Ep 2112: From Censorship to Calling – The Power of a “Default Yes”

Where do you go for Christian books, audiobooks, and podcasts you can trust? For most people, the answer has been Amazon—but what happens when faith-based resources are censored or buried?

In this episode of iWork4Him, Jim and Martha Brangenberg sit down with Claton Butcher, founder of CrossCurrent Digital, a growing platform created to provide Christians with a safe, curated place for audiobooks, eBooks, and podcasts – without compromising their faith.

Claton shares his powerful story of obedience to God’s call, from his early days in worship ministry to becoming a publisher and launching a digital alternative after experiencing censorship. Through financial trials, personal attacks, and even blacklisting, Claton and his family have stood firm with a “default yes” to God’s leading.

Listeners will be encouraged to:

Understand why Christian publishing and media distribution matter in a world of digital gatekeepers

See how CrossCurrent Digital protects wholesome content while offering a wide library of resources for individuals, families, and even churches or businesses

Say “yes” to God, even when the journey is hard, knowing it opens doors to Kingdom impact

Whether you are a Christian business owner, a publisher, or a believer who simply wants to support platforms that honor Christ, this conversation will inspire you to consider how your choices in media consumption can strengthen the Body of Christ.
