How do you feel about this Administration?

The vast majority of Americans feel glad about so many of the good results we keep seeing from 47 thus far, and that's exactly what we all voted for.

All real reborn Christians must have love for their neighbors in this Land and ones outside but we don't need to act unwisely. We must show respect to all people, but never act foolishly putting citizens  in danger. We must daily also show genuine respect to people and have respect for the laws that don't go against the Bible; neither should negate the other. It starts with prayer for them, for out enemies, and for our leaders on both side of the isle. 


If a country doesn't have borders then how can it possibly remain a real country? Borders are boundary lines that demarcate a country’s domain. The question of whether countries should have borders is complex and multilayered.

Borders do matter! Decent laws and enforcing those laws matter as well. 

Without them, a nation loses its identity, authority, and the ability to protect its people. Yet, Scripture shows us a higher calling: borders are not just lines on a map—they are part of God’s divine design. Paul reminds us in Acts 17:26, “From one man [God] made all the nations… and He marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.” God Himself establishes order and distinction, setting the stage for both security and stewardship.

Consider Israel. When entering the Promised Land, God meticulously outlined territories (Numbers 34:1–12; Joshua 1:4). These boundaries preserved the nation’s identity as His chosen people (Deuteronomy 7:6; Leviticus 20:26) and ensured justice, governance, and economic order. Borders were practical—they prevented chaos, clarified authority, and protected against conflict with neighbors, from Egypt to Babylon (Exodus 14:5–9; 2 Kings 25:10-11; Amos 1:13). When Jerusalem’s walls were rebuilt under Nehemiah, the principle was clear: protection and security are intertwined with God’s provision (Nehemiah 1–7).

Yet, God’s law balances protection with His compassion. Israel was commanded to care for foreigners: “Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt” (Leviticus 19:33–34; Deuteronomy 10:19). Rahab and Ruth remind us that outsiders can be woven into God’s story (Joshua 6:22–27; Ruth 4:13–22). Foreigners shared in worship, festivals, justice, and inheritance (Exodus 20:10; Deuteronomy 16:11,14; Ezekiel 47:22–23)—yet Israel maintained spiritual distinction (Leviticus 18:1–5; 20:26). Borders didn’t close hearts; they clarified identity and purpose.

Today, border debates in America echo this ancient tension. Immigration, economic pressures, and security concerns raise real challenges. Scripture calls us to balance sovereignty with mercy. A nation can—and should—protect itself while showing empathy, care, and justice to those seeking refuge. True biblical wisdom lies not in extremes but in harmony: uphold boundaries for order, safety, and identity, while extending God’s compassion to the stranger.

In practice, this means pursuing policies and actions that honor both truth and grace. Protect the community. Maintain laws. Ensure fairness. But never have a hard heart, losing the human mindset and touch of compassion—the heart that reflects the Christ Jesus of the Bible. As John Piper often reminds us: "God’s justice and mercy walk hand in hand." 

Up on the Cross at Calvary, people saw God the Father's perfect justice and love! 

As Billy Graham used to teach, nations ought to thrive not by shutting hearts, but by acting in righteousness with all peoples.

Borders are more than geography—they are God-ordained instruments of order, protection, and moral responsibility. How we manage them reveals whether we live as His people: firm in principle, yet compassionate in practice.

Do you have some Muslim Questions?


The U.S. facts are in — not rumors, not speculation — real facts.

Honestly, what’s coming to light is beyond belief. Americans are waking up to just how deeply they’ve been taken advantage of by political leadership that should have been protecting them, not draining them.

From questionable spending to policy decisions that put everyone else first except U.S. citizens, people are fed up. Whether it’s border failures, foreign interests being prioritized, or incidents like Rep. Waltz raising concerns about Somali-linked influence and internal threats, regular Americans see the pattern: we pay the taxes — others get the benefits.

So many other nations are getting supported by our tax dollars instead of Americans.

Americans have been constantly footing the bill while corruption, waste, and favoritism flourish at the top. And after years of this, the public frustration isn’t just emotional — it’s logical. Something has to give. Accountability must return to American government.

