Bobby Bosler: When You Blow It

office@minutemenministries.org (Bobby Bosler) — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 11:00:00 +0000

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.

Satisfied: Twisted Passions—The Eunuch Principle

office@minutemenministries.org (Ryan Swanson) — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 16:27:48 +0000

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.

The difference between absence of desire and same-sex attraction
Missteps in church culture regarding marriage expectations

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

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

office@minutemenministries.org (Mark Gillmore, Pastor Charles, Brother Abednego) — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 13:27:35 +0000

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.

Bobby Bosler: Right Within Reach

office@minutemenministries.org (Bobby Bosler) — Sun, 8 Mar 2026 11:42:44 +0000

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.

Satisfied: Twisted Passions—Another Alternative!

office@minutemenministries.org (Ryan Swanson) — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 03:56:19 +0000

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.

Dr. Jim: The Cure for Confusion

office@minutemenministries.org (Jim Van Gelderen) — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 03:13:51 +0000

Confusion often sets in when life takes an unexpected turn—when hurt, disappointment, opposition, or spiritual attack clouds our perspective. From Psalm 71, this episode explains that the answer is not figuring everything out but choosing to trust the Lord. Focusing on confusion only deepens it, but fixing our eyes on Christ steadies the heart because God remains sovereign over every secondary cause. True deliverance comes not through self-effort but “in thy righteousness,” as Christ’s enablement is expressed through dependent obedience and moment-by-moment reliance on Him.

Topics Discussed

Psalm 71 and the problem of spiritual confusion
How focusing on hurt, frustration, or disappointment multiplies it
Trust as the biblical cure for confusion
God’s sovereignty over secondary causes and difficult circumstances
Deliverance “in thy righteousness”
Dependent obedience and Christ’s supernatural enablement
Passive deliverance from sin’s power
Peter walking on the water as an illustration of misplaced focus
Living by continual divine intervention

Key Takeaways

What you focus on will shape your spiritual experience.
Trust displaces confusion because it rests in God’s character, not circumstances.
God is at work even when events seem contradictory or painful.
Self-dependent righteousness cannot deliver; Christ’s righteousness can.
The Christian life is lived through total surrender and total dependence.

office@minutemenministries.org (Mark Gillmore, Brother Erik) — Sat, 7 Feb 2026 12:59:24 +0000

This GoMission episode explores what happens when God shares His heart for a people and invites someone to join Him in His work. Erik recounts how God burdened him for France through prayer, compassion, and tears, long before any plans were made or steps were taken. The conversation highlights God’s active work in a spiritually dark nation and shows how shared compassion often becomes the pathway to disciple-making and lasting fruit.

Topics Discussed

What it looks like when God shares His heart for lost people
Compassion as an invitation into God’s mission
Early preparation God uses later in life
The spiritual condition of France and its searching culture
Intercession, prayer, and burden for a nation
Discovery-style Bible studies and disciple-making
Moving ministry beyond pastor-centered models

Bobby Bosler: Don't Choke!

office@minutemenministries.org (Bobby Bosler) — Sun, 1 Feb 2026 03:08:40 +0000

In this episode, Bobby Bosler warns young people about a subtle but deadly danger to a fruitful Christian life. Drawing from Jesus’ parable of the sower in Luke 8, he explains how believers can genuinely hear God’s Word, step forward in obedience, and yet still fail to bring fruit to maturity. The problem is not lack of desire, but the slow choking effect of everyday pressures, money, and pleasure-driven living.

Topics Discussed

The parable of the sower and its application to believers
What it means to “go forth” without bearing lasting fruit
How the cares of life quietly suffocate God’s calling
Riches, debt, and financial pressure as spiritual choke points
Pleasure and comfort as false motivators, even in ministry
Learning to cast care on the Lord instead of carrying it alone
Why fruitfulness requires endurance, not excitement

Key Takeaways

Obedience can be sincere and still become unfruitful if unchecked pressures dominate
Cares are unavoidable, but carrying them instead of casting them is deadly
Money can choke God’s work whether it is pursued or poorly managed
Pleasure is a terrible compass for life decisions, even spiritual ones
God’s calling flourishes in surrender and dependence, not comfort

Satisfied: Twisted Passions—Was I Born this Way?

office@minutemenministries.org (Ryan Swanson, Stephanie Swanson) — Sun, 18 Jan 2026 03:30:41 +0000

In this episode, Ryan and Stephanie Swanson address one of the most common and emotionally charged questions surrounding homosexuality: “Was I born this way?” Drawing from Scripture, personal counseling experience, and an anonymous testimony, they explain why this question often becomes a stumbling block rather than a starting point for truth. The episode emphasizes the role of thought life, cultural influence, and “vain imaginations” in shaping identity, while pointing listeners back to God’s created order and the freedom found in aligning our thinking with His truth.

