Why J. Vernon McGee’s Bible Teaching Is Still Reaching the World | Steve Shwetz

Nearly 40 years after the death of Dr. J. Vernon McGee, Thru the Bible isn’t simply surviving—it continues to reach new listeners around the world.

Steve Marston sits down with Steve Shwetz of Thru the Bible to talk about the remarkable legacy of J. Vernon McGee, why his straightforward teaching of Scripture remains relevant decades later, and how the ministry continues to take the Word of God into new countries, cultures, and languages.

Steve shares how Thru the Bible is heard on more than 1,600 stations in the U.S. and Canada, while its global ministry continues translating McGee’s teaching into languages spoken by people who may have very little other Christian—or even general media—available in their mother tongue. Pasted text

They also discuss the World Prayer Team, where roughly 20,000 people pray for listeners, ministries, and gospel work around the world. It’s a practical way for Christians to move beyond praying only for the needs immediately around them and develop a more global missions mindset. Pasted text

Plus, Steve shares an encouraging story from a recent trip to Norway, Sweden, and Finland, where Thru the Bible discovered that the ministry was still having an impact even after TTB had stepped away from traditional radio efforts in Western Europe—and why the organization is now re-engaging with ministry partners there.

It’s a fascinating look at what can happen when the message remains centered on something that never goes out of date: the Word of God.