Because a nation cannot survive if its own citizens are treated as trash in a dumpster and as an afterthought.

Why Some Alternative Media Groups Keep Getting It Right When Legacy Outlets Intentionally Refuse To

For years, Americans trusted the evening news. Not anymore. Something changed. Big Tech and legacy press outfits speak with remarkable uniformity — same headlines, same narratives, same omissions. Meanwhile, sites once dismissed as “fringe,” like The Gateway Pundit, often break stories first — especially those that challenge the political establishment.

Why does it feel like independent journalism is landing truth while corporate media recites talking points?

The pattern is getting harder to ignore.

Elon Musk said it plainly when addressing government–tech collusion:

“The degree to which various government agencies effectively had full access to everything that was going on… blew my mind.”

And when Musk released the Twitter Files, Americans didn’t speculate — they saw emails, directives, and backchannel requests from agencies pressuring platforms to suppress certain stories and amplify others. Those weren’t rumors. They were documents.

Trust in media has collapsed. Gallup polling shows confidence in newspapers and TV news now sits near record lows, with trust in legacy media dropping below 30% nationwide in recent years. That isn’t a belief — that’s data.

At the same time, alternative outlets grow rapidly because they publish what corporate news avoids. Whether you agree with The Gateway Pundit or not, many Americans say they report what others refuse to touch. People aren’t turning to new media because they’re radical — they’re turning because they’re tired of being gaslit.

Look at the landscape:

• Stories about government overreach? Often ignored until whistleblowers force the issue.
• Questions about election integrity? Labeled “dangerous” instead of investigated.
• Corruption inside federal agencies? Slow-walked. Buried. “Under review.”
• Accountability? Endless hearings. No outcomes.

Even the White House, in tense press briefings, has been asked directly whether tech platforms coordinate with government messaging. The answers often dance, dodge, or redirect. Americans notice that too.

So, why the gap?

Big Tech profits from control. Legacy media profits from access. Political power prefers compliance. But citizens profit from truth — and truth is leaking out through cracks they can’t seal fast enough.

The facts are landing where people least expected — not from polished anchors or billion-dollar studios, but from investigative outsiders willing to take heat.

Call it what you like:

• institutional rot
• coordination
• ideological capture
• political protectionism

But one thing is clear: Many Americans feel very ripped off — not because they’re imagining it, but because they’ve watched it happen.

And no amount of censorship, corporate messaging, or “expert narrative” will make people unsee what they’ve seen.

Doge facts are in and it's absolutely beyond belief. Horrendous how Democrats have ripped us off? Look what happened with our leader. Waltz and the somalis recently. Were constantly getting ripped off as American citizens and it needs to be made right?.

The facts are simply in — not rumors, not speculation — facts.

And honestly, what’s coming to light is beyond belief. Americans are waking up to just how deeply they’ve been taken advantage of by political leadership that should have been protecting them, not draining them.

Western nations are collapsing. They're in free fall. The leaders are destroying them faster than we ever could have imagined, but conservative Americans are letting their voices be heard against all the evil trying to take down America as well. Liberals, why can't the American citizens (instead of strangers from other nations) have protection and a advocate (honest representation) in the White House? American tax dollars have been ripped off by liberals and rinos for decades. 

Our elections have been corrupt and there needs to be some consequences or it will continue on as it has. It's the rich elite globalists that want no borders. They deserve to go to jail after the covid crisis. The vast majority of Americans voted Donald John Trump in, And yet he got ripped off and Americans got ripped off too with an install low IQ Biden. 

President Trump is doing a very good job (We voted for what he's doing the majority in the USA did) in spite of the people that don't like his blunt speech at times. The rino Republicans and Democrats and other liberals around the world that hear things they don't like actually deserve far more honest accountability with consequences than what they get from him. Reword this well. 

Western nations are facing a rapid moral and cultural decline, they're collapsing and it's been accelerated by leadership decisions that seem disconnected from the well-being of their own citizens. In the United States, countless conservative voices continue to speak out, committed to protecting the nation from harmful policies and preserving the values that built this country.