Topics Discussed

Why the “born this way” question often derails meaningful gospel conversations
The influence of environment, culture, and suggestion on identity formation
An anonymous testimony illustrating how wrong thinking can take root at pivotal moments
Social media, affirmation culture, and the normalization of identity confusion
Biblical analysis of vain imaginations from 2 Corinthians 10 and Romans 1
The danger of “considering” thoughts that contradict God’s revealed truth
Practical counsel for rejecting intrusive or accusatory thoughts
God’s design for men and women and the simplicity of His created order

Key Takeaways

You are not obligated to consider thoughts that contradict what God has already made clear
Identity confusion often begins with unchecked imagination rather than conscious rebellion
Cultural affirmation does not equal moral truth
Scripture calls believers to actively cast down thoughts that oppose the knowledge of God
Freedom begins by agreeing with God, not endlessly analyzing feelings

Dr. Jim: The Letter Kills

office@minutemenministries.org (Jim Van Gelderen) — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 03:09:27 +0000

This episode addresses a tension many believers feel but rarely understand: why truth, rules, and even Scripture can feel lifeless or oppressive. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3, Dr. Jim explains that the issue is not the Word of God, but the absence of dependence on the Spirit of God. True Christianity is not self-powered obedience but Spirit-empowered life.

Topics Discussed

The meaning of “the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life”
Why truth without the Spirit produces frustration rather than transformation
How rules and standards provoke rebellion when divorced from grace
The difference between self-effort Christianity and Spirit-enabled obedience
Why the solution is not rejecting the Word, but relying on the Spirit

Key Takeaways

The Bible is never the problem; dependence on self is.
Obedience without the Spirit leads to defeat, not freedom.
The Spirit gives life to truth, enabling joyful, willing obedience.
Christianity only works when Christ Himself is the source of power.
Real freedom comes through surrender and faith, not self-discipline alone.

Faith Talks: Faith for the New Year (with Judson "Faith")

office@minutemenministries.org (Judson Shoultz, Janna Shoultz) — Sun, 4 Jan 2026 03:54:32 +0000

In this Faith Talks episode, Janna and Judson "Faith" reflect on what it means to begin a new year marked not merely by resolutions, but by genuine steps of faith. Drawing primarily from Colossians, they explain how biblical faith is rooted in knowing who God is, trusting His promises, and allowing His Word to shape daily decisions. Rather than chasing comfort or vague spiritual goals, listeners are encouraged to let Scripture dwell richly in their hearts so faith can actively walk forward in real life.

Topics Discussed

Why Colossians begins with truth before commands and how that shapes obedience
Faith as a walk grounded in God’s character, not feelings or circumstances
Letting the peace of God rule, even in uncertainty, trials, or pressure
The role of Scripture in overcoming temptation and spiritual battles
Understanding identity in Christ and resisting lies with biblical truth
Discerning God’s will through knowing His heart in His Word
Closed doors, God’s timing, and trusting Him for miraculous openings
Practical ideas like claiming verses, “I am in Christ” statements, and intentional prayer for faith steps

Key Takeaways

Faith for the new year is not primarily about goals but about obedient steps rooted in truth.
Knowing who God is precedes trusting what God asks you to do.
Scripture is essential fuel for peace, victory over temptation, and clarity in God’s will.
Believers are already complete in Christ and are called to live out that reality by faith.
A meaningful spiritual resolution is to say yes to God’s Word and walk accordingly, whatever the year may bring.

GoMission: Obedience to the Hard Places (with Brother David)

office@minutemenministries.org (Brother David, Mark Gillmore) — Sat, 27 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000

In this GoMission episode, Mark Gillmore sits down in eastern Uganda with Brother David, a Kenyan missionary serving among the Pokot and Karamajong people of the Karamoja region. Living among nomadic cattle herders in a harsh and often hostile environment, Brother David shares how God burdened his heart to bring the gospel to an unreached people group marked by violence, animism, and deep spiritual darkness. Without financial backing and with great personal sacrifice, he obeyed God’s call and has seen over 150 believers baptized and a growing local church planted in one of the hardest mission fields in East Africa.

