About this podcast
The Watchman Speaks is a reflective podcast rooted in storytelling and Scripture, offering stories of faith that endure, words of warning and biblical wisdom. Hosted by “The Old Watchman”, Lonnie Richardson – each episode draws from farm life, a thirty year nursing career, loss, suffering, and hope to speak honestly about faith that stands firm when life becomes difficult. These are not sermons or debates, but reflections of Scripture and wisdom for those who are still believing, yet weary, and who long for a deeper, steadier walk with God.
