One of my favorite things about working in radio is the opportunity to do interviews. Whether it's interviewing a part of our listening family during Share-A-Thon, talking to someone about an event that is coming up, or interviewing an author about a recent book release, I enjoy asking questions that make people think.
In this social media age, we share so much of our lives on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter–yet apparently a majority of Americans who profess to be Christians say their faith should be private. A recent Barna survey showed that...
"And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars..." (Matthew 24:6a). Does it feel to you like this first is happening right before our eyes? If so, would you believe me if I told you that's a good thing? Let's finish out the verse...

My personal verse (Tim) is Isaiah 40:31, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength..." But the verse I find myself quoting the most to myself, my family, and those around me is...
Fear. Despair. Hopelessness. The words themselves can fill the heart and mind with a sense of impending doom. As we look at the situations around us at home and abroad, it could be easy to succumb to the negative thoughts that could easily overwhelm us.
