In this powerful continuation of his series on The Believer's Authority, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen shares how believers can experience real victory over Satan—not by personal strength, but by being fully submitted to Christ. Reflecting on the recent passing of his prayer-warrior mother-in-law, Dr. Van Gelderen weaves together personal testimony, scriptural truth, and vivid illustrations to show how spiritual authority flows from surrender. When you’re under Christ’s authority, you stand over the enemy—and he must flee.

• Remembering Janet Cross and her legacy of prayer and faith
• What it means to be “in Christ” and seated in heavenly places (Ephesians 1–2)
• Christ’s victory over Satan and the believer’s shared triumph
• James 4:7 and the conditions for resisting the devil
• Delegated authority illustrated with a traffic cop and a mother’s command
• Why praying “in Jesus’ name” is more than a phrase
• Resisting Satan’s influence in weather, illness, and other real-life situations
• Total surrender and total dependence as the foundation for authority

• Spiritual authority is not earned through strength, but accessed through submission.
• Christ’s victory over Satan is final, and believers share in that authority when yielded to Him.
• Praying “in Jesus’ name” means aligning with His will and authority, not just using a phrase.
• We must not be passive in the spiritual battle; resisting Satan is an active responsibility.
• Whether facing external circumstances or internal battles, the path to victory is the same: under authority, over the enemy.

In this very special episode, Bobby Bosler shares an exciting announcement and a deeply personal journey of faith. Speaking from Matthew 14, he draws parallels between Peter’s step out of the boat and the major life change God has led him and his family into — accepting the call to pastor Fellowship Baptist Church in Fairmont, West Virginia. Bobby testifies to God's guidance through uncertainty, showing how surrender and obedience open the door for God's miraculous provision and peace.

• Stepping out in faith when God's leading feels impossible
• The story behind the call to pastor Fellowship Baptist Church
• How God uses closed doors and lack of peace to redirect our steps
• Wrestling with calling, gifting, and identity in ministry
• Encouragement to follow God's call even when it requires major life changes

• God's leading often requires taking a step into the impossible. Like Peter walking on water, faith demands stepping out based on God's command, not on visible certainty.
• Closed doors are part of God's guidance. The lack of peace about repairing or replacing the trailer was God's way of preparing the Bosler family for a completely new direction.
• Gifting doesn't limit God's calling. Even as an evangelist, Bobby discovered that God could use him to pastor and shepherd a local church, showing that God's calling often stretches us beyond our assumptions.
• Obedience leads to peace. When Bobby and his wife yielded to the possibility of pastoring, God flooded their hearts with undeniable peace and clarity.
• A big step of faith inspires others. Just like Peter's step inspired worship in the boat, your obedience can ripple out to encourage others to trust and follow Christ.

In this gripping episode of the GoMission podcast, Mark Gillmore interviews Brother Athing, a courageous church planter and missionary in Assam, Northeast India. Brother Athing shares his journey through intense hardship—imprisonment, persecution, loss, and natural disaster—and how God used each trial to deepen his faith and multiply gospel fruit. His story is a powerful testimony of perseverance and the unshakable resolve to follow God’s call, even when everything else is stripped away.

Note: Brother Athing speaks with a heavy accent that may be challenging to understand at times. A roughly summarized transcript of the episode is available to help you follow along.

• How God called Brother Athing into missions in Assam
• Initial church planting and early fellowship
• Imprisonment and being abandoned by a supporting pastor
• Starting over after jail, with gospel tracts and hospital outreach
• Launching a children’s school and living in extreme poverty
• Experiencing betrayal, church arson, and the death of his brother
• Continual persecution, including from radical Hindu groups
• Rebuilding a mission from scratch and launching a training center
• The conversion of a lead persecutor after receiving a gospel tract
• Strategic use of education as a gospel platform
• Vision for a missionary training center and the fruit of over 38 churches planted

• Opposition doesn’t mean you’re off course—in fact, it might mean you’re right where God wants you.
• God tests before He opens doors—every major breakthrough in Brother Athing’s ministry was preceded by trial.
• Faithfulness bears fruit—churches were planted, leaders trained, and persecutors converted because he stayed.
• Strategic compassion matters—a children’s school became both a testimony and a shield for gospel work.
• God provides miraculously—from provision of land to the transformation of enemies into allies.