Topics Discussed

Life and culture among the Pokot and Karamajong people
Nomadic living, cattle identity, and spiritual strongholds
Animism, spirit worship, and resistance to the gospel
Brother David’s salvation testimony and calling to missions
Obeying God without funding or institutional support
Daily evangelism and discipleship, not event-based ministry
Living with the people to reach the people
Teaching illiterate communities and oral discipleship
Baptism, church planting, and steady gospel fruit
Sacrifice, perseverance, and joy in obedience

Key Takeaways

The gospel often advances fastest in places others avoid.
Obedience to God’s call matters more than comfort, safety, or support.
True missions work is relational, daily, and deeply incarnational.
Spiritual strongholds rooted in culture require patience and discipleship, not shortcuts.
God does not need ideal conditions to build His church.
The value of a single soul outweighs personal sacrifice.

Bobby Bosler: A Selfish Christmas

office@minutemenministries.org (Bobby Bosler) — Sat, 20 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Bobby Bosler shares a simple Christmas challenge from Mark 10:45: Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. With Christmas break and “time off,” it’s easy to drift into an entitlement mindset, but Jesus’ coming calls us to a different posture. This episode urges young people to make Christmas break a season of joyful, intentional ministry at home, in the church, and in the community.

Topics Discussed

Snow culture shock: Wisconsin vs. the mountains of West Virginia
Why Mark 10:45 is a “Christmas verse” in context
The temptation of “me-first” living during breaks and holidays
Entitlement at home (parents, siblings, routines, expectations)
Serving practically in your local church during Christmas events
“Don’t be a jerk this Christmas”: choosing humility and helpfulness
Total surrender expressed through ministry that benefits “many”

Key Takeaways

Jesus had every right to be served, yet He chose to serve. Follow His example.
Christmas break is a gift, not a license to drift into selfish patterns.
The most encouraging thing you can bring home is a servant spirit.
Serving your family and church is not “extra,” it’s part of living surrendered.
A Christ-centered Christmas looks like giving yourself for the good of others.

Satisfied: Twisted Passions—How Bad is Bad?

office@minutemenministries.org (Ryan Swanson) — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 15:13:21 +0000

In this second Twisted Passions episode, the host tackles a loaded question: Is homosexuality worse than other sins? He explains why Scripture uses especially strong language about homosexuality in the Old Testament, but then emphasizes that the New Testament consistently places it in “lists of sins,” highlighting the gospel’s equal sufficiency for all sinners. The episode closes with a pastoral plea: churches often speak against homosexuality from the pulpit, but rarely speak _to_those quietly struggling in the pew, and that gap must change.

Topics Discussed

Why the question “worse” can mean different things (degree of wickedness, path of deliverance, depth of impact)
“Corruption” vs “perversion” framing (heterosexual sin vs homosexual sin)
Old Testament “abomination” language and civil penalty context (Leviticus 18, 20)
New Testament “sin lists” (Romans 1, 1 Corinthians 6, Revelation 21) and what that implies for how believers should think and minister
Gospel-centered conclusion: the blood of Christ is sufficient for “all sin,” and the church should not treat people with SSA as a different class of sinner
Pastoral application: preaching only to “defend a statement” can unintentionally build a barrier for strugglers; we need diligence, not tolerance

Key Takeaways

“Worse” has multiple layers: moral weight, deliverance process, and personal impact.
The New Testament’s emphasis is not ranking sin but spotlighting the gospel that rescues sinners.
Churches should pair biblical clarity with real pastoral care for those in the congregation who are silently battling.
Practical safeguards and wise boundaries are normal in discipleship for any besetting sin, and should not be treated as uniquely shameful here.

Dr. Jim: Faith Begins with "Thank You"

office@minutemenministries.org (Jim Van Gelderen) — Sat, 6 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000

In this episode, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen recounts a week when every vehicle he relied on broke down at once, leaving him overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward. While wrestling with the pressure of unmet needs, God used Colossians 2:6–7 to redirect his heart: the life of faith isn’t powered by human problem-solving but by abounding with thanksgiving. As Dr. Jim began thanking God for the very things that were weighing him down, peace replaced panic and God provided in unmistakable ways. His story shows that genuine faith doesn’t start when circumstances improve. Faith begins with “Thank You.”

