Joel is excited to launch a brand-new podcast from Biblical Ministries Worldwide. It's called Real Missionaries in Real Time.

This show follows a group of missionaries throughout the year, giving you a window into what God is doing in missions right now. Each month, you’ll hear directly from them:

• what’s happening in their ministry
• what’s been encouraging
• what’s been challenging
• what daily life really looks like
• and how you can be praying

Real Missionaries in Real Time invites you into the ongoing story of God’s work around the world, not as a recap, but as it unfolds in real time. Search “Real Missionaries in Real Time” in your favorite podcast app or follow one of the links below!

This episode walks into one of the most defining moments of the Browns’ ministry—the night of the hijacking and the hard family conversation that followed.
You’ll hear how they processed danger with honesty, how they guided their children through fear, and how God steadied them when everything felt uncertain.

Their story highlights the real cost of obedience, the wisdom required to live in a high-risk environment, and the strength that rises when trust in God becomes more than a belief.
It’s a powerful look at courage expressed in the very moments when fear is real and the path forward feels costly.

Before they ever stepped onto foreign soil, David and Karin Brown lived their lives “leaning on the door of missions.”
They prepared, waited, and trusted that God—not ambition—would turn the handle.
In this first episode, they share how faith, loss, and calling shaped their readiness to go.
You’ll hear how years of quiet obedience led to the moment God opened the door—and how His presence steadied them when fear followed.
