Following a Legend with Tim Wildmon

Joshua 1:1–9  1 Now it came about after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ [a]servant, saying, 2 “Moses My servant is dead; so now arise, cross this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel. 3 Every place on which the sole of your foot steps, I have given it to you, just as I spoke to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon, even as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and as far as the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun will be your territory. 5 No one will be able to oppose you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not desert you nor abandon you... In this episode of Real Truth for Today, Pastor Jeff Schreve sits down with Tim Wildmon, president of American Family Association and American Family Radio, to discuss what it is like to follow a legend. Using the story of Joshua following Moses as a starting point, Pastor Jeff and Tim talk about Tim's father, Don Wildmon, the founder of American Family Association and American Family Radio. Tim shares stories about his father's early ministry, his calling to stand for biblical values, and how God used him to make a lasting impact on American culture. The conversation explores the challenges of carrying on a ministry built by a well-known leader, the differences between a founder's strengths and those of his successor, and the importance of trusting God when stepping into a new role. They also discuss being salt and light, standing for truth in a hostile culture, engaging society rather than hiding from it, and the responsibility Christians have to remain faithful even when following Christ brings opposition.
