BAM Year-End Review 2025
Biblical Authority Ministries, January 13, 2026 (Donate)
Finally, all of you be of
one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be
tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for
reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this,
that you may inherit a blessing. (1 Peter 3:8-9, NKJV)
What a busy year it has been! Biblical Authority
Ministries (BAM) has had quite a few highlights. We give glory to God for all
He has done and we look forward to what He has in store in the coming year.
Tax Exempt Status
In 2025, BAM officially became an official 501(c)(3) ministry.
It wasn’t without its hiccups. I spent way too much time on the phone trying to
get things corrected at the IRS as there was glitch and it was initially put in
wrong. It took ages to figure that it wasn’t on our end but theirs, but we
finally got it worked out.
BAM Website
The BAM Website has gone from good…to great! And yet, there
is still much more to come this year. It really has become a source website
for Christians wanting answers to defend their faith, stand on creation, and
reach people with the Gospel.
www.biblicalauthorityministries.org
I’ve been able to produce or republish about 5 articles per
week. This really helps generate content that is needed in hosts of different areas—scientific
content, cultural content, news, theological content, world religions, American
heritage, philosophy, and holidays. And of course, these are all done from a biblical
authority perspective—letting God be ultimate and supreme in all matters.
Speaking
Technology is amazing! I love being able to use the latest
tech to give lectures…all over the world without leaving my office! I’ve been
able to speak for ministries in Europe, Canada, and the USA.
What an honor it’s been to reach people with the truth of God’s
Word and present the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I’ve had some great feedback from
hosts and listeners/attendees who are hungry for answers. Some of the highlighted
lectures were (1) Dinosaurs, Dragons, and the Bible; (2) Halloween, Paganism,
and the Bible, and the (3) Tower of Babel.
In 2025, I was able to speak at special events and even
youth programs. I am available for speaking—including churches—and you can inquire
more here.
Radio And Media
In 2025, I’ve done several radio interviews. On one
instance, I’ve had the privilege of being a regular guest on a major multi-national
radio network, reaching pastors, Christian leaders, and laymen. It’s nice
having the website recommended so often to extend our reach. The feedback has
been incredible this past year.
I was also able to record with a popular creationist who travels
all over the country filming relevant content. In this instance, we hit a doozy
of a topic—the different between men and women and the gender issue plaguing
our culture. It was powerful.
I’ve also been on several popular audio or video podcasts in
2025. It really does keep me busy! I am available for radio, TV and podcast
interviews just message me in
the email address here to get things set up.
DVD
I was able to record one DVD at a live event. It was the Tower
of Babel. It is a more recent
version and a slightly different angle than the older one I did many years ago.
I get that DVDs are no longer as popular…and even going extinct…since streaming
has become “the thing”.
However, physical media is always important and still has a
niche. Some still prefer physical media and there is something nostalgic about
it!
Books
I was able to help edit an autobiography book from a popular
Christian evangelist (slated to be released in 2026). It was exciting working with
an author with which I hadn’t previously worked.
I also helped with a book that Ken Ham released as General
Editor. It was Defending God’s Existence and it has been selling quite
well. The book really hits the meat of this subject.
Sadly, many try to argue God’s existence in ways that are
not the best—by setting the Bible aside and arguing for some generic “deity”. This
book points out why those methods aren’t always the best and then hits with a
genuinely “nuclear” argument that is super powerful.
It also shows how to use logic, philosophy, and evidence
correctly when dealing with the subject of God’s existence. I highly recommend
the book.
Final Thoughts
Well, there is so much more that I could discuss, but I just
wanted to give you a taste of the ministry from a glance.
Please be in prayer for me and Biblical Authority Ministries as we move forward. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. I want to encourage you consider giving to the ministry as this is what allows me to continue to do ministry to promote God’s Word and continue to get the Gospel to those who need it.
