I am so happy that my friend Kat joined DD after I marketed it on FB! She is a wise, deep and humorous Swedish speaking Finnish woman. Welcome @KatRau!
Will be speaking at four churches next week in Idaho and giving updates about our work in China, North Korea, Iran, and Afghanistan.
I can NOT wait to see my friends.

You have your Bible in English today because - on this day, October 6, in 1536, William Tyndale was burned at the stake for disobeying the authorities.
It was deemed a danger to society for individuals to read the Bible themselves. If an individual wanted to learn more about the Bible, they needed to join a congregation, have it read to them by an ordained priest, and in the Latin language.
William Tyndale was considered selfish and dangerous for putting the individual over the group.
@ChristieLeanne I honestly can’t keep track of who is letting who into their country and what the requirements are. I do think though that vaccine passports are going to become a mandatory requirement (with a couple of the usual exemptions) to travel anywhere by next year.
@Berrybunchfamily @sinbach @bethany I haven't listened to it yet, but I'm definitely curious. This particular podcast seems to be prompting a lot of comments and discussion. My husband has listened to it already and he was talking about it too...
In this podcast, @bethany and I hash it out.
Are men and women the same?
Should women be pastors?
Would I EVER attend a church pastored by a woman?
And Finally - why do I love chick flicks so much?
Such a fun and honest podcast with plenty to agree about and disagree about.

@bethany Great conversation with Eugene on the podcast about the roles of men and women. I loved the back and forth. You both were great at speaking straightforwardly and not beating around the bush.
@KarlGessler @sinbach oh good! Disagreements can be super healthy if they're done the right way. I think maybe we both shifted slightly by the end. I really feel like some parts of the Church might be in a better place if people were able to question things, to agree and to disagree with love and respect. Maybe then there would be less division 🤔 Anyway, glad you enjoyed!
We are some of the many 'misfits' who see the 'hole in the wall' found in Ezekiel "Furthermore He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, to make Me go far away from My sanctuary? Now turn again, you will see greater abominations.” So He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, there was a hole in the wall. Then He said to me, “Son of man, dig into the wall”; and when I dug into the wall, there was a door. And He said to me, “Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they are doing there.” So I went in and saw, and there—every sort of creeping thing, abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed all around on the walls." Ezekiel 8:6 - 10
We had such a large number of new members flood to DingDash yesterday when Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp crashed.
We were so excited to provide Christians with an alternative! https://backtojerusalem.com/many-christians-to-switch-to-dingdash-during-facebook-crash/
