14 NOV 2026 · In this Frontlines report, Michael Basham takes up "de-idolization": starting from the better-known idea of deindustrialization and turning it toward tearing down idols, including Bible teachers, family names, addictions, and even the urge to merely stay alive. He points listeners back to the Word of God, to being crucified with Christ and ready for the Lord's return, and to Jesus as the only name by which anyone enters heaven. Along the way he recalls a China mission-field beginning to internet ministry, speaks healing and freedom through the blood of Jesus, and talks about a reboot of Don Basham Ministries and a word-focused news site meant to get people into the Scriptures.

- De-idolization: don't idolize anyone who tells you how to think about the Bible, or a family name, and don't make survival, diet, fasting or addictions your hope. Freedom comes through the blood of Jesus.
- These episodes are instigators to get into the Bible, not a substitute for it. Love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul (Deut. 6:5, Matt. 22:37), and the Word is God (John 1:1).
- The Lord is coming soon and looking for people of faith who are ready, not people just trying to survive. "I have been crucified with Christ" (Gal. 2:20). Speak healing to the body.
- No other name: Jesus is the only way into heaven (Acts 4:12). Put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 13:14).
- The Don Basham Ministries reboot and a word-focused news site, with thanks to everyone who has supported the work.
