Pastor Stephen Russ
Podcast Host
Born and raised in Evansville, Indiana, I got saved and grew in Christ at Boeke Road Baptist Church. After earning my degree from Golden State Baptist College, I returned home and served as the youth pastor at my home church. In 2014, I had the privilege of becoming the pastor of Boeke Road Baptist Church, where I continue to lead and inspire others in their walk with Christ. In 2019, our church relocated to a larger facility and changed the name to FaithWay Baptist Church. In addition to my pastoral duties, I serve as a Law Enforcement chaplain, providing spiritual support to those who serve and protect our community. When I'm not in the pulpit or on call, I enjoy hunting, podcasting, and finding new ways to serve the Lord.
Pastor Tom Brennan
Podcast Host
Tom Brennan grew up in a pastor's home in Ohio. At fourteen, he knelt behind his garage, placed his faith in Christ alone, and settled his salvation. After college, he established a church in rural Pennsylvania, and then spent 16 years ministering in urban Chicago. In 2019, he accepted his current pastorate, Bible Baptist Church of Dubuque, Iowa. Along the way, his writing ministry, Brennan's Pen, was birthed. Tom has published five books to date. The Issues Podcast was an idea that he had to be persuaded to accept, but now having been part of it for a few seasons he understands its value. A podcast goes places his writing does not, and ministers to people whom he otherwise could not. And over the course of many conversations with many listeners he has developed a deep heart for them.
Pastor Landon Street

Landon Street is the pastor of Collins Hill Baptist Church in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

Pastor Martin Wickens

Martin was born at Battle Hospital in Reading, England and grew up in Newbury. Early in his life God brought him into contact with an American missionary, Tom Dotson. He received Jesus as His Savior in 1994 and it was under Tom Dotson's ministry that he was called to preach. He trained at Emmanuel Baptist Bible School in Northern Ireland and graduated in 2003. In 2004 he and his wife, Carrie, married and God has blessed them with 4 children. Carrie is originally from South Carolina.

He raised support from churches in the USA, Ireland, and the UK to enable him to work in churches that could not support their own pastor. He served in his home church, Brimpton Baptist Church; served for 3 years as pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland; 2 years as Mission Leader with Bethesda Free Church in Sunderland, England; and then returned home and served for 7 years as pastor of Brimpton Baptist Church in Brimpton, England.

Martin is now the pastor of Bedford Bible Church in Bedford, PA. He has a strong focus on expositional preaching, family, fellowship, and spreading the Gospel to the community and around the world.