Topics Discussed

An avalanche of vehicle breakdowns and impossible logistics
The human tendency to try to figure everything out instead of walk by faith
How Colossians 2:6–7 ties faith and thanksgiving together
The difference between thanking God for blessings and thanking Him for burdens
Why thanksgiving is an act of faith, not a feeling
How choosing gratitude transforms your spirit in the middle of difficulty
God’s surprising provision of a truck and Suburban
Why the spiritual breakthrough mattered more than the material answers

Key Takeaways

You received Christ by faith, and you walk in Him the same way: by trusting Him enough to thank Him even before the answers come.
Thanksgiving is not a reaction to good circumstances; it is the expression of faith that God is working when you cannot see how.
When you choose to say “thank You” in the middle of pressure, God lifts the weight and gives grace that changes everything.

office@minutemenministries.org (Janna Shoultz) — Mon, 1 Dec 2025 14:13:24 +0000

In this Faith Talks conversation, Janna opens up about a quiet but heavy fear many young women feel yet rarely express: the fear of wasting their lives. Through honest reflections on comparison, expectations, and the pressure to measure up, she shares how God has been reshaping her perspective. Her story offers a refreshing reminder that a life surrendered to Christ is never wasted, even when the path feels unseen or slow.

Topics Discussed

The subtle ways comparison fuels fear and insecurity
Why “falling behind” is more about perception than truth
Learning to trust God with timing, calling, and identity
How hidden seasons often become the most shaping ones
What surrender looks like when fear gets loud
Allowing God to define significance instead of culture or peers

Key Takeaways

Comparison blinds you to the quiet work of grace happening beneath the surface.
God never wastes obedience; He wastes nothing surrendered to Him.
Slow seasons are often the most formative, teaching humility, trust, and resilience.
The antidote to fear isn’t striving harder but resting more deeply in God’s faithfulness.

Bobby Bosler: Led by a Look

office@minutemenministries.org (Bobby Bosler) — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 00:19:53 +0000

In this episode, Bobby reflects on six months of pastoring and draws young people into a powerful truth from Psalm 32. God desires to lead His children with the slightest glance, not the painful pressure required for a stubborn horse or mule. Through vivid imagery and practical challenge, you’ll hear how walking closely with God creates a life guided by subtle nudges instead of force — and surrounded by His steadfast love. This is a call to live so near to Him that a simple look is enough to move your heart.

Topics Discussed

Adjusting from itinerant evangelism to long-term shepherding
The spiritual impact of “Awake ’25” and formative influences
How God leads through intimate relationship rather than force
The meaning of “I will guide thee with mine eye” in Psalm 32
The danger of spiritual stubbornness and the imagery of the bit and bridle
The process of being “broken” and why surrender requires trust
How God’s hesed — His covenant love — surrounds the yielded believer
Moving from external pressure to internal responsiveness
Practical examples of hearing God’s quiet nudges in daily life
Encouragement for young people to walk closely and obediently with God

Key Takeaways

God desires to lead you relationally, not mechanically. Intimacy makes His smallest prompt clear.
A stubborn heart forces God to use painful circumstances to get your attention; a surrendered heart responds to a whisper.
Trust is the foundation of surrender. You will not follow God’s subtle leadings unless you believe His way is good.
God’s lovingkindness surrounds those who walk near Him, protecting and guiding them in every direction.
Yielding to God daily positions you to live a life marked by His presence, His prompting, and His overflowing love.

GoMission: From Running to Planting (with Will Esayenko)

office@minutemenministries.org (Will Esayenko, Mark Gillmore) — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 21:13:51 +0000

In this GoMission episode, Mark Gillmore interviews Canadian church planter Will Esayenko, whose story traces a dramatic path from resisting God’s call to embracing a life of gospel multiplication. Will shares how he ran toward comfort, career, and security—until God used a late-night car accident to shatter his trajectory and bring him back to the call he’d received as a child. Today, he is planting and multiplying churches across the Yellowhead region of Alberta, driven by a simple conviction: when you abide in Christ, He leads you into the work He wants to reproduce.

