Frontiers of Faith

In this episode, we trace the early life and wandering years of Adoniram Judson. A brilliant minister’s son in New England, to a restless young skeptic chasing ambition, to the providential crisis that shattered his confidence and turned him back toward Christ. Before Burma, before imprisonment, before the long labor of translation, Judson had to be undone. This is the story of the road that brought him there.

Across the centuries, ordinary men and women have carried the gospel into some of the hardest places on earth.Their names are written in old journals, ship logs, prison records, and letters stained by heat and tears.Some never returned home.Some saw revival break like dawn over places no one believed could change.All of them lived stories worth remembering.

John G. Paton left the slums of Glasgow for the cannibal islands of the South Pacific—burying his wife and child, surviving spears and warfare, and seeing an entire island come to Christ.His story is one of suffering, steadfast love, and a God who redeems even the darkest places.
