Your story, what 8 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,080 S1: happened to you maybe decades ago might be exactly what 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,720 S1: somebody needs to hear today. Write the number down.

And five, we stimulate your parasympathetic system. 22 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,720 S1: That's why we call it the five lung languages. We 23 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,240 S1: also stimulate your vagus nerve. We help you release acetylcholine. 24 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,560 S1: And don't you dare forget what it does to cortisol dissipation. 25 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,840 S1: Taking four seconds of air through your nose. Hold it 26 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,280 S1: for four seconds, and then as you release that air 27 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,600 S1: through your mouth, push on the left side of your 28 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,600 S1: rib cage to get rid of all that bad carbon dioxide. 29 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,039 S1: Give a sigh today for Murfin and Devine.

We highly recommend this 49 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,919 S1: walk down memory lane. That is more than that. It's 50 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,240 S1: really a tribute to the faithfulness of God as he 51 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,680 S1: used flawed people to tell the old, old story. Go 52 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,120 S1: to Chris Fabry live.org. Give a gift today. Today's the 53 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,680 S1: last day. Did I say it was the last day? 54 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,840 S1: And thank you for your support of the Radio Backyard fence. 55 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,120 S1: So all this month, we have featured archival clips of 56 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,840 S1: the last 100 years. The voices, the programs, the music, 57 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,480 S1: the metamorphosis of Moody Radio through the Depression and World 58 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,760 S1: War Two and into the present age, the drama. And 59 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,680 S1: I've tried to make room for you, but Larry wrote 60 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,000 S1: me the other day and he called during the program 61 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,720 S1: and he said, thank you for putting me on the air. 62 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,000 S1: My wife of 58 years held my hand as we 63 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,440 S1: related to you and the audience, the impact on us 64 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,760 S1: of the monumental, Moody Radio Men. And he meant Bill Pierce, 65 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,480 S1: Mike Kellogg, and Don Cole. And then he said, I 66 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,320 S1: wish you could spend at least one more legacy day 67 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,200 S1: for listeners to give their stories of Moody radio's impact 68 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,520 S1: on their lives over the years. So here it is. 69 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,960 S1: This is your opportunity. Yesterday, we talked about the future 70 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,760 S1: of Moody Radio with the West Ward and Carl Claussen. 71 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,840 S1: Today it's your turn. What lessons have you learned? How 72 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,480 S1: did this portal help you through some valley in your life? 73 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,040 S1: Or did we put a smile on your face? I 74 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,680 S1: saw somebody respond to this as you. You bring joy 75 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,400 S1: into my home. Eight. Seven. Seven five. Four. Eight three. Six. 76 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,320 S1: Seven five. Our number. All of our lines are open 77 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,640 S1: for you right now. I want to hear from you. (877) 548-3675. 78 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,960 S1: I reached out to a friend. I haven't heard his 79 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,800 S1: voice in a long time. His name is John Maddox. John, 80 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:27,839 S1: how are you doing today? 81 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,719 S2: Hey, Chris. I'm doing well. How are you, sir? 82 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,360 S1: I am doing better now that I get to hear you. 83 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,720 S1: And as I recall now, you worked at CRF for 84 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,440 S1: a while. That's kind of where you started with Moody Radio. 85 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,760 S1: But you go all the way back to Aunt Teresa days, 86 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,440 S1: don't you? 87 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,720 S2: I do. 70 years ago, I was a toddler, a 88 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,040 S2: tiny tot on the Crib Club. Know your Bible Club 89 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,560 S2: with Aunt Teresa. Warm and very fond memories. 90 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,480 S1: Yeah. Did you get a pin for that or. No? 91 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,880 S2: Oh I did, I wish I still had it. That 92 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,239 S2: little red pin. No. Your Bible, that was that was 93 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,160 S2: a keepsake. But I didn't keep it. So I don't know. 94 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,000 S2: I don't have it. 95 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,240 S1: Okay. So tell me the the lessons you learned. Did 96 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,280 S1: you learn anything from your time, either as a listener 97 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,159 S1: to Moody Radio, which you were, but you also worked 98 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,240 S1: and then you went to focus on the family and 99 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,240 S1: then you came back to Moody Radio. So you've had 100 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,200 S1: a long history in radio. Any lesson that sticks in 101 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,200 S1: your soul today? 