There’s a deep frustration when Americans see their tax dollars wasted, their concerns dismissed, and political elites appearing more motivated by global interests than by protecting the people they were elected to serve. Voters want genuine representation—leaders who put the safety and prosperity of American citizens first.

While political opinions differ, a significant number of Americans believe that Donald Trump has fought for accountability, stronger borders, and a government that answers to its people. Despite his direct manner of speaking—which some find abrasive—his supporters admire his willingness to confront corruption and call out hypocrisy in both major parties.

The heart of the message is this: citizens deserve honest leadership, transparent elections, consequences for proven wrongdoing, and a government that serves its own people rather than powerful elites. Americans expect better—and they’re determined to make their voices heard.

If you'd like, I can tailor this further depending on whether you want it to sound more like a speech, an editorial article, or a social media post.

The facts are in, and now there needs to be consequence results, Pam Bondi (she's merely been picking low-hanging fruit but no high profile corrupt politician leading the marching band has gone to prison). 

We pay taxes. Why can't we have honest representation instead of stupid investigations that lead to nowhere by the controlled opposition Rino leaders.

We've been ripped off as Americans. We've had so many stupid investigations that bring no consequences here. Rino Republicans love to say we're having investigations but they are controlled opposition that are actually helping Democrats many of them. Real conservatives who are working for the people are few and outnumbered now weave it in and quit playing liberal.

The facts are really in at this time.

The Legacy Media has lost the trust of millions of Americans — not because of “beliefs,” but because people have watched patterns unfold firsthand. The facts are in. The reports, testimonies, leaked documents, whistleblowers, and investigative findings from multiple credible sources point to years of waste, corruption, and misuse of authority at the highest levels. Americans are exhausted from endless hearings, investigations, and committee meetings that expose wrongdoing but end with no consequences.

Social Security funds have been mismanaged, agencies like the IRS, CIA, and FBI have faced scandals, partisan targeting, and internal corruption — with firings, resignations, and whistleblower claims proving the issues run deep. Many feel the so-called “deep state” has interfered with elections, slowed or blocked Trump appointments, and weaponized the justice system. President Trump has endured investigations, impeachments, and court battles unprecedented in modern politics — and his supporters view much of it as politically motivated harassment rather than justice.

Meanwhile, establishment Republicans — the RINOs — hold investigations that lead nowhere. They talk tough on TV, fundraise off outrage, then quietly protect the very system voters want cleaned out. Controlled opposition is the phrase many are using, because the pattern keeps repeating: lots of hearings, no accountability. Real representatives who fight for the people are heavily outnumbered.

The call is simple: Americans deserve transparency, consequences for proven corruption, and leadership that serves the citizens rather than global elites. Enough investigations without action. Enough corruption without accountability. It’s time for truth, reform, and leaders who answer to the people — not to lobbyists, not to foreign interests, and not to the political ruling class.

Legacy news media is constantly gaslighting and giving us false information cuz the people are actors, merely actors getting paid off to put forth the liberal agenda. 

The Doge facts are in And other credible facts as well.  It's now what we know has happened. 

The facts have come to us from multiple legitimate sources that are very credible in America.. that Americans have been getting ripped off by our own leaders. 

There's been a lot of corruption in a lot of our three-letter agencies like the IRS the CIA the FBI etc. A whole lot of people have been legitimately and deservingly fired and even more people deserve to be fired that are part of the deep state. 

The horribly smelling Deep State Swamp needs to be drained a lot quicker and illegal aliens need to be deported all of them quicker.

They've held up all of Donald Trump's appointments longer than has happened with any other president. they've impeached him and pulled him into court so many times because they are evil people, criminals and some of them are treasonous that deserve to be hanged and other presidents have hanged traders before. Many judges need to be impeached. Clinton and criminal Obama who was spying on Trump deserved to be thrown in jail and their judges. They put in need to be impeached cuz they are corrupt. The Deep state needs to be abolished and imprisoned.

The Legacy Media (The main news platforms, even the so-called conservative Fox News) has lost All credibility. 

