Echoes of Faith
Echoes of Faith is where powerful testimonies, timeless truth, and real conversations meet.
Each episode dives deep into the lives of missionaries, pastors, Christian leaders, and everyday believers who are living out their faith in remarkable ways — often behind the scenes and against all odds.
From the jungles of the mission field to the pulpits of small-town churches, from underground ministries in restricted nations to quiet moments of personal obedience, every story echoes the same message: God is still at work.
Hosted by Joseph Rasmussen, Echoes of Faith invites you to listen, learn, and be inspired by those who have answered the call to follow Christ wherever He leads. These are stories of courage, conviction, and grace — real faith that still echoes through every generation.

Dr. Jim Schettler has spent decades in ministry as a pastor, Bible teacher, and educator, shaping generations of students through a steady emphasis on Scripture, discernment, and obedience to God.
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Schettler to walk through his story — from his early years and conversion, to his time in Bible college, pastoral ministry, and eventual role training young leaders for the next generation. We explore what shaped his beliefs, how his understanding of God’s will developed over time, and why he has consistently emphasized biblical principles over emotion or cultural trends.
This conversation goes beyond sound bites. We talk honestly about:
- His early spiritual influences and calling to ministry
- The experiences that formed his teaching on knowing God’s will
- His philosophy of discipleship, authority, and personal responsibility
- The challenges of pastoring and teaching over multiple decades
- How he views obedience, grace, and discernment today
- Lessons learned from a lifetime of ministry and leadership
This is a thoughtful, reflective discussion about faithfulness over time — what it means to walk with God when life isn’t simple, culture is shifting, and clarity doesn’t come quickly.
Whether you agree with every perspective or not, this episode offers insight into the life and convictions of a man who has devoted his life to teaching the Word of God and helping believers live it out with integrity.