102 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,720 S2: Oh wow. So many lessons learned through my experience. I 103 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,240 S2: came to CRF in Cleveland in 1973, so I was 104 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,640 S2: around for the 50th anniversary of WMBI, as well as 105 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,360 S2: the 75th in 2001. But what I remember, uh, are 106 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:48,200 S2: the people and, uh, the joy of working with really talented, godly, uh, 107 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,320 S2: dedicated to Christ people and bosses, you know, like Bob 108 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,000 S2: Neff and like Joe Stowell and Dennis Shearer. And I 109 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:02,400 S2: just could go on and on. And of, uh, helpful, uh, 110 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:08,120 S2: advisors like radio pastor Don Cole and so many others. 111 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,960 S2: So yeah, what I remember is the, uh, commitment to excellence. 112 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,640 S2: I learned that from Doctor Sweeting himself, right? The commitment 113 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,440 S2: to integrity. I learned that from Bob Neff and the 114 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,280 S2: commitment to forward thinking, looking down the road to see 115 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,520 S2: what's happening. Got that from Jim Goodrich. 116 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,320 S1: You know what I remember from you, John? Uh, I remember, 117 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,640 S1: and I think it was in some meeting and Greg 118 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,120 S1: and I were there and, uh, I actually paid attention 119 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,360 S1: that day. And, uh, and you said something about there 120 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,440 S1: is a time coming. Now, this was, I think it 121 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,719 S1: was in the early 90s. There is a time coming 122 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:55,000 S1: when people won't use the radio like they use it today. 123 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,800 S1: They will have a device. You didn't say a phone. 124 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,440 S1: You said they will have a device and they will 125 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,640 S1: have the programs on that device, and they will take 126 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,440 S1: it with them, and they will listen to it on 127 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,880 S1: their way to to work or the driving, whatever they're doing. 128 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,800 S1: And this is the future. And I looked at Greg 129 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,120 S1: and I said, what in the world? What in the 130 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,280 S1: world is this guy talking about? And it's like, I 131 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,920 S1: don't know what magazine you were reading, but but it, 132 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,360 S1: it came true, didn't it? 133 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,120 S2: It did. In fact, I remember writing an article with 134 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,000 S2: Brant Gustafson about the future of Radio Christian radio for 135 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,160 S2: the NRB magazine. And what we envisioned was the day 136 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,560 S2: when people would be able to listen to programming on 137 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,920 S2: their terms. So, you know, I want to hear focus 138 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,280 S2: on the family. I want to hear it now. I 139 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,679 S2: don't have to wait until it's heard on my local station. 140 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,000 S2: So I'll archive it on whatever device I'm using and 141 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,360 S2: I'll listen to it when I'm ready, or you get 142 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,760 S2: up in the morning and you're predetermined. Programming that you 143 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,400 S2: subscribe to is available to you on demand. And I mean, 144 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,680 S2: I wasn't that smart back then, but somehow all that 145 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,400 S2: came to pass and more, right? 146 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,000 S3: It did. It really did. 147 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,520 S1: And you were there through all these developments that Moody radio, 148 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,760 S1: especially the the satellite was the was the big thing 149 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,240 S1: in the early 80s. Right. 