About The Podcast
Nearly 20 years ago, Simon Lee started having a recurring dream of a flashing neon sign. After months of prayer and consulting with people he knew, Simon decided he’d figured out what the dream meant: Instead of inheriting his father’s business, he should forge out on a venture of his own—and give away 50% of the profits. What sounded crazy at first has turned out to be true inspiration, as his company, Buy On Purpose (formerly EIS Office Solutions), has achieved tremendous success without compromising on its Christian values. In this podcast, Simon talks about how he built the business, being open about faith in the workplace, and keeping one’s life focused on what truly matters.

Replace the Voices with Verses
Of the 10 years Josh Summers spent as a missionary in western China, the last few months were by far the hardest: Twice he was hauled into jail by Chinese police for interrogation, the second of which lasted 17 days. And as he sat alone in a cold, barren holding cell with nothing, not even his Bible, he tried to take inventory of what scripture he could remember by heart—and realized he didn’t have nearly as much of it down as he thought he did.
Finding the Strength to Persevere
This week, The Redeemed founder Paul Amos and director Nate Dewberry offer thoughts on the topic of perseverance: How do we do it? Why do we do it? And how do our struggles make us stronger, better people?
Porn, Shame, and the Path to Freedom
Jordan Castille was a skinny kid who was good at gymnastics and a member of his high school’s cheerleading squad—something it wasn’t easy to be in Texas in the late ’90s. The bullying he experienced, combined with some flawed family relationships, drove him to fill the void with pornography. It was only in college that Jordan came to terms with the damage his addiction was causing and sought help from the Lord.
