It’s ironic that someone who
doesn’t like public speaking spends so much time talking to so many
people. But such is the marvel of radio. As I sit alone in front of a
microphone, I can reach many folks who often are listening alone. Radio
allows us to come into your homes and cars and become a trusted part of
your lives. We thank you for that.
I was born in Greeneville,
Tennessee, but spent most of my early years in Indiana. My parents
faithfully took us to church, but we were taught that church alone was
not enough. At church camp one year I was burdened with doubt about my
spiritual condition. I prayed to receive Jesus Christ as my Savior. I
knew that being a “good boy” would never be enough when it came to
spiritual matters. I could never be good enough to get myself to Heaven
in my own strength.
I began working in radio as a
teenager, stumbling through interviews on a local 50,000-watt radio
station in Fort Wayne, Indiana. They didn’t make me leave, so I kept
going with this strange and marvellous thing called radio. I was
privileged to work at two other radio stations in Indiana and Tennessee
and later received a degree in broadcasting at Tennessee Temple
University.
Now, through BBN, I am part of a
ministry that presents a message of hope, forgiveness, and spiritual
strength in Jesus Christ. Some of my favorite moments here at BBN come
as I work on programs for young people, as we provide Faith Crossing
dramas, play children’s music and even put up with a little Bogus on
Saturday mornings. |