150 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,840 S2: Oh my goodness. Yes. And, you know, we owe our 151 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,480 S2: debt to Bob Neff, our leader at the time, the 152 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,600 S2: vice president who's now with the Lord. And Jim Goodrich, 153 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,320 S2: Jim Goodrich in particular, had a vision for reaching the 154 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,680 S2: entire country by satellite. And, you know, this was space 155 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,440 S2: age stuff to us. We were trying to think what? 156 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,920 S2: Say that again. How is that going to work? But 157 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,080 S2: he was very technically oriented and future minded. And he 158 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:54,290 S2: developed this concept of being able to feed FM translators 159 00:08:54,290 --> 00:08:57,970 S2: by satellite, and we had to get a petition to 160 00:08:58,010 --> 00:09:02,370 S2: the FCC in order to have that. Granted. And back then, 161 00:09:02,690 --> 00:09:06,010 S2: the FCC was trying to figure out who qualifies even 162 00:09:06,010 --> 00:09:11,850 S2: to have educational, noncommercial stations and petitions were filed by 163 00:09:11,850 --> 00:09:15,410 S2: people who were against it. People like Lansman and Milam 164 00:09:15,410 --> 00:09:21,650 S2: did the RM 2493 petition in 1974, saying religious radio 165 00:09:21,929 --> 00:09:26,490 S2: should not be allowed to have noncommercial frequencies, and that 166 00:09:26,490 --> 00:09:29,570 S2: was a big deal back then. But again, through the 167 00:09:29,570 --> 00:09:36,170 S2: Lord's grace and guidance and visual visionary men and women, 168 00:09:36,650 --> 00:09:40,569 S2: these things came to pass, where we're now broadcasting by satellite, 169 00:09:40,610 --> 00:09:42,250 S2: really all over the country. 170 00:09:42,410 --> 00:09:42,850 S3: Yeah. 171 00:09:42,850 --> 00:09:45,650 S1: And then the internet came along. John, it's so good 172 00:09:45,650 --> 00:09:47,850 S1: to hear your voice. I thank you for your your 173 00:09:47,850 --> 00:09:52,050 S1: wisdom through the years and the the encouragement that you 174 00:09:52,090 --> 00:09:56,410 S1: always gave those of us behind the microphone. And, um, 175 00:09:56,450 --> 00:09:59,930 S1: I think, I think what you just described, there are 176 00:09:59,929 --> 00:10:03,450 S1: so many things that happen behind the scenes that as 177 00:10:03,450 --> 00:10:06,370 S1: a listener, even as a person who worked at Moody Radio, 178 00:10:06,410 --> 00:10:09,250 S1: I had no idea all this was going on. But 179 00:10:09,250 --> 00:10:11,930 S1: thank God that it that it was and that it did, 180 00:10:11,970 --> 00:10:14,690 S1: and that were faithful men and women who were working 181 00:10:14,690 --> 00:10:18,170 S1: at that and doing that. That's John Maddox, pal of 182 00:10:18,170 --> 00:10:21,650 S1: mine from Indiana. Now, I want to hear from you 183 00:10:21,770 --> 00:10:24,130 S1: the lessons you have learned, the way that Moody Radio 184 00:10:24,130 --> 00:10:28,170 S1: has reached into your life. Or maybe there's something humorous. 185 00:10:28,170 --> 00:10:30,370 S1: You want to tell me that you laughed out loud. 186 00:10:30,410 --> 00:10:37,170 S1: (877) 548-3675 more straight ahead on Moody Radio. 187 00:10:45,330 --> 00:10:48,330 S4: Hey, Chris. Roger here. And I just wanted to say 188 00:10:48,370 --> 00:10:51,610 S4: happy 100th birthday to Moody Radio. You know, I had 189 00:10:51,610 --> 00:10:55,089 S4: the privilege of attending and graduating from Moody Bible Institute, 190 00:10:55,090 --> 00:10:57,570 S4: and then later was able to serve at Moody Radio 191 00:10:57,570 --> 00:11:01,089 S4: for 20 years. And I'm happy to say that I'm 192 00:11:01,090 --> 00:11:03,930 S4: still serving the Lord as a missionary. And part of 193 00:11:03,929 --> 00:11:07,010 S4: what I've been able to do is create content and 194 00:11:07,010 --> 00:11:10,530 S4: provide radio training and coaching to broadcasters around the world. 195 00:11:11,210 --> 00:11:13,450 S4: And much of what I teach is drawn from the 196 00:11:13,450 --> 00:11:15,730 S4: many things I learned while serving at Moody, of course. 197 00:11:15,730 --> 00:11:18,370 S4: But one of the main lessons that I try to 198 00:11:18,370 --> 00:11:21,329 S4: share with people wherever I go is something I learned 199 00:11:21,330 --> 00:11:24,210 S4: when I was a freshman in college while serving in 200 00:11:24,210 --> 00:11:28,490 S4: a radio program called live with Ron Hutchcraft. The target 201 00:11:28,490 --> 00:11:31,329 S4: audience was teenagers. It was like a youth group on 202 00:11:31,330 --> 00:11:34,890 S4: the air. We had music from popular Christian artists in 203 00:11:34,890 --> 00:11:39,729 S4: studio guests, many of whom were local youth groups, messages 204 00:11:39,730 --> 00:11:44,010 S4: from Ron, of course, and radio drama. And everyone else 205 00:11:44,010 --> 00:11:48,690 S4: on the team was funny and talented and confident, and 206 00:11:48,690 --> 00:11:51,329 S4: we had such a great time creating radio drama segments 207 00:11:51,330 --> 00:11:54,690 S4: for the program. But honestly, I didn't feel like I 208 00:11:54,690 --> 00:11:59,530 S4: was really contributing much at all, and I didn't think 209 00:11:59,530 --> 00:12:02,850 S4: I had much to offer to the team. So toward 210 00:12:02,850 --> 00:12:04,770 S4: the end of that first school year, I went to 211 00:12:04,809 --> 00:12:08,850 S4: the producer, Todd Busteed, and I said, listen, I don't 212 00:12:08,850 --> 00:12:11,370 S4: want to drag the rest of the team down and 213 00:12:11,490 --> 00:12:14,089 S4: I don't want to waste your time or mine either, 214 00:12:14,090 --> 00:12:16,850 S4: for that matter. So if I'm not really making a 215 00:12:16,850 --> 00:12:19,290 S4: difference here, feel free to cut me from the team. 216 00:12:20,570 --> 00:12:23,770 S4: And Todd thought for a second and he said, well, 217 00:12:23,770 --> 00:12:26,250 S4: if you really want to improve, I can give you 218 00:12:26,250 --> 00:12:29,569 S4: some things to work on over the summer. But first, 219 00:12:29,570 --> 00:12:32,689 S4: I think you need to understand why we do what 220 00:12:32,690 --> 00:12:36,370 S4: we do. You need to understand the audience. Why don't 221 00:12:36,370 --> 00:12:38,490 S4: you come up to my office and read some of 222 00:12:38,490 --> 00:12:41,770 S4: the letters we get? Yeah, letters. This was back in 223 00:12:41,770 --> 00:12:46,689 S4: the 1900s before email, but I was shocked to see 224 00:12:46,690 --> 00:12:50,210 S4: a stack of letters on his desk from young people 225 00:12:50,210 --> 00:12:53,170 S4: all over the country. And one of the first ones 226 00:12:53,170 --> 00:12:56,130 S4: I picked up was from a teenage girl who happened 227 00:12:56,130 --> 00:12:59,130 S4: to be a Native American on a reservation out West, 228 00:12:59,850 --> 00:13:02,570 S4: and she wrote, a friend of mine invited me to 229 00:13:02,610 --> 00:13:05,850 S4: her youth group not far from the reservation. And so 230 00:13:05,850 --> 00:13:10,650 S4: I went and I found Jesus. I put my faith 231 00:13:10,650 --> 00:13:14,130 S4: in him. My heart instantly felt peace and joy that 232 00:13:14,130 --> 00:13:17,290 S4: I didn't think was possible. So I went back home 233 00:13:17,290 --> 00:13:21,809 S4: and I was so excited to tell my family, but unfortunately, 234 00:13:22,250 --> 00:13:25,650 S4: they did not share my excitement. They said Jesus