Micah's Promise to Bethlehem: Ancient Hope Becomes Our Peace
What does it mean to wait when God feels silent? Micah's promise to Bethlehem reveals a ruler whose origins stretch before time, yet he chooses the smallest stage to enter history. We walk through Micah 5, discovering a shepherd king who stands with his people, not above them—leadership that guards the weak and turns presence into peace. God's people become dew, quiet and life-giving, and a lion, resolute when righteousness is threatened. Along the way, counterfeit securities fall …
Holy Ink: The Birth of Scripture in a Corinthian Courtyard
Step into ancient Corinth, where Paul's holy ink flows by lamplight, crafting 1 Thessalonians—a father's heart poured out for persecuted spiritual children. In bustling Thessalonica, Paul's message of a crucified Savior sparked radical transformation. God-fearers found belonging, women discovered voices, and slaves gained dignity. This revolutionary community threatened the foundations of Roman society. Accused of "turning the world upside down," believers faced fier…
Loyalty Beyond Borders: Ruth's Journey from Moab to Bethlehem

What if the end of war begins at your kitchen table? We journey with Micah through the dust of ancient Judah to a future when swords become plowshares, nations stream to God's mountain, disputes are settled without violence, and families rest under their own vines and fig trees without fear. The contrast is stark—corrupt courts and predatory leaders on one side, a radiant vision of justice and belonging on the other—and the bridge between them is the unbreakable promise of a God whose w…

About the Host
Christie Richardson
Missionary
Christie is a missionary and ordained pastor—a dedicated servant of faith whose life and ministry are centered on sharing God’s Word and bringing comfort to those in need. With a heart shaped by years of military service and missionary outreach in the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe, Christie has long been drawn to serve people from all walks of life.
During her time serving in Thessaloniki, Greece, Christie led a street ministry focused on reaching the city’s homeless community. Equipped with compassion, prayer, and audio bibles in the Greek language, she shared the hope of the Gospel with those living on the margins—offering not just Scripture, but presence, listening, and love.
Her work through In the Field Audio Bible is a natural extension of that calling. These recordings allow Christie to reach listeners with the soothing, uplifting power of God’s Word, whether they are at home, in shelters, or navigating life’s most difficult roads. With every reading, she brings warmth, empathy, and a deep sense of God’s presence—creating sacred moments of peace, encouragement, and spiritual connection.
In August 2025, Christie moved to Vlorë, Albania, continuing her mission of delivering the audio bible to those in need—bringing the hope of Scripture to a new community longing for truth, comfort, and the presence of God.
Christie’s mission remains simple but profound: to offer the gift of faith, comfort, and the transformative hope of Scripture—one verse, one voice, and one soul at a time.