Topics Discussed

Growing up in a Christian home and being saved young
Receiving a clear call to ministry as a child
Choosing a career path over surrender in his teen years
The car accident that exposed the emptiness of living for things
How Bible school clarified God’s call and burden for Canada
Restarting a struggling church in Hinton, Alberta
Planting a second church and embracing multiplication
Sending out your best people and the cost that comes with it
Finding identity in Christ instead of success metrics
Abiding in the Shepherd as the core of guidance and courage
Training hesitant men for ministry and pushing them forward
Walking with Christ through uncertainty and loss

Key Takeaways

Running from God’s call never brings peace; God has ways of turning you around.
Real guidance begins with a clean heart and an abiding walk with the Shepherd.
You don’t need your future perfectly mapped to step into obedience today.
Multiplication always costs something, but sending is the pathway to greater fruit.
Your identity must rest in Christ rather than ministry success or comparison.
God uses surrendered people to reach entire regions, not just individual churches.

GoMission, hosted by Mark Gillmore, is a monthly missions-focused program that introduces young people to the people, stories, and opportunities God is using around the world to build His church.

Satisfied: Twisted Passions—Should we Preach Against Homosexuality?

office@minutemenministries.org (Ryan Swanson) — Sat, 8 Nov 2025 04:37:15 +0000

Ryan launches a multi-part series, Twisted Passions, addressing homosexuality and same-sex attraction from a biblical framework. He establishes why pastors should clearly preach what Scripture says while also equipping the church to counsel and care for strugglers, and he outlines upcoming topics: Is this sin “different,” are people “born this way,” and how do we raise kids in a sexualized culture? The aim is clarity, compassion, and confident hope in Christ for real victory.

Topics Discussed

Why churches must preach plainly on homosexuality (OT & NT texts)
Common progressive rebuttals and why they don’t hold up biblically (e.g., “love = affirmation,” misuse of John 8)
Word study: ἀρσενοκοίτης and Paul’s clarity in 1 Cor 6 / 1 Tim 1
Beyond the pulpit: moving from denunciation to discipleship and counseling in the local church
Shepherding kids in a perverted culture; building a proactive family plan
Inviting listener questions/testimonies for future episodes

Key Takeaways

Scripture speaks clearly; pastors should, too—without hatred or compromise.
“Love the sinner; hate the sin” isn’t a cliché—Jesus says, “Go and sin no more.”
Paul’s terminology intentionally names male-with-male practice; it isn’t vague.
Churches must pair clear preaching with hands-on help for real people.
Parents need an intentional, early plan to disciple children amid cultural lies.

Bobby Bosler: Remembering Russell G. Young

office@minutemenministries.org (Bobby Bosler) — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 02:59:30 +0000

Bobby looks back on the life and ministry of Pastor Russ G. Young, the faithful shepherd who shaped his family, church, and calling. From a hungry youth group that exploded from ~15 teens to hundreds, to a church built—literally and spiritually—on the Word, Pastor Young modeled uncompromising preaching, Spirit-dependence, and love for souls. Bobby recounts personal moments (including sharing gratitude at Pastor Young’s bedside) and connects the story to a call for total surrender and confidence that, in Christ, we are “more than conquerors.” The episode is part remembrance and part rallying cry for young believers to say “yes” to Jesus and watch God use their lives.

The power of Spirit-anointed preaching and evangelism
Surrender, obedience, and living as “more than conquerors” in Christ

Dr Jim and Bobby Bosler: TGYS 2025 Recap

office@minutemenministries.org (Jim Van Gelderen, Bobby Bosler) — Sat, 11 Oct 2025 12:10:44 +0000

Broadcasting live from the lobby just after the close of the 2025 Thee Generation Youth Summit, Bobby and Dr. Jim reflect on a week where teens embraced total surrender and dependence—and where a public final rally saw 16–17 salvation decisions. The conversation highlights student recruiting efforts, the back-and-forth team competitions (Army edged it at the end), and the deeper theme: weakness is the doorway to Christ’s power, right now, not someday. They also note that livestreams and session recordings will be released in sequence so listeners can revisit the story God wrote this week.

Topics Discussed

Final-night rally & salvation decisions (16–17 indicated).
Teens trained and sent to recruit—overcoming fear by leaning into 2 Corinthians 12:9.
The gospel’s power when simply given.
Team competitions and a razor-close finish (Army on top).
“More than conquerors”: identity and present-tense victory in Christ.
Upcoming release of livestreams and session recordings in order.

Key Takeaways

God met teens as they stepped out in weakness; dependence became strength in action.
Evangelism is for now: teens recruited friends, and many responded to the gospel.
Friendly competition builds momentum, but the Word and the Spirit do the eternal work.
Revisit the week in sequence when the recordings drop to let the theme sink in.

