These are both historic and modern day stories. These stories span more than 2000 years. From the abolitionist, to the actor, and the addict. From the baker to the barber. From the educator to the evangelist and the executive. From the pastor to the pill pushers, even presidents. From the tank operator to the truck driver. These stories as well as the hundreds of others will hit home, they will challenge, they will resonate, they will convict, and they will inspire.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-15T16:23:23.613657+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/365-christian-men-6236704"},"episode":{"title":"When Your Plans for God Fall Apart","slug":"when-your-plans-for-god-fall-apart","published_at":"2026-09-08T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/365-christian-men-6236704/when-your-plans-for-god-fall-apart","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/365-christian-men-6236704","url":"https://d22e17c4-9416-4676-ba5a-316bbf69d620.libsyn.com/when-your-plans-for-god-fall-apart","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/d22e17c4-9416-4676-ba5a-316bbf69d620/09-08-26.mp3?dest-id=3929637","summary":"William Townsend dreamed of taking the gospel to people around the world, but debt and a devastating accident that left him deaf seemed to end that calling. Instead of giving up, he realized God had placed a \"whole little world\" around him—and his faithful influence helped shape generations of missionaries and Bible translators, including his son William Cameron Townsend, founder of Wycliffe Bible Translators. This story challenges Christian men to stop measuring their usefulness by their circumstances, abilities, or recognition. When your plans change, God can still use your faithfulness, your family, your work, and your influence for His purposes. Listen and consider: Who is the \"little world\" God has placed around you today? Join the mission.