They have lost the trust of millions of Americans — not because of “beliefs,” but because people have watched patterns unfold firsthand. The facts are in. The reports, testimonies, leaked documents, whistleblowers, and investigative findings from multiple credible sources point to years of waste, corruption, and misuse of authority at the highest levels.

The Gateway Pundit And other alternative news from citizen to citizen..

They Keep Getting It Right When Legacy Outlets Don’t

Americans have been ripped off — not because they’re imagining it, but because they’ve watched it happen. It's been clearly illegitimately uncovered.

And no amount of censorship, corporate messaging, or “expert narrative” will make people unsee what they’ve seen.

Because a nation cannot survive if its own citizens are treated as an afterthought. American England and Germany and Belgium and France. They're collapsing. There's way too many rapes and rip-offs and lies from the leaders.

Western nations are collapsing before our eyes. 

Today I'd add an alarming rate never seen before. They're in free fall. The leaders are destroying them faster than we ever could have imagined, but conservative Americans are letting their voices be heard against all the evil trying to take down America as well. Liberals, why can't the American citizens (instead of strangers from other nations) have protection and a advocate (honest representation) in the White House?

I say that President Trump is doing a very good job, but keep our focus deadbolted on Jesus Christ (Hey, we voted for what he's doing the majority in the USA did) in spite of the people that don't like his blunt speech at times. The rino Republicans and Democrats and other liberals around the world that hear things they don't like actually deserve far more honest accountability with consequences than what they get from him.

How should a Christian view all these bad things happening in our world and politics?

When you see bad things happening in your culture, it's because (citizens or non-citizens) voted the wrong way.. or an ungodly leader was installed.

When you see really terrible things happening in your culture, it's because people love darkness rather than light.

Is your country under judgment? It is a good day to repent of sin and pray.

"And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.” John 3:19-20

When a nation begins to crumble, when a society begins to collapse, it isn’t merely a political problem—it’s a spiritual one too. 

The real spiritual sickness beneath every broken culture is a rejection of the Light. Jesus declared, “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil” (John 3:19). 

Every moral decline or crash is rooted in that truth. When people turn away from God and the Word of God ..the dark shadows lengthen over the land.

As Vance Havner once warned, “At the rate we are going, we will soon reach the point where sin is a crime and crime is not.” When a society celebrates what God condemns, it’s because hearts have grown calloused to His voice. The apostle Paul described it perfectly: “Although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him… their foolish hearts were darkened” (Romans 1:21).

Leadership reflects on the people’s loves. When citizens chase after idols—i.e., power, money, pleasure, or self—God often allows leaders into power who mirror those same desires. 

Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” 

Terrible things happen in cultures that have turned their backs on God and his written truth in the Bible, because they have flat-out loved the darkness more than the light.

Yet even in the night, God still calls His regenerated Christians to shine. “You are the light of the world,” Jesus said, “a city set on a hill cannot be hidden” (Matthew 5:14). We are not called to focus on or curse at the darkness but to carry the flame. 

“A lighthouse does not fight the darkness; it just shines.”Charles Spurgeon 

George Barna’s recent research reveals that only about 6% of Americans today hold a biblical worldview—meaning that for 94%, decisions are made without the anchor of Scripture.

Can you hear Isaiah’s words echoing across our Land and headlines: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness” (Isaiah 5:20). But there’s real hope in Jesus Christ, as we turn to Him one by one—because God still preserves a remnant here.

“The only reason we don’t have revival is because we are willing to live without it.” Leonard Ravenhill

True spiritual awakening and revival for believers begins not in the White House, but in God’s house. It begins when one heart repents and believes in Jesus.. and starts to walk humbly before God according to the word.

Think about that old hymn that reminds us, “Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.” 

When believers fix their eyes on Christ and live out truth with courage, those of this culture will take notice. Light doesn’t argue with darkness—it simply shines and exposes it.

“God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.” John Piper 

That satisfaction from having a close relationship of obedience in Christ becomes a bright torch in an ever-growing, darker world. 