was 235 00:13:25,650 --> 00:13:28,490 S4: a white man's religion. They said they didn't want me 236 00:13:28,530 --> 00:13:31,930 S4: having any contact with my friend anymore, and they forbade 237 00:13:31,929 --> 00:13:34,089 S4: me from ever leaving the reservation and going to that 238 00:13:34,090 --> 00:13:39,290 S4: youth group ever again. And so now the only Christian 239 00:13:39,290 --> 00:13:42,530 S4: friends I have and the only youth group I can 240 00:13:42,530 --> 00:13:46,329 S4: attend is the one on the radio in my room 241 00:13:46,530 --> 00:13:50,530 S4: on Saturday nights. And man, I read that. And I 242 00:13:50,530 --> 00:13:52,410 S4: still get tears in my eyes as I think about it. 243 00:13:52,410 --> 00:13:54,850 S4: And I was like, Lord, if I can play even 244 00:13:54,850 --> 00:13:59,329 S4: the smallest part in ministering to that girl and reaching 245 00:13:59,330 --> 00:14:04,490 S4: others like her in the process, I'm all in. And so, 246 00:14:05,010 --> 00:14:06,610 S4: you know, when I think about the many things the 247 00:14:06,610 --> 00:14:10,010 S4: Lord taught me through moody radio experiences through the past 248 00:14:10,010 --> 00:14:13,970 S4: several decades, that first lesson is still the one that 249 00:14:13,970 --> 00:14:18,010 S4: sticks with me and impacts everything I do. The power 250 00:14:18,010 --> 00:14:23,090 S4: of the Lord to take our seemingly insignificant offerings and 251 00:14:23,090 --> 00:14:27,650 S4: make a difference, even if it's an audience of only 252 00:14:27,650 --> 00:14:34,730 S4: one lost sheep. So happy 100th birthday. Moody radio. Godspeed. 253 00:14:35,610 --> 00:14:35,970 S3: Roger. 254 00:14:35,970 --> 00:14:40,170 S1: Thank you. Um, and maybe you're there today. Maybe you're 255 00:14:40,170 --> 00:14:43,170 S1: asking that same question. AM I making a difference? AM 256 00:14:43,170 --> 00:14:47,010 S1: I am I making any kind of difference here where 257 00:14:47,010 --> 00:14:51,210 S1: I am? You don't know. You don't know what your 258 00:14:51,210 --> 00:14:55,970 S1: surrender will do. Wherever you are. So take that away 259 00:14:55,970 --> 00:15:00,850 S1: from today. Uh. Eight. 775. Four. Eight three. Six. Seven. Five. 260 00:15:00,890 --> 00:15:04,490 S1: The lessons you've learned. Sarah, is in Cleveland, Ohio. Hi, Sarah. 261 00:15:04,490 --> 00:15:05,650 S1: Why did you call today? 262 00:15:06,850 --> 00:15:10,290 S5: Hi. I actually, you know, it's easy to forget, but 263 00:15:10,290 --> 00:15:12,770 S5: a long, long time ago. I'm a grandma now. But 264 00:15:12,770 --> 00:15:15,050 S5: when my kids were little, I was taking them back 265 00:15:15,050 --> 00:15:21,450 S5: and forth to a school. Had huge financial problems, marriage problems, uh, 266 00:15:21,490 --> 00:15:24,290 S5: just all kinds of problems. But I thought of myself 267 00:15:24,290 --> 00:15:26,970 S5: as a pretty good person, and I thought of myself 268 00:15:26,970 --> 00:15:30,290 S5: as like, uh, you know what I mean? But I 269 00:15:30,290 --> 00:15:33,210 S5: was not saved. I didn't know the Lord. And through 270 00:15:33,250 --> 00:15:38,050 S5: Larry Burkett, uh, I was like, so desperate. Thank God 271 00:15:38,050 --> 00:15:41,810 S5: for problems that make us desperate. I started listening, even 272 00:15:41,850 --> 00:15:44,610 S5: though I had always kind of looked down on quote 273 00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:49,210 S5: unquote Bible people. And long story short, I was like, wow, 274 00:15:49,330 --> 00:15:52,370 S5: I couldn't get over all the practical information in these 275 00:15:52,370 --> 00:15:57,570 S5: people sounding very intelligent. And, and that caused me to 276 00:15:57,610 --> 00:16:02,170 S5: listen to more things like focus on the family and, um, 277 00:16:02,410 --> 00:16:06,970 S5: Elizabeth Elliot and Donald Cole. And pretty soon I couldn't 278 00:16:06,970 --> 00:16:10,090 S5: get enough. And it's somewhere along that line I got saved. And, 279 00:16:10,130 --> 00:16:12,610 S5: you know, I just thank God for Moody radio. 280 00:16:13,290 --> 00:16:16,890 S1: Aren't you glad for somewhere along the line for the process, 281 00:16:17,330 --> 00:16:19,610 S1: you know that God brings you through. Was there something 282 00:16:19,650 --> 00:16:23,330 S1: that Larry Burkett said or that he that he talked 283 00:16:23,330 --> 00:16:25,850 S1: about that really captured you? 284 00:16:27,410 --> 00:16:32,890 S5: Huh. I would say based on the person I was with, um, 285 00:16:32,890 --> 00:16:37,050 S5: for whatever reason, it's not important. A lot of distrust of, 286 00:16:37,570 --> 00:16:42,410 S5: Of whatever religious people, and I just had wrong opinions 287 00:16:42,410 --> 00:16:47,770 S5: about Bible believing people. Yeah. And so he just sounded 288 00:16:47,770 --> 00:16:53,090 S5: so gentle, articulate. And it, it suddenly hit me, oh 289 00:16:53,130 --> 00:16:55,370 S5: my gosh, they're making so much sense. The Bible has 290 00:16:55,370 --> 00:16:58,130 S5: something to say about money. Maybe it has something to 291 00:16:58,130 --> 00:17:00,690 S5: say about a lot of things. I just never really 292 00:17:00,690 --> 00:17:04,650 S5: considered it. And so that, you know, just, you know, 293 00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:08,170 S5: I mean, that the word of God is inerrant. And 294 00:17:08,170 --> 00:17:10,730 S5: I had grown up in a church that did have 295 00:17:11,010 --> 00:17:14,290 S5: portions of Scripture. I'm not sure I'm allowed to say 296 00:17:14,290 --> 00:17:16,970 S5: which denomination. 297 00:17:17,210 --> 00:17:21,850 S1: Yeah, it doesn't matter. I mean, you any you can 298 00:17:21,850 --> 00:17:24,730 S1: have any denomination that will that'll be, you know, kind 299 00:17:24,770 --> 00:17:27,490 S1: of go one way or another or any church they can, 300 00:17:27,530 --> 00:17:31,410 S1: they can teach something a little off off the beaten path. 301 00:17:31,410 --> 00:17:35,369 S1: I've been there too. Um, so I don't say that 302 00:17:35,410 --> 00:17:38,530 S1: you can't say that here, but it's like, I don't 303 00:17:38,530 --> 00:17:40,689 S1: want to offend anybody who might be there might be 304 00:17:40,690 --> 00:17:42,209 S1: in a good church, you know what I'm saying? 305 00:17:43,690 --> 00:17:46,449 S5: Yeah. I think the thing that hits hit me with 306 00:17:46,490 --> 00:17:49,090 S5: years of walking with the Lord is how true it 307 00:17:49,090 --> 00:17:52,929 S5: is from even to Amen. It is all real because 308 00:17:52,930 --> 00:17:57,930 S5: he is real and it is inspired and absolutely practical. 