Faith Talks: Fear of Missing the Right One

office@minutemenministries.org (Anna Faith Gillmore, Joanna Gillmore) — Mon, 6 Oct 2025 16:26:31 +0000

Anna Faith is newly engaged—and with her mom, Joanna, she gets honest about the fear of “missing the right one.” From PNG to answered prayers back home, they trace how God moved her from anxious timelines to quiet trust, showing that His goodness isn’t limited by place, people, or plans. This conversation gives hopeful, practical pathways to trade grasping for guidance and let God write the story.

Topics Discussed

The hidden belief: “College is the only window to meet the right guy”
Crisis of faith on the PNG trip and learning satisfaction in God
Verses that dismantled fear (1 Sam 12:24; Prov 16:9; Matt 6:33; Isa 55:8–9; Ps 34:8; Prov 3:5–6; Isa 62:4–5)
How family counsel and parental involvement guided next steps
The providential “Jonathan” connection and praying through uncertainty
Guardrails against desperation dating
Waiting without manipulation: letting God make the introductions
What to do with a God-given desire for marriage
Specific prayer requests, looking for light, and following peace

Key Takeaways

God’s goodness is not theoretical—it’s traceable. Track His works and let truth replace fear when feelings surge.
Desire for marriage is God-made, but timing is God-led. Seek Him first; let Him realign desires and pace the path.
You can’t miss God’s will while you’re trusting God. Pray specifically, obey immediately, and watch Him open the right doors.
Don’t marry out of desperation. Security comes from Christ’s sufficiency, not from forcing a relationship.
Scripture answers fear in real time. Keep a running list of verses God gives you and revisit them when doubts return.

Satisfied: Are We Called to Purity? (featuring an interview with Charlie Kirk)

office@minutemenministries.org (Ryan Swanson, Charlie Kirk) — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 14:25:25 +0000

Ryan wrestles with a piercing question sparked by Charlie Kirk’s testimony: Are we actually called to purity—or is purity the assumed condition of a life on mission for Christ? Drawing from Kirk’s own words about victory over pornography and Psalm 97:10, Ryan reframes purity not as an end in itself but as the necessary overflow of loving Jesus and pursuing His calling with focus.

Topics Discussed

Purity vs. purpose: which is the calling and which is the condition
Lessons from Charlie Kirk’s testimony and focus
The danger of letting the “fight for purity” become a lifelong distraction
Practical safeguards (accountability, tech tools) in their proper place
Psalm 97:10 and hating evil as an expression of loving God
Moving from abstinence-mindset to satisfaction in Christ
Simultaneously growing in purity while stepping into God’s mission

Key Takeaways

Purity is not the destination; it’s the runway for a Spirit-led life on mission.
A life that can “comfortably accommodate” impurity is misaligned with calling.
Tools and accountability help, but transformation flows from loving Christ first.
Get on mission now; don’t postpone obedience until you feel “fully pure.”
As love for Christ increases, purity increases—because there’s more of you reserved for Him.

Over a thousand public responses and the power of clear calls to action
Why declarations of faith drew the loudest cheers

Key Takeaways

Clarity resonates. The gospel cuts through politics and emotion when spoken plainly.

Decisions need discipleship. QR codes and follow-up show faith steps matter.
Now is the time. Delayed obedience is disobedience—urgency defines a bold gospel witness.

office@minutemenministries.org (Ayi Cira Masenzio, Mark Gillmore) — Sat, 13 Sep 2025 11:00:00 +0000

In this GoMission episode, Mark Gilmore sits down in Uganda with Ayi Cira Masenzio, a man once devoted to Catholic tradition and alcohol, but transformed by the power of the gospel. Saved through the simple preaching of Matthew 11:28, he was called of God to cross into South Sudan as a missionary. Since then, he has planted twenty-seven churches, discipled leaders, and experienced God’s miraculous protection through ambushes, arrests, and even landmines.

The simple model of discipleship, fasting, and prayer that led to multiplication

Every new church planted is an act of faith that requires courage.

Bobby Bosler — Beyond the Checklist

office@minutemenministries.org (Bobby Bosler) — Fri, 5 Sep 2025 19:45:41 +0000

Many young people measure their Christianity by boxes checked and rules kept. In this episode, Bobby Bosler challenges that mindset with the words of Jesus: “But I say unto you.” Victory in the Christian life is not about religion or outward conformity, but about walking with the living Christ in daily dependence and surrender.