Jesus is the ultimate Solution for people, no matter the problem

The cure for cultural collapse isn’t political revolution, but a spiritual awakening that spawns revival..even renewal here. Revival begins when one soul at a time steps out of the shadows on into the Light—“For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light” (Ephesians 5:8). Have you done that yet? What are you waiting for?

No religion or cult can overcome the light. Darkness can’t overcome the Light—it never has, and it never will (John 1:5). So let’s not fear the night; let’s shine until the dawn breaks.

Be prayerful. I do like to expose bad policies and lawbreakers that are putting others in danger. God's word addresses this cuz God is love and love.. always protects.

It's a good day to be a witness and give witness for Christ. Today, I'm not going to put off thinking about changing the world that's sliding down a slippery slope, I'm just going to focus on the Lord and changing my world ..assisting one person at a time today. Who can I pray for, help.. who can I personally bless like in a tangible way today?

Funny thing is—if we all walk with the Lord and do His will—the world around us will change.

Got some work. How do you like your career or job? 65% of Americans are satisfied with their work, and only about 20% are “passionate” about what they do.

 "..then Sanballat and Geshem sent a message to me, saying, 'Come, let us meet together at Chephirim in the plain of Ono.” But they were planning to harm me. So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?” Nehemiah 6:2-3 nasb

Did they all feel like doing the work on that wall? It sure was very necessary -- it was God's will.  

Stay on the Wall Bro — Let's Do Work That Protects People and Honors God

I will pray for you if you need some employment. 

Whatever your task, if you are serving the Lord where you are, you are doing a great work for God. Whether you greet guests at the church door, lead worship in song, guide children in truth, or labor quietly behind the scenes, your faithfulness is sacred. God’s measure of greatness is not position but obedience.

“It is required in stewards that one be found faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2). The world may rank work by importance, but heaven weighs it by devotion. Martin Luther once said, “The maid who sweeps her kitchen is doing the will of God just as much as the monk who prays—not because she may sing a Christian hymn as she sweeps, but because God loves clean floors.”

Nehemiah knew this truth well. When his enemies tried to distract him from rebuilding Jerusalem’s wall, he refused to come down. “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down” (Nehemiah 6:3). His strength was not pride but purpose. God’s work deserves our undivided heart.

Paul echoed the same spirit: “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men” (Colossians 3:23). Work becomes worship when done for God’s glory. Whether in ministry, at home, or in the marketplace, your labor can become an altar of praise.

Work is also a means of love—toward family and others. “If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith” (1 Timothy 5:8). Diligence is not drudgery when seen as stewardship; it’s an act of worship.

Charles Spurgeon reminded, “To a man who lives unto God, nothing is secular, everything is sacred. He puts on his workday garment and it is a vestment to him.”

So keep building. Keep serving. Don’t come down from your wall until the work is done. You may not see all the fruit, but the Lord does. “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9).

Work for His glory. Provide for those you love. Finish your race with joy, knowing that in the Lord, “your labor is not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:58). Ask God what you are called to do after getting right with Him through Christ. 

What is Christian tentmaking?

What is vocational ministry?

Where did Paul learn to be a tentmaker?

How can I know if I have received a call to ministry?

What sort of careers can a Christian consider?

Does the Bible make a distinction between the secular and the sacred work?

What is a timeline of Paul's life?

What does the Bible say about workaholism? Let's not make an idol of our work or of anything?

What is a bi-vocational pastor?

Who were Priscilla and Aquila?

What is really this “tentmaking” in ministry?

How can I overcome ministry burnout? 

What does the Bible say about fatigue? 

What does the Bible say about burnout? 

Where/how do you draw the line between helping someone and working too much. 

What the data says — Hey, you’re not alone

You asked how many people end up in careers they didn’t primarily want, or stay in jobs that aren’t their preference. While few studies ask exactly that in Christian ministry vs secular work terms, there are data on job satisfaction and related mismatch, which speaks to what you’re describing.

  • A 2024 Pew Research Center study shows about 50% of U.S. workers say they are extremely or very satisfied with their job overall. Another ~38% are “somewhat satisfied,” and ~12% are not much satisfied with their work situation. PewResearch 

  • Another source says about 65% of Americans are satisfied with their work, and only about 20% are “passionate” about what they do.  