309 00:17:58,250 --> 00:18:01,250 S5: He is the victor. That's all I really got to say. 310 00:18:01,450 --> 00:18:04,889 S1: We needed to hear that today. Friend. Thank you. Sarah 311 00:18:05,290 --> 00:18:08,889 S1: Simon called and he said, I want to thank Moody 312 00:18:08,890 --> 00:18:13,690 S1: Radio for the part it played in my salvation and 313 00:18:13,690 --> 00:18:17,409 S1: my family through the great teaching that you've had on 314 00:18:17,450 --> 00:18:23,250 S1: Moody Radio that sings in my soul here today. Here's Roy. Yeah, 315 00:18:23,290 --> 00:18:26,929 S1: my friend Roy Patterson. Roy. Sign in. How in the 316 00:18:26,930 --> 00:18:27,970 S1: world are you, friend? 317 00:18:28,010 --> 00:18:31,210 S6: Man, I am good. It's so good to talk to you. 318 00:18:31,570 --> 00:18:37,330 S1: Same here. Have you got that book finished? But you knew. 319 00:18:37,530 --> 00:18:39,209 S7: You knew I was going to ask you, didn't it? 320 00:18:39,210 --> 00:18:39,650 S7: Didn't you? 321 00:18:40,010 --> 00:18:41,890 S6: Yeah, I did. And you know what? I have been 322 00:18:41,890 --> 00:18:45,490 S6: doing some writing, and every time I do sit down, it's. 323 00:18:45,770 --> 00:18:48,850 S6: It's fun and it's refreshing, but I've got a ways 324 00:18:48,850 --> 00:18:51,609 S6: to go. So thanks for the reminder again, Chris. 325 00:18:51,650 --> 00:18:54,570 S1: You just keep on writing, my friend. You do that. 326 00:18:54,570 --> 00:18:57,410 S1: Pour your heart out. Okay. We've talked about a lot 327 00:18:57,450 --> 00:19:01,050 S1: of lessons learned through the years. Yeah, but for you, 328 00:19:01,090 --> 00:19:04,130 S1: what did anything bubble to the surface of your own heart? 329 00:19:04,850 --> 00:19:08,770 S6: Well, you know two things. One is, uh, avid listener 330 00:19:08,770 --> 00:19:11,929 S6: to Moody Radio. Got introduced when I was a teenager. Uh, 331 00:19:11,930 --> 00:19:14,690 S6: my mom made me turn away from the stations that 332 00:19:14,690 --> 00:19:18,290 S6: were playing secular music and, um, said, hey, you gotta 333 00:19:18,290 --> 00:19:21,970 S6: listen to Moody radio. And eventually I, I did and 334 00:19:22,010 --> 00:19:26,530 S6: heard great messages by Evie Hill and Tony Evans and 335 00:19:26,530 --> 00:19:30,050 S6: David Jeremiah and the list goes on and on. Uh, 336 00:19:30,050 --> 00:19:33,530 S6: people that just really shared hope and love with me. 337 00:19:33,650 --> 00:19:37,330 S6: I was only 14, 15, 16 years old. And, um, 338 00:19:37,369 --> 00:19:41,730 S6: hearing a Josh McDowell talk about apologetics meant the world 339 00:19:41,730 --> 00:19:45,050 S6: to me. Uh, Moody Radio also inspired me when it 340 00:19:45,050 --> 00:19:48,609 S6: came to working for Moody Radio. I had the privilege 341 00:19:48,609 --> 00:19:52,250 S6: of doing a program called Urban Praise in Chicago. And 342 00:19:52,250 --> 00:19:55,290 S6: what some people might not know is that the show 343 00:19:55,330 --> 00:19:59,490 S6: was really geared toward African Americans and Hispanic people, and 344 00:19:59,490 --> 00:20:01,690 S6: we just had a blast. I had a friend named 345 00:20:01,690 --> 00:20:05,530 S6: Morris Diaz, and I used to call him Kumo d s, 346 00:20:05,890 --> 00:20:09,050 S6: and we just had a blast sharing the good news 347 00:20:09,050 --> 00:20:12,690 S6: of Christ and had a certain flavor to it. I 348 00:20:12,690 --> 00:20:15,570 S6: also am grateful for the fact that at one point 349 00:20:15,570 --> 00:20:18,689 S6: I said to a programmer, hey, I think it would 350 00:20:18,730 --> 00:20:22,450 S6: be great if we played Richard Smallwood and Fred Hammond 351 00:20:22,490 --> 00:20:26,770 S6: and Yolanda Adams, etc. Kirk Franklin. And the person said, no, 352 00:20:26,770 --> 00:20:30,130 S6: that's that's not going to happen. And I said, okay. Uh, 353 00:20:30,250 --> 00:20:33,210 S6: about a few months later, they were gone. within a year. 354 00:20:33,290 --> 00:20:36,129 S6: I was hosting a program called Celebration of Praise, and 355 00:20:36,130 --> 00:20:39,889 S6: so I would play Chris Tomlin and Point of Grace, 356 00:20:40,210 --> 00:20:47,010 S6: Fred Hammond, Yolanda Adams, Kirk Franklin. Hey, what God has 357 00:20:47,010 --> 00:20:49,450 S6: for you is for you. And I knew the body 358 00:20:49,450 --> 00:20:53,729 S6: of Christ would be blessed if we blended some things. Uh, 359 00:20:53,770 --> 00:20:56,889 S6: and then to have, uh, stellar award winning program called 360 00:20:56,890 --> 00:21:00,450 S6: Urban praise and, um, the joy of sharing that with 361 00:21:00,450 --> 00:21:02,889 S6: people and, and finding out you don't have to be 362 00:21:02,890 --> 00:21:05,969 S6: a black person to enjoy black music. Just like you 363 00:21:05,970 --> 00:21:08,930 S6: don't have to be a white person to enjoy white music. 364 00:21:09,170 --> 00:21:11,409 S6: God has designed this thing in such a way. We 365 00:21:11,410 --> 00:21:14,130 S6: can all be edified. We can all be blessed. And 366 00:21:14,130 --> 00:21:17,369 S6: it's like a stew. We flavor each other. Uh. I 367 00:21:17,369 --> 00:21:19,129 S6: don't have to be a tomato. I don't have to 368 00:21:19,130 --> 00:21:22,690 S6: be a potato. But I can be who God has 369 00:21:22,690 --> 00:21:24,729 S6: made me. And hopefully that will bless you. And who 370 00:21:24,770 --> 00:21:27,570 S6: you are will bless me. And so when I think 371 00:21:27,570 --> 00:21:30,050 S6: of Moody radio and the opportunities that I've had as 372 00:21:30,050 --> 00:21:34,689 S6: a station manager. As a community representative and also special 373 00:21:34,690 --> 00:21:37,890 S6: assistant to the president, I think of a place that 374 00:21:37,890 --> 00:21:41,730 S6: has tremendous potential to show the world how we ought 375 00:21:41,730 --> 00:21:44,130 S6: to love each other and how we ought to respect 376 00:21:44,130 --> 00:21:44,770 S6: each other. 377 00:21:44,810 --> 00:21:47,330 S1: Yes. And we haven't always gotten that right. You know, 378 00:21:47,369 --> 00:21:50,090 S1: we haven't always done the best that, you know, we 379 00:21:50,130 --> 00:21:52,850 S1: there was a lot of places where we can improve. 380 00:21:53,050 --> 00:21:56,290 S1: But I think what you're talking about, the whole idea 381 00:21:56,290 --> 00:21:59,450 S1: of unity and how do we bring people together? I 382 00:21:59,450 --> 00:22:01,970 S1: love what Tozer talked about. You know, a room full 383 00:22:01,970 --> 00:22:05,170 S1: of 100 pianos. If you try to tune them to 384 00:22:05,210 --> 00:22:08,169 S1: each other to get unity, you're not going to do it. 385 00:22:08,330 --> 00:22:10,610 S1: If you take the tuning fork, if you go to 386 00:22:10,650 --> 00:22:13,970 S1: the absolute, you know, in a four, one, 44 or 387 00:22:13,970 --> 00:22:17,090 S1: whatever it is, right? If you go to that, if 388 00:22:17,090 --> 00:22:19,730 S1: you go to the standard and you put your face 389 00:22:19,730 --> 00:22:24,170 S1: toward Jesus, then automatically you become unified, right? 