Chaplain Jim Bontrager

In this week’s POSC Podcast, guest minister Chaplain Jim Bontrager delivers a bold, sobering, and hope-filled message titled “A Call to Action.” Speaking as a chaplain, historian, and servant of God, Chaplain Bontrager challenges the church to recognize the urgency of the moment and the responsibility believers carry in this pivotal hour of American history. Drawing from Scripture, American history, and personal testimony, this message confronts the spiritual roots behind cultural confusion, moral decline, and societal unrest. Chaplain Bontrager reminds listeners that freedom is not the absence of restraint, but the presence of self-governance under God. True liberty, he teaches, flows from the work of the Holy Spirit transforming hearts—not from political systems, ideology, or human effort. With clarity and conviction, this teaching weaves together biblical truth, the foundations of the United States, and the church’s role as stewards of freedom. From the writings of the Founding Fathers to the warnings of Scripture, listeners are called to wake up, stand firm, and refuse spiritual apathy. The message emphasizes that while the world may be acting as expected, the church must rise as salt and light—bringing hope, truth, and courage to a searching generation. At its core, “A Call to Action” is a rallying cry for personal responsibility, spiritual resilience, and wholehearted surrender. Bro. Bontrager reminds believers that hardship is often God’s training ground, that faith is forged through perseverance, and that God is still looking for men and women willing to stand in the gap and say, “Here I am, send me.” This message will challenge complacency, strengthen conviction, and reignite purpose—calling every listener to live boldly for Christ, right where God has placed them, for such a time as this.
