M28 SST

This first episode of M28 SST: Setting Sail Together introduces pastors and leaders Greg Christman, Josh Whitney, and Ryan Lange and centers on their experiences with the Bible as the Word of God. The episode emphasizes that Scripture is not merely something Christians believe to be true—it has the power to transform lives, guide people through darkness, and equip believers to pass the truth of Christ on to others.

“Back in the 80s, for me as a cult leader to find someone, I had to go and physically find them on the street somewhere. Now I can just access them through their phone… They’re trying to brainwash you… They’re definitely trying to brainwash all of us.”