390 00:22:24,570 --> 00:22:28,450 S6: He's, he's the standard. As long as we yield ourselves 391 00:22:28,450 --> 00:22:31,889 S6: to him And obey him, worship him, and we can 392 00:22:31,890 --> 00:22:34,170 S6: do it together. There are times where I want to 393 00:22:34,210 --> 00:22:37,810 S6: sing a hand-clapping foot stomping song because he's worthy of that. 394 00:22:37,850 --> 00:22:40,090 S6: There's other times I do want to hear a harpsichord. 395 00:22:40,130 --> 00:22:43,610 S6: I want to hear just some guitar music. It all 396 00:22:43,609 --> 00:22:48,450 S6: glorifies God as long as it's representing Christ. And it's 397 00:22:48,450 --> 00:22:51,250 S6: funny how we can come together and be blessed when 398 00:22:51,250 --> 00:22:52,850 S6: we tune our hearts toward him. 399 00:22:53,570 --> 00:22:56,090 S1: Royal of your heart and want to have you on 400 00:22:56,090 --> 00:22:57,770 S1: when that book is done. Okay. 401 00:22:59,450 --> 00:23:02,570 S6: I love you. I love Moody radio. Happy birthday. 402 00:23:04,250 --> 00:23:06,770 S1: There he is, Roy Patterson. What a, what a what 403 00:23:06,810 --> 00:23:10,490 S1: a heart. What a voice. Uh, Mark is in Illinois. 404 00:23:10,530 --> 00:23:13,530 S1: I think this is Mark Lindsay. We were old pals. Mark, 405 00:23:13,530 --> 00:23:14,850 S1: what do you call in about? 406 00:23:15,930 --> 00:23:18,729 S8: Well, first I want to tell you that if I 407 00:23:19,010 --> 00:23:24,810 S8: remember the United Kingdom correctly, their concert day is 444. 408 00:23:24,850 --> 00:23:26,850 S8: Our concert a here in the US is. 409 00:23:26,850 --> 00:23:30,460 S1: 440 Yes. Okay, you got it. I know there's a 410 00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:31,580 S1: two fours in there. 411 00:23:33,020 --> 00:23:36,340 S8: Now, the humor. I want to tell you that in 412 00:23:36,340 --> 00:23:38,860 S8: the book of Proverbs, it says, A merry heart maketh 413 00:23:38,859 --> 00:23:42,300 S8: good medicine. And in the New Testament, when Paul says, 414 00:23:42,619 --> 00:23:45,979 S8: God loves a cheerful giver, the original Greek is the 415 00:23:45,980 --> 00:23:48,060 S8: same word from which we get hilarious. 416 00:23:50,380 --> 00:23:51,060 S1: Love it. 417 00:23:51,100 --> 00:23:52,900 S8: God loves a hilarious giver. 418 00:23:53,300 --> 00:23:55,300 S1: Yes, I agree. 419 00:23:56,660 --> 00:24:00,859 S8: G. G.K. Chesterton ended his book orthodoxy, and that's a 420 00:24:00,859 --> 00:24:03,300 S8: dry title for what is basically a fun book. He 421 00:24:03,300 --> 00:24:07,420 S8: ended it by saying, you know, I've often thought about 422 00:24:07,420 --> 00:24:10,740 S8: what kind of communion Jesus and the father shared when 423 00:24:10,740 --> 00:24:13,900 S8: Jesus was alone with him. And he ends the book 424 00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:18,780 S8: with this sentence, I fancy that it was mirth. MIRTH. 425 00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:23,179 S8: And if anybody ever asks me why does God put 426 00:24:23,180 --> 00:24:25,940 S8: humor in his scriptures, I would say it's because he 427 00:24:25,940 --> 00:24:29,300 S8: loves us. now. I heard a bit of it on 428 00:24:29,340 --> 00:24:32,020 S8: Moody Radio recently. It might even have been on your show. 429 00:24:32,060 --> 00:24:35,060 S8: I don't remember whose show it was on, but. But 430 00:24:35,060 --> 00:24:40,220 S8: this teacher was talking about the story of, of, of, 431 00:24:40,220 --> 00:24:47,020 S8: of Peter and Jesus not having a temple tax with him. And, and, uh, 432 00:24:47,060 --> 00:24:50,980 S8: someone asked Jesus, well, don't your disciples pay the temple tax? And, 433 00:24:51,460 --> 00:24:53,580 S8: you know, and he and Peter have a little talk 434 00:24:53,580 --> 00:24:56,380 S8: about that. And he says, Peter, I want you to 435 00:24:56,380 --> 00:24:58,300 S8: go out and find a fish. I want you, I 436 00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:00,780 S8: want you to catch a fish and you'll find a coin. 437 00:25:00,820 --> 00:25:03,620 S8: You'll find a coin in its mouth. And the what 438 00:25:03,619 --> 00:25:07,340 S8: this teacher said was that Jesus was kidding around with Peter. 439 00:25:07,340 --> 00:25:10,620 S8: He used the phrase messing around because Peter was a 440 00:25:10,619 --> 00:25:14,420 S8: fisherman for a living, and he knew many nights of 441 00:25:14,420 --> 00:25:16,820 S8: not being able to catch a fish at all. And 442 00:25:17,420 --> 00:25:20,740 S8: and Jesus is in effect saying to him, well, you know, 443 00:25:20,780 --> 00:25:23,500 S8: you think you know how to fish? Well, I'm gonna 444 00:25:23,540 --> 00:25:25,820 S8: bring you one that has a coin in its mouth. 445 00:25:25,859 --> 00:25:28,780 S8: Look at that. I can provide all your needs here. 446 00:25:29,060 --> 00:25:31,980 S1: How many times had Peter gone out fishing and never 447 00:25:31,980 --> 00:25:33,860 S1: caught a fish with a coin in its mouth? And 448 00:25:33,859 --> 00:25:36,580 S1: there he went out. Mark. That's great. And I've got 449 00:25:36,580 --> 00:25:40,740 S1: some other responses of people who say the hilarity that 450 00:25:40,740 --> 00:25:44,660 S1: you're talking about, that heart, laughter, that mirth that they 451 00:25:44,660 --> 00:25:51,179 S1: received that from Moody Radio. Thanks for your call. (877) 548-3675 452 00:25:51,220 --> 00:26:08,180 S1: is our number. Moody radio lessons, humor and more. April 453 00:26:08,180 --> 00:26:10,780 S1: said on Facebook. 30 years ago, I got engaged on 454 00:26:10,780 --> 00:26:14,659 S1: the air to the son of the station manager for WDM, 455 00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:17,260 S1: the late Layne Morgan. Scott and I have been together 456 00:26:17,260 --> 00:26:20,620 S1: since then. It was during a very low valley that 457 00:26:20,619 --> 00:26:24,060 S1: the Morgan family came into my life and helped rescue me. 458 00:26:24,540 --> 00:26:27,060 S1: I've always been thankful for the role of Moody Radio 459 00:26:27,060 --> 00:26:30,020 S1: in my Christian walk. And there it is. There's that 460 00:26:30,020 --> 00:26:33,260 S1: family connection, and not a whole lot of people get 461 00:26:33,260 --> 00:26:36,379 S1: engaged on the air. I get that. But do you 462 00:26:36,380 --> 00:26:38,899 S1: do you hear that? There's a thread that is running 463 00:26:38,900 --> 00:26:42,860 S1: through our conversation today, and Barbara is in Ohio to 464 00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:45,100 S1: add to it. Hi, Barbara. Why'd you call today? 