With a thirst for truth the Lord led me to First Bible Baptist Church in Lockport, New York. There for the first time I heard the word of God preached. Shortly thereafter in 1984 I received the Lord as my personal saviour. I began to study the Bible and received the Diploma of Christian Studies from Charity Baptist Bible Institute and Seminary in Beavercreek, Ohio. What a blessing the Bible is, an inexhaustible source of guidance and inspiration.

I earned a Masters Degree in Counselor education, and also certification in Choice Theory and Reality Therapy from the William Glasser Institute for Choice Theory. I am now a retired school counselor, living with my wife inLancaster County Pennsylvania, doing my best to serve the Lord, this podcast being one attempt.

On May of 2005 I bowed my head and repented of my sins and asked the Lord to save my sinful soul from hell, and He did!

I married my beautiful wife Jennifer on June 18th, 2011, and the Lord called us to be Missionaries to the Native Eskimos in the North Slope of Arctic Alaska. We have been ministering in the village of Point Hope since January of 2016. The Lord has already allowed us to be part of many victories here including many souls receiving Christ as their Saviour!

The Lord has also blessed us with four amazing children; our first child, Jacob, who was born on September 5th, 2017 as well as our beautiful daughter who was born on August 26th 2020. They are both miracles of God and are a ray of sunshine in this dark land! The Lord has been so good to us, and we are humbled and honored that He allows us to serve Him!

 Pastor Scott Strobel was saved after hearing a clear-cut plan of salvation from the Bible from Pastor Michael Todd.He graduated from the Pensacola Bible Institute under Peter S. Ruckman in 1986, and has been the Pastor at First Bible Baptist Church in Lockport New York since July of 1987. 

 Through the years the Lord would bless Pastor Strobel and his wife with a total of seven children. Five boys and two girls, which arrived in that order! After all of those years in the ministry, Pastor Strobel likes to quote from the song Amazing Grace which says, (slightly modified), "Through many dangers, toils, and snares we have already come, 'Tis grace hath brought us safe thus far, and grace will lead us home!"

I trusted Jesus Christ as my Savior on December 29, 1976, at Trinity Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida. I attended Pensacola Bible Institute, graduating with a Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1980. 

Presently I am pastoring a small Baptist church in Buffalo, New York, where I am actively preaching and teaching the word. Other ministries include going door to door, street preaching, mission and prison ministries, home bible study, personal discipleship and music ministry. I am thankful for the Lord’s kindness, grace, mercy and blessings.

Many years ago Eric and I had talked about (half joking) of having our own Christian radio program. Years ago (2009) Eric called me, and was all excited about starting a podcast. I had never heard of such a thing. He went on and on about it, and finally convinced me to join he and Matt. The rest is history, I suppose this podcast is fulfillment of a conversation many years ago.
