted Passions—Another Alternative!

    In this episode of Satisfied, the discussion continues around the question, “Was I born this way?” Rather than defaulting to the common cultural binary of heterosexual or homosexual identity, this episode explores a biblical category many have overlooked: those whom Jesus described as “born eunuchs” in Matthew 19:12. The conversation challenges assumptions about sexual desire, identity, and calling, and presents a compelling case that some individuals may be uniquely designed by God for a life of devoted, undistracted service to the King. Topics Discussed Recap of Romans 1 and the role of vain imaginations in shaping identity The difference between corruption and perversion Propensity toward sin vs. absence of sexual desire Matthew 19:12 and the three types of eunuchs Jesus describes The historical role and significance of eunuchs in ancient kingdoms The concept of intentional singleness and grace for chastity Cultural pressure equating victory with heterosexual marriage The vulnerability of those who lack sexual desire False identity formation through misplaced belonging The power of being understood in moments of isolation Reframing “born this way” through the lens of calling and purpose Viewing singleness not as deficiency, but as strategic kingdom design Key Takeaways Not every lack of heterosexual desire equals homosexual orientation. Jesus explicitly acknowledges individuals born without sexual desire. The absence of sexual desire is not a defect but may be a divine design. The church must stop presenting heterosexual marriage as the only vision of victory. Those uniquely designed for singleness may be called to powerful, focused kingdom service. Identity confusion often grows in environments where vulnerability meets misunderstanding. God does not make mistakes in design; He assigns purpose with intention. A life of undistracted devotion is not second-tier Christianity, but a high calling. Victory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptance.