465 00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:51,980 S9: Hi there. Well, I to to be succinct, here I 466 00:26:51,980 --> 00:26:55,940 S9: was in the the line at the bank and the 467 00:26:55,940 --> 00:26:59,619 S9: teller had just come. It was the drive through and 468 00:26:59,619 --> 00:27:02,820 S9: she had just come on the screen. And I had 469 00:27:02,820 --> 00:27:07,699 S9: you on the radio. And suddenly I hear my voice, 470 00:27:08,660 --> 00:27:13,540 S9: and you must have. You must have been playing back 471 00:27:13,540 --> 00:27:20,060 S9: some of your some of the, the programs that that 472 00:27:20,060 --> 00:27:22,460 S9: had to do with what you were talking about that 473 00:27:22,460 --> 00:27:26,940 S9: day because it was a time when you when I 474 00:27:26,980 --> 00:27:30,620 S9: said something real succinct and then you asked me more 475 00:27:30,619 --> 00:27:35,219 S9: questions about it. So you kept me on longer, which 476 00:27:35,220 --> 00:27:40,780 S9: really surprised me. But it just I mean, how do 477 00:27:40,780 --> 00:27:45,580 S9: you how do you conduct business with the teller when 478 00:27:45,580 --> 00:27:49,060 S9: you're ready to, to bust out laughing because you hear 479 00:27:49,060 --> 00:27:50,620 S9: your voice on the radio? 480 00:27:50,940 --> 00:27:56,140 S1: Yes, exactly. Well, Barbara, I, and I don't exactly remember. 481 00:27:56,180 --> 00:27:59,460 S1: I remember several times when people would pull over on 482 00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:01,859 S1: the side of the road, you know, and talk with us, 483 00:28:01,859 --> 00:28:05,179 S1: or when you do the drive through thing and it 484 00:28:05,220 --> 00:28:07,740 S1: doesn't it happen. If you have kids in the car, 485 00:28:07,780 --> 00:28:10,940 S1: doesn't it feel like at the most inopportune moment? Then 486 00:28:10,940 --> 00:28:14,939 S1: I'll come to you when you're busy with something else. Um, 487 00:28:15,700 --> 00:28:19,180 S1: that's good that, but that's real life. What you're talking 488 00:28:19,180 --> 00:28:22,180 S1: about is real life. And that's what we really want 489 00:28:22,220 --> 00:28:24,300 S1: to follow here at Moody Radio is like, we don't 490 00:28:24,300 --> 00:28:31,740 S1: want to present this curated pastiche, something that we paint 491 00:28:31,740 --> 00:28:35,580 S1: by number that looks good but is not real because 492 00:28:35,580 --> 00:28:38,580 S1: it is real. And speaking of real, here's my pal 493 00:28:38,620 --> 00:28:42,700 S1: Deb Solomon. Uh, I first knew Deb when she worked 494 00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:47,380 S1: with Jim Warren, Melinda, and on Prime Time America, and 495 00:28:47,420 --> 00:28:50,620 S1: you knew my friend Jim Marshall down in, I think 496 00:28:50,620 --> 00:28:53,620 S1: it was South Carolina where you two worked together, right, Deb? 497 00:28:54,220 --> 00:28:57,620 S10: Well, actually, I worked with Jim in Chicago. He was 498 00:28:57,620 --> 00:29:00,380 S10: the producer or the engineer for Prime Time America while 499 00:29:00,380 --> 00:29:04,739 S10: I was producing. And then I recommended Jim for the 500 00:29:04,740 --> 00:29:09,060 S10: station manager position at WME in Columbia, South Carolina. 501 00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:13,300 S1: It was your fault. MHK was it MHK down there? Yeah, yeah. 502 00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:15,100 S10: Yeah, that would be WMHK. Okay. 503 00:29:15,140 --> 00:29:18,060 S1: South Carolina is your fault that Jim went away. Okay, 504 00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:21,620 S1: so I've been asking people about lessons that they've learned. 505 00:29:21,620 --> 00:29:24,740 S1: And you have so many lessons. And I even talked 506 00:29:24,740 --> 00:29:29,900 S1: a whole lot about Jim Warren and Melinda Schmidt Korea then, um, 507 00:29:30,420 --> 00:29:33,180 S1: but can you tell us any lessons that you learned 508 00:29:33,180 --> 00:29:34,459 S1: through those years? 509 00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:38,660 S10: Those were those were very formative years for me. Um, 510 00:29:38,660 --> 00:29:42,500 S10: by the way, Melinda Korea got engaged to Dave Schmidt 511 00:29:42,740 --> 00:29:46,220 S10: on Prime Time America that's live on the air. So 512 00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:49,100 S10: we're talking about, you know, well. 513 00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:51,420 S1: They met each other. They met each other on the 514 00:29:51,420 --> 00:29:52,380 S1: air two, didn't they? 515 00:29:52,700 --> 00:29:55,660 S10: Yes. Dave came on as a guest. He was an author. 516 00:29:56,300 --> 00:29:58,420 S10: Melinda said he wasn't a great interview, but he was 517 00:29:58,420 --> 00:30:00,820 S10: a great candidate for a husband. And they've been together 518 00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:01,500 S10: ever since. 519 00:30:01,660 --> 00:30:02,820 S6: So that's. 520 00:30:02,820 --> 00:30:06,140 S10: Great. Shout out to Melinda and Dave. They're great people. Yeah. Um, 521 00:30:06,180 --> 00:30:08,660 S10: but Jim Warren, yes, he was. I worked for him 522 00:30:08,660 --> 00:30:12,020 S10: as a student for three semesters and then later came 523 00:30:12,020 --> 00:30:14,660 S10: back and became the full time producer. And that's right. 524 00:30:14,660 --> 00:30:21,220 S10: When um, Moody Radio went to national broadcasting through satellite. Right. 525 00:30:21,260 --> 00:30:24,940 S10: So that's a big deal. We went national and prime 526 00:30:24,980 --> 00:30:27,820 S10: Time America was one of those programs. So there was 527 00:30:27,820 --> 00:30:29,980 S10: a lot of pressure on the program. And Jim, you know, 528 00:30:30,020 --> 00:30:32,700 S10: to be great. And Jim felt that and was always 529 00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:35,100 S10: trying to be a perfectionist and expected a lot of 530 00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:37,900 S10: the people that worked for him. But Chris, at the 531 00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:42,020 S10: end of every day and not lying, he thanked me 532 00:30:42,020 --> 00:30:44,340 S10: for whatever I had done that day just for being 533 00:30:44,340 --> 00:30:47,100 S10: there and the work that I did every day, no 534 00:30:47,100 --> 00:30:50,140 S10: matter what had happened. And that just drove a lesson 535 00:30:50,140 --> 00:30:52,340 S10: home to me. It meant so much to me that 536 00:30:52,340 --> 00:30:54,500 S10: I realized I needed to continue doing that with the 537 00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:57,820 S10: people that I worked alongside, no matter what the day held, 538 00:30:58,020 --> 00:31:00,500 S10: no matter what the show, how it went. Thank you. 539 00:31:00,500 --> 00:31:03,460 S10: Thank you for your work. Um, gratitude is such a 540 00:31:03,460 --> 00:31:09,100 S10: powerful incentive and it's a powerful, um, blessing to other people. 