You ask if I can turn to God in the face of a setback. I have been undergoing chemo therapy for Stage 4 pancreatic cancer for the past 6 months. I have a CT scan and see my oncologist every 8 weeks. Each CT scan has shown dramatic shrinkage of my tumors on my pancreas, adrenal gland and lymph nodes. So far, it has been easy for me to turn to the Lord and thank Him daily for his gracious healing power. I pray, and ask for your prayers, that I can just as easily turn to him and

I was happy to discover the new speaker that is on your program, Pastor Bryan Clark. I have listened to Back to the Bible for years and was so blessed hearing Theodore Epp, Warren Wiersbe and Woodrow Kroll. When the format was changed to recorded messages preached to large congregations it was not the same. It was hard to follow. While a speaker before a mega congregation raises and lowers his voice and goes from loud to soft voice to hold the attention of his listeners a

I must start my day everyday with Back to the Bible. Since Woodrow Kroll and now Bryan Clark I have enjoyed the teachings and learned so much! Pastor Bryan is very thorough, knowledgeable, and clear about what the Word of God says about how we should act in our everyday lives especially with the enemy on the prowl!

BREAKING THROUGH THE DARKNESS Imagine living in a country where it’s dangerous to read your Bible or to express your faith as a Christian. That’s what young Amanuel faces every day. He is a Christ-follower in Somalia, a nation that’s 99.8 percent Muslim. This region in the Horn of Africa—bordered by Ethiopia to the west and flanked by the Somali Sea to the east—is plagued with violence and terrorism. The Christian community is small and under constant threat of attack. Yet Am

The power of God’s Word (through goTandem ) has helped Tanya defeat depression … and save her marriage. Here’s her story: “The Scriptures I receive each day set my mind on truth—which gave me the courage to fight for my marriage. A few months ago, during late summer, I was struggling with depression among a slew of other medical issues. Now with the proper diagnosis and medical help, I am feeling better than I have felt in years. goTandem was such a blessing to me during thi

A retired husband and family man in Michigan shared how he is learning to hear God again … after spending much of his life trying to live on his own terms. Here’s what Ken told us: “I’m learning how to live out one simple yet very difficult verse in the Bible: ‘Be still and know that I am God’ (Psalm 46:10). The truth is, most of us spend our lives trying to make life work without God in the center. Yet we still expect Him to cooperate—relating to us on our terms, revolving a

Kaitlyn, a 20-year-old college student, shared how God is speaking to her through goTandem, rekindling her faith. Here’s what happened: “I just wanted to thank you for all of the messages you send me through goTandem. I went for a while without checking them … and now I have about 400 on my phone! A few weeks back, I tapped on one of them and began to read the verses. I couldn’t stop. I read another, and another after that. Before I knew it, God got ahold of my heart. He bega

In the quiet of their own home in southern India, Gavin and his wife Amenla knew they could use their local church and property for much more than simply Sunday gatherings. In many areas surrounding Bangalore, India, sex trafficking among women and young girls is a rampant problem–an issue often perpetuated by temples and local leaders with power and influence. Over the past decade, Gavin and Amenla have built up their church property which now includes housing facilities for

When my daughter was born, life hit me with a huge smack of reality. Prior to that, I had no goals in life. I was merely living to exist. Although I provided materially for my daughter, I was otherwise non-existent in her world. Running from the responsibility being a parent demanded, I left the state for almost a year. Alcohol and drug addiction became an everyday occurrence. It was a coping mechanism keeping me from facing life head on. I was at the end of my rope on what I

"I thoroughly appreciate this app because it reminds me on what I should focus on. For about two years I've always had different alarms set to remind me to pray and now the app allows a message to be there with the prayer. The passages and questions make God relevant in every situation. I am grateful as I humbly ask to remain in a state of gratitude. Knowing everything has already been written and works out for our good even when we don't understand. Thank you for the opportu

This email site/services has been extremely helpful in increasing and strengthening my walk with Jesus. I look forward to seeing and reading the words of our Lord  everyday!!! Previously to me signing up to receive these goTandem emails, I honestly can say I rarely had any connection to the Lord's word on a daily basis, it basically involved the brief Sunday connection through my church. Now with these emails, I have the chance and joy of digging into His word and being uplif

We often think of giving in terms of money and one's ability to give a certain amount. But the act of giving means so much more. It means time, attention, compassion, presence, wisdom and a multitude of other things. And better yet, it's available to each and every person. We believe the act of giving, in any context, can inspire us all to live a life of generosity and abundance. What does giving mean to you?

Hearing from God's Word helps youth hold on to their faith in a challenging world. Ria recently shared how she engages the Bible with goTandem : "A year ago, I went to summer camp. It was a blast; though I'd been before, I had just as good as a time, maybe even better. The summer camp's main focus was starting a relationship with God." For so many of us, a camp experience is often remembered by fun, freedom exploring the great outdoors and new friends. But for Ria, this parti

Each day we have people write to us about how God is impacting their lives through friends like you and Back to the Bible. Recently, Yanique, a young woman from Jamaica, shared her story. Yanique first heard about goTandem on the radio program. Like many young people, she had accepted Christ as a teen and been active in her church youth group. Later when she was on her own as an adult, she felt her faith faltering. Then God intervened through an app: "Slowly but surely I am

Mark's career takes him throughout the world, interfacing with various groups and organizations on land and at sea. Although he has been a believer for many years, Mark had not put a priority on scripture and engaging with it on a daily basis. After a traumatic event in his family, he began to realize the internal transformation that can take place in his own life and those around him through scripture. While Mark's life might look a bit different than your own, it probably s

Leaving their comfortable life behind, David and his wife, Johi, moved to one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Quito, Ecuador. But they have seen the power of community and commitment bring transformation to individual lives on a daily basis. And goTandem has been a big part of this.

Meet T.Ray As Director of the Arkansas Fellowship of Christian Athletes, T.Ray Grandstaff told us of the thousands of young men and women he'd seen accept Christ.
