Pocketing God’s Promises

The Shadow that Overshadows

Friday, June 6, 2025 | Guest: Jon Crocker and Tim Berrey |
Topics: Missions

On January 8, 1956, Jim Elliot and his four missionary companions were speared to death by the Waodani on Palm Beach. Though not known until years later, the five were killed, humanly speaking, because of a lying lover who was not getting his way. Is God bigger than a love spat? Are His will evaded and His workers killed because of something beyond His control? What promise did Betty Elliot, her husband, and the other four killed that day understand? Find out in episode six of Pocketing God’s Promises.