  • Among those least satisfied are the areas of pay, opportunity for promotion, recognition, flexibility, etc. PewResearch 

So yes — a large share of people work in jobs that are okay, or tolerable, or even good in many respects, but only a small proportion feel they are doing exactly what they would ideally choose, or are living out their highest calling every day.


The spiritual & emotional side

What you describe — feeling anger, grief, loss over the path you didn’t choose, and even feeling like your ministry is limited — is very human, and in many traditions fairly common. If I may, some Biblical and spiritual reflections:

  • God’s plans are not always the same thing as our plans. Joseph in the Old Testament didn’t think he would be sold into slavery, but God used that to save many. Paul’s missionary journeys were not always his own choosing, but Paul on these trips was instrumental in the growth of the early church. Sometimes God’s “yes” is behind paths we didn’t foresee.

  • Our identity in Christ does not ultimately depend on what we are “doing” externally, but who we are in him, how we love, how we bear witness, how we serve. Blogging, audio teaching, caring for people — these are valuable ministries.

  • Many people God used deeply were lay people, not full-time preachers. Your job in hospitality might give you ways to show Christ’s love in tangible ways: kindness to guests, moral integrity, encouragement to coworkers; maybe even sharing your faith in small conversations. That matters.


How can you, with God's grace, better cope, moving forward, while finding hope

Need some practical and spiritual steps that may help:

  1. Grieve & accept
    It’s okay to feel disappointed. Give yourself space to grieve what you thought your life would look like. Accepting reality doesn’t mean giving up; it means freeing your energy to work with what you do have.

  2. Reframe what “ministry” means
    You don’t have to stand at a pulpit to serve or preach. Ministry can be through writing, through hospitality, through photography, through caring for someone in need, mentoring, prayer, small group teaching, or hospitality to strangers. God sees those.

  3. Set realistic, measurable goals
    For blogging / audio blog:

    • How many posts or episodes per month can you commit to?

    • What topics? Who specifically do you want to reach?

    • How will you share those posts? Social media, church newsletter, etc.

  4. Learn some skills you’ll need: audio recording/editing, writing, how to reach an audience online, managing a small content calendar. These take time, but can increase your confidence and impact.

  5. Find a community
    Connect with others who do similar ministry (bloggers, lay-teachers, etc.). Not only for encouragement, but also for accountability, shared learning, maybe even collaboration.

  6. Do small steps in speaking
    Even if you’re not “invited” formally, see if you can speak to small groups in your church, at retreats, family gatherings, youth groups. That keeps your teaching muscles alive, even if it’s not the big pulpit.

  7. Offer your services
    Maybe offer media or audio teaching in your church, or help teach a Sunday school class, or lead a small group. Ways to serve, share, teach without depending on being “professionally” called up.

  8. Prayer & spiritual perspective
    Keep your heart with the Lord: studying Scripture, worship, communion with God. Ask for peace, clarity, perseverance. God’s spirit gives gifts: some are “speaking/preaching,” some are “serving,” some are “encouragement,” some are “giving.” (See Romans 12, 1 Cor. 12).


Audio blogging / podcasting for free — how to do it now

Since you said you’d like to do an audio blog (podcast) but struggle to find free long-space:

Here are some platforms and their limitations, plus tips:

PlatformFree Plan?Limitations / Pros
PodbeanYes — free plan available. PodbeanLimited storage. Might have less bandwidth or fewer features. Good to start small.
Anchor (now part of Spotify for Podcasters)Yes — free hosting/distribution. LifewireSometimes less control over everything, possibly fewer bells and whistles. But good for starting.
BuzzsproutHas a free plan (“free trial,” limited hours) The free plan may limit how many hours you can upload or how long episodes are stored.
YouTubeYes — you can upload audio + static image or video recording. Free, and huge reach.You’ll need to do some extra formatting; might be different kind of audience. But it’s free, and many people find listeners there.

What you can do:

  • Start with one episode — record on your phone or basic recorder; keep it short (10-15 minutes) if that feels manageable.

