Stories from Liangyou Radio and Theological Seminary

Falling In Love With Reading

"I’ve been listening to Liangyou Radio for over three years now, and it’s become an essential part of my daily devotion—the very first thing I do each day. I’m so grateful for your voice on the air. Through life’s ups and downs, God has used your program to speak to my heart and nourish my spirit.

Many of the hymns I treasure in my songbook came from your broadcasts. I never used to enjoy reading, but through your encouragement and God’s grace, I’ve finished several books! Your show has been a source of strength during difficult seasons and a faithful companion along the way.

Because of it, I’m slowly learning how to love others more deeply and live in a way that glorifies God. Thank you for walking with me on this journey—through the airwaves and into my heart."

Returning From Sin

"Over the past few days, I’ve been listening closely to the radio programs, especially the ones about sin—and they’ve really hit home. Just like the Bible says, and the program reminded me, sin always brings consequences—and those consequences hurt. You reap what you sow; if you plant sin, and you harvest pain.

I’ve made many mistakes in my life, but by God’s grace, I’ve returned to Him. Now I can testify to His mercy and the beauty of His redemption. He has turned my suffering into blessings. If only I had understood earlier how serious the cost of sin is—so much heartache could have been avoided.

Now I live with a deep reverence for the Lord, always reminding myself that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. His Word is unshakable truth, and only Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. I pray that every brother and sister will hold fast to God’s Word—because in Him alone we find life."

Strengthened by Your Shepherding

"I’ve been a listener since my teenage years—nearly 30 years now—and I’ve grown so much under your faithful shepherding. There were seasons when I felt like giving up, but your messages gave me the strength to keep going. Your presence on the air has been a lifeline, and I truly hope you’ll continue walking with us until the day the Lord returns.

Thank you for your tireless work—it’s not easy, and I don’t take it for granted. May the Lord bless you richly, make you fishers of men, and pour out His abundant grace on your ministry. Emmanuel—God with us!"

Patience Through the Lord

"Thank God—I’m a mom who struggles a lot with patience. But after listening to your program, I’ve been gently reminded and encouraged in such a meaningful way. Parenting often tests my patience, and I sometimes fail to respond to my child with the right encouragement. Your teaching showed me that I need to rely fully on God and remain consistent in His strength to grow into a more patient mom. Thank the Lord for this guidance! Blessings to Liangyou Radio."

Jesus Took Away My Low Self-Esteem

"I’ve been listening to Liangyou Radio for four years, and it has truly transformed me from the inside out. The teachings helped me draw closer to God, understand myself better, and encouraged me to live by His Word.

For many years, I battled serious illness, undergoing four brain surgeries, and struggled with mental health challenges. Through it all, Liangyou Radio was my constant companion—and Jesus became my closest friend. Slowly but surely, the heavy burden of low self-esteem lifted, and now my spiritual life is flourishing like never before."

A Life Transformed

"Since I spoke with the radio host over the phone in 2022, my life has taken a new direction—I began teaching children in Sunday school. Thank the Lord, through your guidance, these once rebellious kids have grown to love reading the Bible and have become more loving and joyful.

After Sunday services, I’ve also started mentoring two young people, one of whom struggles with depression. Praise God, they are beginning to experience real change as well."

A Lifeline for My Ministry

"After I began serving in the church, the courses from Liangyou Theological Seminary (LTS) became a steady companion and a deep source of strength for both my personal spiritual growth and my ministry.

One teacher who left a lasting impression was the Homiletics instructor. I would record his lessons on cassette tapes and carefully transcribe every word by hand into my notebook. Because the radio signal was often unclear, I had to replay certain sentences over and over just to catch the meaning.

By the end, I had filled four entire notebooks—just with Homiletics notes. That process not only sharpened my understanding of preaching but also built in me a deep reverence for God’s Word and the responsibility of proclaiming it faithfully."

A Journey of Returning and Growing

"God knew my heart—and in His perfect timing, He led me to rediscover Liangyou Theological Seminary online. I was overwhelmed with joy and deeply moved. Years ago, I had studied LTS’s courses, but over time, I drifted away. Yet by His grace, the Lord brought me back.

That’s why I now treasure this new opportunity to continue learning and finally complete what I began long ago. Since returning, I’ve completed the Lay Training I program, received four certificates, and earned a digital diploma. Now, I’ve joyfully started the Lay Training II program.

One of my long-held dreams is to visit the seminary and meet the teachers who have poured so much into my life through the airwaves. I trust that God, who began this good work, will one day open that door too."

Learning Through Personal Feedback

"This exam was unlike any standard multiple-choice test—it offered something far more valuable: direct interaction with the teacher. Not only did they affirm the strengths in my responses, but they also pointed out areas for improvement and gave practical suggestions to make my answers even stronger—insights I never would have discovered on my own.

In the testimony section, the teacher noted that including Scripture would have provided a stronger biblical foundation. They also shared that ending with a call to action—like urging others to "repent"—would have made the testimony more powerful. These are things I hadn’t considered before, but they’ve given me much to reflect on and will surely shape how I approach future studies and ministry."

Equipped to Serve, Rooted in Truth

"Thank God for His grace and faithful protection! At my pastor’s encouragement, I enrolled in Liangyou Theological Seminary—and it has been a life-changing journey. I’ve dedicated my spare time outside of work to study and take exams, and the experience has been deeply rewarding.

To stand firm in God’s truth, we need both a humble, teachable spirit and solid, systematic biblical training. LTS offers exactly that. Its comprehensive curriculum covers church history, core doctrines, spiritual growth, pastoral care, preaching, church ministry, missions, and discerning heresies—each course thoughtfully designed to build up the body of Christ.

For me, this training has not only deepened my walk with the Lord but also equipped me to serve more effectively in my church. I’m so thankful for this opportunity to grow and be used by God."