Topics Discussed

What it really means to be “more than a conqueror” in Christ
The danger of checklist Christianity and outward conformity
How Jesus corrected shallow interpretations of God’s law
The difference between religion and relationship
Listening to the Spirit’s voice in daily life
Yielding to Christ in practical moments (family, ministry, soul winning)

Key Takeaways

Jesus didn’t save you to lose—He saved you to live as a conqueror through His power.
A checklist mentality leads to dead religion; true Christianity flows from relationship with Christ.
Obedience is not about outward compliance but inward surrender to Jesus.
The Spirit of God actively corrects, leads, and guides believers—if we are listening.
Dependence on Jesus enables victory in habits, prayer, soul winning, and God’s will.

Faith Talks: Fear of the Mirror

office@minutemenministries.org (Janna Shoultz) — Sat, 30 Aug 2025 16:21:10 +0000

Janna Faith tackles the anxiety many girls feel about appearance and self-image, showing from Scripture that true beauty starts on the inside. Drawing on Ezekiel 16, 1 Peter 3, and 1 Timothy 2, she contrasts trusting in outward beauty with trusting the Lord, exposes common “mirror myths,” and offers practical steps to grow inner character. The episode closes with heart-searching questions that move listeners from comparison to Christ-centered confidence.

Topics Discussed

God’s view of beauty (Ezekiel 16; “trusting in your own beauty” vs. trusting God).
“Mirror myths,” such as What you see is who you are, What you see is what others see, “If I don’t look good enough, I’ll never get married.”
Biblical modesty and insecurity signals (1 Timothy 2:9) and inward adornment (1 Peter 3:3–4).
Comparison traps and imitating others vs. living God’s unique design for you.
Beauty’s brevity vs. character’s permanence; cultivating virtues like faith, mercy, love, and joy.
Reflection questions to redirect focus from appearance to Christlike character.

Key Takeaways

Beauty isn’t bad—idolatry is. God delights to beautify His people, but trusting in beauty derails the heart.
Inner virtue = true value. Character, not cosmetics, is what lasts and what people ultimately experience.
Comparison kills contentment. Stop copying others; embrace who God made you to be and the mission He’s given you.
Modesty communicates security. Immodesty often signals inner emptiness; a meek and quiet spirit is precious to God.
Grow the inside on purpose. Pray specific prayers to develop faith, mercy, love, and joy—and talk about things that matter.

Faith Talks is a monthly program on the Thee Generation podcast designed to help young ladies discover greater ways to nurture and exercise their faith in their day-to-day walk with Christ. To leave a question for the Faith Twins or our guest, send an email to faithtalks@theegeneration.org.

office@minutemenministries.org (Ryan Swanson) — Mon, 25 Aug 2025 12:03:07 +0000

Ryan Swanson introduces The Cord 2.0, highlighting two big additions—Check‑In Streaks (consistency‑focused medals) and bi‑weekly 3‑minute devotional challenges—and explains why accountability tools are meant to lead us to Jesus, not replace Him as the answer. He also unpacks motivations (relationships, ministry, family) and shows how these secondary motives should funnel us back to Christ as the true source of purity and victory. You’ll also hear a refresher on The Cord’s core features like daily 1–10 check‑ins, 90‑second video reflections, and the SOS button rooted in Ecclesiastes 4:10 (never alone).

Topics Discussed

Why The Cord exists: daily light and never‑alone accountability (Ecc. 4)
How daily 1–10 check‑ins + 90‑sec videos keep it sustainable
SOS button: instant “I’m not alone” signaling during temptation
The Cord 2.0 Feature #1 – Check‑In Streaks (consistency over “purity streaks,” with medals at 7/30/100 days and beyond)
The Cord 2.0 Feature #2 – Bi‑weekly 3‑minute devotional challenges (trusted preachers; keeps groups Christ‑focused)
Motivation vs. the Answer: letting strong motives lead you to Jesus, not replace Him

Key Takeaways

Accountability is a means, not the end; Jesus is both the end and the means of purity.
The Cord 2.0’s Check‑In Streaks reward consistency, closing the “skip‑a‑bad‑day” loophole and keeping daily light on your heart.
Short, bi‑weekly devotionals inject life and keep the focus on Christ so groups don’t drift into a “dry confessional booth.”
The SOS button helps you refuse isolation: you’re known, prayed for, and expected to give account—tonight.

