The Story
God has carried CrossTalk from a small beginning into a global Gospel mission.
Scroll through the story of a family ministry using television, music, translation, missions, and technology to help more people encounter Jesus.
1973
A life changed on the road
Randy Weiss was on a honeymoon and record promotion tour with his new wife after a life marked by drugs and brokenness. On that trip, he read The Late Great Planet Earth, gave his life to Jesus, and went all in for ministry.
late 1970s
Learning ministry from mentors
Randy began traveling with mentors, evangelizing, sharing the Gospel, and learning how to communicate Jesus with boldness and clarity.
1980s
Behind the Iron Curtain
Randy, his wife, and their children became part of dangerous international ministry work, helping smuggle Bibles and Christian media where the Gospel was restricted.
Late 1980s
CrossTalk in the Corner
Randy and a friend started CrossTalk in the Corner, a small coffee-shop ministry where Christian music was played and people were told about Jesus, as a segment on a radio show.
Early 1990s
The TV program begins
CrossTalk became a television program. Randy and his son taped shows in their living room, shooting the program twice so one camera could feel like a two-camera broadcast.
Late 1990s
From local broadcast to global reach
The ministry grew. Randy and two of his sons worked out of part of a church parsonage, producing programs that aired locally and expanding to viewers internationally.
2000s
T.V , music, and a bigger vision
CrossTalk eventually moved into its own building with a studio, continuing to create Christian television programs and promote Christian music.
Early 2000s
The Today With God idea
The Today With God project began with a vision to license word-for-word dramatic Bible reenactments and turn them into bite-sized episodes hosted by Randy, helping viewers understand what they were watching.
Early 2010s
Spanish translation and Cuba outreach
The project was translated into Spanish and taken to Cuba on CDs with duplicators so believers could copy and share the Gospel in video form.
2010s
Curriculum, flash drives, and villages
CrossTalk, with the help of local churches, created curriculum, moved the project onto flash drives, and brought duplicators, mini projectors, and speakers into Cuba. Teams went door to door and village to village, showing the Gospel in people’s native tongue. thousands of people were saved as a result!
2023
India and a divine connection
With the Lord’s help, the project was completed in the top 11 languages of India. CrossTalk hosted a pastors conference and met the developer who would help turn the project into a mobile app.
2025
The Today With God app launches
The app launched with the Today With God project, the Bible in over 2,000 languages, and tools for devotion, prayer, curriculum, ministries, churches, and channels.
Today
Still a family ministry, still moving forward
Today, CrossTalk remains a small family ministry with three generations serving together, broadcasting television programs, promoting Christian music, pushing the Gospel through Today With God, and continuing international outreach.