  • Use free editing software (Audacity is free; there are free mobile apps too).

  • Use a free hosting platform (Anchor or Podbean) to upload. Make sure your RSS feed is generated so you can submit to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc.

  • Promote each episode wherever you can: social media, church, email list.

  • Over time, if people listen, you can invest in better gear or paid hosting.


Hope for the future

You asked for hope. Here’s what I believe, based on what I see and some truths:

  • You can still preach. Even if you’re not hired as a preacher, you still have a voice. God can use your writing, your audio, your influence in your community. Don’t measure impact only by large crowds — small lives are worth it.

  • Your path may still shift. Certainly many people find a way later in life to move into what they thought was their calling, or find a hybrid way: part hospitality / work job + part speaking or ministry. Doors may open later when you least expect them.

  • God is not unjust. Sometimes we feel that God “took something away” — but maybe he’s using this season to grow you, to shape character, to teach perseverance, humility, love, dependence on Him. Often those who serve well in public ministry have had long seasons of unseen or “hidden” work first.

  • You are valuable. The difference you make by how you love, teach, serve, care is real — even if you can’t always see it. Your faithfulness matters.


When God Redirects Our Calling

Many of us find ourselves on paths we never planned. You once dreamed of preaching the Gospel full-time, yet God led you into hospitality — a ministry of service that, though not from the pulpit, can still reveal His love.

You’re not alone in this. Studies show that nearly two-thirds of people work in jobs they didn’t originally choose — and only about one in five feel truly passionate about their work. Yet even here, purpose can bloom. “In all toil there is profit” (Proverbs 14:23), and “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men” (Colossians 3:23).

Joseph didn’t choose the path to Egypt. Daniel didn’t plan to serve in Babylon. But God used both where they were planted. The call of God is not confined to pulpits; it thrives wherever faithfulness abides. Charles Spurgeon once said, “To be a servant of God in the meanest capacity is honor enough for the greatest man.”

When the doors to public ministry close, God sometimes opens a hidden chapel of the heart — where your life itself becomes the sermon. Your guests, coworkers, and readers may be the very congregation God entrusts to you today.

John Wesley encouraged, Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can.” Hospitality gives you that chance daily — to live the Gospel through warmth, patience, and kindness.

Blogging and audio teaching can still be powerful pulpits. Paul preached from prison through his letters; you can preach through your posts. “The word of God is not bound” (2 Timothy 2:9). Even if you never know who reads or listens, the Lord does. “Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days” (Ecclesiastes 11:1).

Don’t despise small beginnings (Zechariah 4:10). One faithful word can change a life. One voice of grace can echo through eternity.

When you feel forgotten, remember: Jesus knows the cost of obscurity. He spent thirty years in hidden labor before three years of public ministry. “God’s delays are not God’s denials,” said Corrie ten Boom.

Perhaps this is your season of refining, not retiring. A time to grow deeper, not smaller.

Keep loving the Lord more than the platform, and people more than applause. As you walk humbly, teach quietly, and serve faithfully, you’re preaching a Gospel louder than words.

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” — 1 Corinthians 15:58


When you rise up tomorrow to go begin your work, pause to pray. God help me be ready for anything you allow to come my way--I know you and I can handle it with your Spirit and wisdom. Help me see it not as routine but as ministry..even if it's practically helping someone. God, help me know that this diligence applied can encourage a coworker or visitor, or comfort a weary soul, or reflect You light..I mean Christ's character through patience, faith and humility. Assist me in obeying You, yes with every faithful act—seen or unseen—so that me and my work will become an offering. Help me be a living sermon where you stand. Make my whole life a prayer and praise to You. 

Lord, teach me to see You in it, yes, Your glory in my daily work. Help me to labor not for man's applause or recognition, but for Your pleasure. There is a lot of service demanded where I go -- help me not get over-stressed and overwhelmed. Keep me steadfast in You, and loyal where You have placed me.. and where you lead me. May my service, attitude and words—all of it, whether in word, deed, or duty—become pure worship that honors You and really blesses others. In Jesus’ name, amen.
