January Freedom Quest Workshop:
November 24, 2025
Freedom Quest Workshops:
A newly revised edition of the Freedom Quest Workshop will be taught January 9-11, 2026 at Village Creek Bible Camp near Lansing, Iowa. Please go to the camp website to reserve your spot. This will be the complete workshop.
We are also looking for more team members for a Freedom Quest Camp in Egypt January 29- February 12, 2026. This camp will be organized through International Messengers. It would be helpful for those attending the Egypt event to be alumni of a Freedom Quest Workshop.
To inquire about the Egypt trip, call Steve and Ann Zupke at:
Steve: 563-380-8679 Ann: 563-380-0460
Last week I taught the revised workshop in Libby, Montana. The new revisions were very helpful. There are already several international workshops being scheduled for 2026. I am also scheduling USA based workshops for 2026.
We are also hoping to add Spanish based workshops for 2026 and beyond. Hopefully, these will be in Spanish. This will be a great addition to the Creole, Swahili and Arabic translations.
As you can see, we are very busy with several projects. Please keep us in your prayers. Every International Workshop is costly, but so fruitful. Please consider joining the Freedom Quest Support team! Text me with any questions:

Exposing the Illusion
November 24, 2025
Exposing the Illusion of a Life of Sin: Psalm 73
“1) Surely God is good to Israel, To those who are pure in heart! 2) But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling, My steps had almost slipped. 3) For I was envious of the arrogant As I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4) For there are no pains in their death, And their body is fat. 5) They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like mankind. Psalm 73:1-5
17)Until I came into the sanctuary of God; Then I perceived their end. 18) Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. 19) How they are destroyed in a moment! They are utterly swept away by sudden terrors!” Psalms 73:17-19
It is sometimes easy to envy what looks like fun and pleasure for those in the world. From a distance their lives look happy and carefree.
But that quickly falls apart under closer examination. It is often a charade. Pain can be medicated by a thousand vises. Eventually the pressure valve goes off.
This Psalm pulls the mask off the hidden story and reveals the truth. At some point the life of sin comes crashing down. When the illusion is exposed by truth the end is often tragic. The heart can be very ugly.
This is when many people become open to the gospel. When the mask is removed and all self respect and dignity are gone, people often turn to God for mercy and grace. Jesus came to seek and to save the lost.

November 22, 2025
Prayer For Civil Leaders: Psalm 72
“1) Give the king Your judgments, O God, And Your righteousness to the king’s son. 2) May he judge Your people with righteousness And Your afflicted with justice.
20)The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.” Psalms 72:1-2, 20
Psalm 72 is the final prayer of David. It records his prayer for the reign of his son Solomon. He is asking that wisdom, compassion and Justice be given to him as he rules over the people.
This is an example of a great way to pray for government and civil leaders. They must be covered in prayer! The position of power will temp them apart from Gods protection! Be diligent to pray for kings and all who are in authority.

Purpose to End Well
November 21, 2025
Purpose to End Well: Psalm 71
“6) By You I have been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother’s womb; My praise is continually of You. 7) I have become a marvel to many, For You are my strong refuge. 8) My mouth is filled with Your praise And with Your glory all day long. 9) Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails.” Psalms 71:6-9
Psalms 71 is looked at as a testimony of David in his senior years. God had been his refuge and strength his entire life. He had become a marvel to many. God was his strong refuge.
His mouth was filled with glory and praise for God. He was confident that God would be with Him as he aged and his strength failed. Sure enough, God was with him to the very end!
The reason David was vigorous to the end was that he maintained a sense of purpose. He realized he had a mission to the very end. Let’s read on in the text.
“14) But as for me, I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. 15) My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the sum of them. 16) I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord God; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone. 17) O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds. 18) And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.” Psalms 71:14-18
Did he accomplish his mission? Was he fruitful for the glory of God? He not only left the legacy of the book of psalms for many generations, he also became the linage of the Messiah. Jesus is going to reign on the throne of David forever.
No matter your age, purpose to persevere and end well for the glory of God! Praise Him to your last breath in this life! Double down on your mission and calling.

God is my Helper and Deliver
November 20, 2025
God is my Helper and Deliverer: Psalm 70
“1) O God, hasten to deliver me; O Lord, hasten to my help! Let those be ashamed and humiliated Who seek my life; 2) Let those be turned back and dishonored Who delight in my hurt. 3) Let those be turned back because of their shame Who say, “Aha, aha!” 4) Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; And let those who love Your salvation say continually, “Let God be magnified.” 5) But I am afflicted and needy; Hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay.” Psalms 70:1-5
This short Psalm is a quote from Psalm 40:13-17. David was declaring the faithfulness of God toward those who serve Him and delight to do His will.
Psalm 70 became a short vocal chorus. It became a popular stand alone song often sung without the whole Psalm as recorded in Psalm 40.
The theme recorded in this chorus is that God is a very present help in time of need. He is there to help those who seek Him for anything, at any time, and in any place. He is our helper and deliverer.