GoMission: Praying for Disciples, Not Just Decisions (with Ben Stoeckmann)

office@minutemenministries.org (Ben Stoeckmann, Mark Gillmore) — Sun, 10 Aug 2025 03:22:40 +0000

In this GoMission episode, Mark Gilmore sits down with BCM senior Ben Stoeckmann to reflect on his seven-week internship in Grenada. From curvy mountain roads to palm-lined beaches, Ben’s journey was filled with gospel opportunities—three Cola Clash–style youth outreaches, preaching in multiple communities, and connecting with local believers. Yet, the greatest lesson came not from the events themselves, but from what followed: the urgent need to pray for and invest in disciples, not just decisions. Through firsthand experiences and the example of national pastor Jeremy Scott, Ben shares how intentional, life-on-life ministry can break strongholds and multiply lasting fruit.

Topics Discussed

Location, culture, and spiritual climate of Grenada
Internship under national pastor Jeremy Scott
Three Cola Clash–style youth outreaches in Victoria, Chantimelle, and Mount Rich
Overcoming challenges of rainy season and cultural differences
Spiritual strongholds: works-based religion, drinking, immorality, and subtle animism

The importance of praying for disciples as fervently as for salvation decisions
Pastor Scott’s “life-on-life” discipleship model
Applying disciplemaking principles both overseas and in the U.S.
Ben’s personal call to missions and growing burden for the Hispanic world

Key Takeaways

Salvation decisions are only the starting point; true Great Commission work requires making disciples.
Prayer for discipleship should be just as urgent and intentional as prayer for conversions.
Life-on-life investment—sharing ministry and everyday moments—is essential for spiritual growth.
Cultural openness to the gospel does not eliminate the need to address deep-rooted spiritual strongholds.
The principles of effective disciplemaking overseas are just as vital to practice at home.

Reflecting on the recent passing of his prayer-warrior mother-in-law, Dr. Van Gelderen weaves together personal testimony, scriptural truth, and vivid illustrations to show how spiritual authority flows from surrender.

Bobby Bosler: A Big Step Forward (BIG ANNOUNCEMENT)

office@minutemenministries.org (Bobby Bosler) — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 00:43:33 +0000

Episode Summary

In this very special episode, Bobby Bosler shares an exciting announcement and a deeply personal journey of faith. Speaking from Matthew 14, he draws parallels between Peter’s step out of the boat and the major life change God has led him and his family into — accepting the call to pastor Fellowship Baptist Church in Fairmont, West Virginia.

Closed doors are part of God's guidance. The lack of peace about repairing or replacing the trailer was God's way of preparing the Bosler family for a completely new direction.
Gifting doesn't limit God's calling. Even as an evangelist, Bobby discovered that God could use him to pastor and shepherd a local church, showing that God's calling often stretches us beyond our assumptions.
Obedience leads to peace. When Bobby and his wife yielded to the possibility of pastoring, God flooded their hearts with undeniable peace and clarity.
A big step of faith inspires others. Just like Peter's step inspired worship in the boat, your obedience can ripple out to encourage others to trust and follow Christ.

Revival Every Day

Jesus IS the Gift

office@minutemenministries.org (Bobby Bosler) — Sat, 24 Dec 2016 02:20:00 +0000

During the mad rush of last minute Christmas shopping, millions are still trying to find the ultimate gift. But is that gift a gift you eat, or a gift you wear, or even a gift that you drive? In today’s podcast, Bobby Bosler explains that the best gift is actually gift you live.

This holiday season, instead of seeking victory, peace, or power, recognize that God has already given you all of those things in Jesus. Just as no one would ever leave presents unopened under the tree, so should we not leave God's great gift unopened—Jesus Himself.

Seeking the Presence of God

office@minutemenministries.org (Jim Van Gelderen) — Sat, 17 Dec 2016 13:55:00 +0000

Are you making a difference? As you have probably learned, each day lived without meeting with Jesus is empty and meaningless. In today’s podcast, Dr. Jim explains the importance of God’s presence and how each of us can know we have it.

Seeking God's face is not only important, it's critical. 1 Chronicles 16:11 tells us we should be seeking His face "continually." Though we all know we should be seeking after God, how to do it sometimes eludes us. Today's podcast offers two simple steps to seeking and finding God's presence every day.
