In this episode I share how I found the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior, way back in 1983 out in Washington, D.C. If you are already a Christian, I hope you’ll find it encouraging; if not, or if you're not sure whether you're a Christian yet, I hope you’ll find it helpful in understanding what it really means to become a believer in Jesus Christ and have a relationship with Him. At the end I have also add a brief prayer of salvation, so you can pray to the Lord, just as I did. And after you ask the Lord into your heart, please reach out and let us know about your salvation!

When there are already so many English-language versions of the New Testament, is there really a need for still another one? I would strongly say, Yes, because I just don’t feel there is a truly first-rate translation of the Scriptures available in English today. That is why I produced the Standard Version. And so, in this episode, in order to illustrate the need for the SV, I give examples of two verses in the New Testament where I feel the Standard Version improves over other translations. This is the first in a series of episodes I plan to produce in the coming days along these lines, entitled “Why the Standard Version?” These will cover a good deal of additional verses where I feel other translations miss what is actually being said.May the Lord bless the Standard Version for His sake!

I just wanted to send out a brief announcement to listeners as to why I have, for the time being, paused the release of new episodes of the Christian Faith Podcast. The reason is, at this point all of my time and effort needs to be focused on publishing the 2025 edition of the Standard Version of the New Testament, so right now I just don’t have the opportunity to post any new episodes of the podcast. So, if I do add anything in the coming weeks, it will most likely be related to the Standard Version; in particular, I hope to record some videos for YouTube in which I go through the translation of various New Testament verses to show why I felt a new edition of the New Testament is needed, and I may also post those via the podcast. As for when I’ll resume posting new episodes of the podcast itself, I am just not sure now, but am seeking the Lord regarding that. Of course, there are already over 150 episodes online that you can still listen to. And also, a number of these have been arranged into podcast series, such as “The Judgment Seat of Christ,” “The Letters to the Seven Churches,” and “Pursuing Christ in Philippians Three,” to make it easier for you to go through them in sequence. You can see all of the series titles on this page of our website: The Christian Faith Podcast: List of Series In the meantime, may the Lord keep you in His way, and pursuing Him! In Christ, your brother, David Canfield
