Echo Zoe Ministries, and the Echo Zoe podcast have been around since 2008. It was incorporated in 2011, and we received 501(c)3 status in 2012. It's been a great blessing!
The podcast has shifted, and has been put on the shelf as we've been doing The Bible Nexus. New episodes of The Bible Nexus are posted to the Echo Zoe podcast feed, and we do our best to keep the once-per-month schedule going.
The ministry continues. The Bible Nexus podcast is produced under the banner of the ministry. However, the Board and I have been in talks to slowly wind down the 501(c)3, and likely allow the incorporation to lapse and dissolve. The intent is to bring Echo Zoe Ministries back to where it started, which is just a trademark for the work I do. It started as a blog back in about 2002, or 2003. The podcast was added in 2008. That's where we're heading for the future (albeit with the Bible Nexus as the focus, rather than the Echo Zoe podcast.)
There are a few members here that still have active, paid subscriptions. I am extremely grateful for that support, and I thank you for the partnership. That said, with the winding down of the 501(c)3, we'll be shutting down this Locals page at the end of 2026. Any paid subscriptions still active at that time will be turned off.
While the podcast and ministry will still go on, so will the (modest) expenses related to the ministry. The financial support that you've provided is, as I already mentioned, greatly appreciated. By the time the unwinding is done, the annual expenses for this ministry will likely be in the three-figures; an amount that is little burden on my family's budget. For that reason, I encourage you to direct your financial support to another ministry with greater financial need.
The mission of Echo Zoe Ministries has never been about Echo Zoe Ministries, but rather the Reformation doctrine of Soli Deo Gloria, and that is not changing.
Soli Deo Gloria!
Andrew Rappaport and Fred Butler return for the sixth annual Roundtable. The three of us each brought a topic to discuss for roughly 20 minutes. We start with Andrew, who wanted to talk a little about "Christian Nationalism," primarily that he doesn't like the use of the term. Fred followed with a discussion of "Worldviews," which came out of his book on Apologetics. To finish, we talk about Christians participating in politics, primarily through voting, but also about other forms of participation.
Will Dobbie is pastor of Emmanuel Church of Knoxville, Tennessee, and author of “From Everlasting to Everlasting: Every Believer's Biography,” and “A Time to Mourn: Grieving the Loss of Those Whose Eternities Were Uncertain.” He returns to talk about mourning the deaths of loved ones who are either unsaved, or whose salvation is unclear.

Gene Clyatt returns for a fourth installment of English Reformation history {at least in regard to the time-period.) Gene was first on with me in August of 2021, where he talked about the early days of the English Reformation under Henry the 8th and Bishop Thomas Cranmer. In the May, 2022 episode, Gene returned to talk about England under Queen Elizabeth I. Last November, he talked about England under King James I.
For this episode, we get into the Witch Trials. Gene gives some history on how they began, talks about how King James brought them to Scotland and England, and how they ended up in the American Colonies, with Salem being the best-known.
