In Part 2 of our conversation with Rick Witmer, we focus on applying biblical truth through the “anchors” in his book Walking with God When I’m Afraid. Rick shares how seasons of anxiety in his own life shaped the anchor metaphor and explains how steady meditation on Scripture helps children (and adults!) find stability in life’s storms.
This episode explores how to patiently shepherd anxious hearts with gospel-centered truth, why quick fixes don’t work, and how long-term confidence in God is formed through slow, faithful exposure to Scripture.
This episode unpacks:
Grounding fearful hearts in God’s unchanging character
Helping children slowly “metabolize” truth through steady Scripture meditation
Responding to anxious children with patience instead of urgency
Holding grief and worship together in seasons of disappointment
Cultivating a reflex of turning to God first in moments of fear
Pursuing long-term spiritual formation rather than immediate emotional relief

In this episode of Gospel Talks, George Binoka sits down with Jeff Musgrave, founder of The Exchange, to explore one of the most powerful tools in relational evangelism: helping people understand and embrace true saving faith. Drawing from Chapter 4 of The Exchange Bible study, they unpack the three essential elements of saving faith—understanding, agreeing, and personally trusting in Jesus Christ.
George and Jeff discuss why grace is often so difficult to accept, why humans tend to trust themselves instead of God, and how religious “works-based” thinking can obscure the simplicity of the gospel. Through vivid illustrations—from walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls to transferring faith from works to Christ—they reveal how believers can clearly communicate the gospel to friends, neighbors, and even those coming out of other religions.
Whether you’re discipling, evangelizing, or simply wanting to deepen your own faith, this episode equips you to see how people move from intellectual agreement to personal trust in Christ, and how the Holy Spirit works through the Word to transform lives.