541 00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,700 S1: Well, it comes through on the air too. It leaks 542 00:31:11,700 --> 00:31:15,500 S1: through with the, you know, with the conversations that you 543 00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:17,220 S1: have on the air. And one of the things I 544 00:31:17,300 --> 00:31:20,820 S1: remember about Jim is the cart that he would take, 545 00:31:20,820 --> 00:31:22,820 S1: because he'd go from the 10th floor down to the 546 00:31:22,820 --> 00:31:26,620 S1: eighth floor, and he'd bring this cart with with a 547 00:31:26,620 --> 00:31:29,739 S1: thesaurus with all kinds of phone books. You know, we 548 00:31:29,740 --> 00:31:34,060 S1: had phone books back there, but and yes, and the colors. 549 00:31:34,220 --> 00:31:35,180 S10: Of different newspapers. 550 00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,940 S1: The highlighters, the highlighters. You had to have. 551 00:31:38,340 --> 00:31:39,180 S10: The post-it notes. 552 00:31:39,220 --> 00:31:42,820 S1: In the phone because he wanted to be prepared. And 553 00:31:42,820 --> 00:31:47,100 S1: I've thought often recently how Jim would thrive with a 554 00:31:47,100 --> 00:31:51,020 S1: home office, you know, with being able to broadcast from 555 00:31:51,020 --> 00:31:53,500 S1: his desk if he had that and not have to 556 00:31:53,540 --> 00:31:54,860 S1: travel like he did. 557 00:31:55,300 --> 00:31:57,980 S10: Yes, yes, he would have. And he would have loved 558 00:31:57,980 --> 00:31:59,820 S10: the internet. I mean, he did when we had it, 559 00:31:59,820 --> 00:32:02,140 S10: but he passed away before it got as big and 560 00:32:02,180 --> 00:32:05,060 S10: common as it is now. And I don't know if 561 00:32:05,060 --> 00:32:06,820 S10: Gene ever would have gotten him off the computer. 562 00:32:07,540 --> 00:32:10,500 S1: Yeah. Talk about Gene. Talk about his wife, Gene. What 563 00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:11,300 S1: you learned from her. 564 00:32:11,340 --> 00:32:13,980 S10: You can't talk about. Yeah. You can't talk about Jim 565 00:32:13,980 --> 00:32:17,900 S10: Warren without talking about his wife, Jean. We said, every 566 00:32:17,900 --> 00:32:20,740 S10: great man is a great woman, and Jean certainly was that. 567 00:32:21,860 --> 00:32:26,180 S10: Quiet but marvelous. She supported him. She would come into 568 00:32:26,180 --> 00:32:29,860 S10: the office after hours with him, you know. And you 569 00:32:29,860 --> 00:32:32,260 S10: know how our offices can get cluttered and things just 570 00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:34,340 S10: get ahead. And so every couple of months, Jean would 571 00:32:34,340 --> 00:32:36,940 S10: come in and they'd put in a late night, uh, 572 00:32:37,020 --> 00:32:39,140 S10: just sorting through and doing things. This is after she'd 573 00:32:39,140 --> 00:32:41,820 S10: already worked a full day and had kids at home. 574 00:32:41,860 --> 00:32:44,500 S10: You know, they had young adults, teenagers for a while. 575 00:32:45,180 --> 00:32:47,900 S10: So Jean was completely devoted to Jim. She would be 576 00:32:47,900 --> 00:32:51,700 S10: his travel companion everywhere they went around the world. And 577 00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:55,060 S10: Jim did a lot of international travel for the program too. Right. 578 00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:57,980 S10: And then later in life, after he retired and he 579 00:32:57,980 --> 00:33:01,740 S10: had some health needs, she became his 24 hour caregiver. 580 00:33:02,740 --> 00:33:07,100 S10: And that was a long time for her. Jean and 581 00:33:07,100 --> 00:33:10,260 S10: I have met again recently, and she's been a blessing 582 00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:14,140 S10: to me because since I was given my retirement papers 583 00:33:14,140 --> 00:33:19,220 S10: a year ago from Moody Radio. I have unexpectedly been 584 00:33:19,220 --> 00:33:23,420 S10: the caregiver for my husband, who's had some issues that 585 00:33:23,420 --> 00:33:25,260 S10: he's been dealing with for the last year, and we're 586 00:33:25,260 --> 00:33:27,020 S10: hoping to see the light at the end of that tunnel. 587 00:33:27,020 --> 00:33:29,740 S10: But it's been a long journey for me, and Gene 588 00:33:29,740 --> 00:33:31,900 S10: has just been a prayer warrior and a comfort and 589 00:33:31,900 --> 00:33:34,660 S10: an encourager to me in this journey, too, and she 590 00:33:34,660 --> 00:33:36,460 S10: just never ceases to amaze me. 591 00:33:37,020 --> 00:33:39,460 S1: It does not surprise me. You know, the other thing 592 00:33:39,460 --> 00:33:42,940 S1: I remember about Jim, because he had this this corner office, 593 00:33:43,460 --> 00:33:48,100 S1: and I remember his family coming in and doing some 594 00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:52,900 S1: redecorating and painting at one point. And when he came back, 595 00:33:52,940 --> 00:33:54,820 S1: you know, it was all it was like brand new. 596 00:33:54,860 --> 00:33:55,940 S1: Do you remember that? 597 00:33:56,260 --> 00:33:58,940 S10: I do, I do. That was a long story. There 598 00:33:58,940 --> 00:34:01,940 S10: was an interior decorator we'd have on the program. What 599 00:34:01,940 --> 00:34:03,620 S10: was his name? Chris. George. 600 00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:08,340 S1: George Anderson. Yes. Yes. Look at that boy. Our minds 601 00:34:08,340 --> 00:34:09,660 S1: are still working, dev. 602 00:34:11,100 --> 00:34:13,340 S10: He came in and looked at the office one day. 603 00:34:13,620 --> 00:34:15,580 S10: You know, he was in Chicago and he said, Jim said, 604 00:34:15,580 --> 00:34:16,859 S10: what do you think I should do with this? And 605 00:34:16,860 --> 00:34:19,500 S10: he laid out a plan and Jim made it happen. 606 00:34:19,540 --> 00:34:22,420 S10: Of course, his his family was the one that. Yeah. 607 00:34:22,460 --> 00:34:25,380 S10: You know, they just all supported Jim. Yeah. Great family. 608 00:34:25,420 --> 00:34:26,460 S10: Really great family. 609 00:34:27,260 --> 00:34:31,140 S1: Deb, I can't, uh, I can't thank you enough. And we've, 610 00:34:31,140 --> 00:34:34,020 S1: we've been doing this thing for, you know, all month 611 00:34:34,020 --> 00:34:37,300 S1: about the 100 years. And we're only scratching the surface, 612 00:34:37,340 --> 00:34:41,299 S1: you know, of the impact of the of moody Radio, 613 00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:44,020 S1: the people, the flawed people. And, you know as well 614 00:34:44,020 --> 00:34:47,460 S1: as I do, we're all flawed people. But God chose 615 00:34:47,460 --> 00:34:51,020 S1: to use those behind the microphone and those who support 616 00:34:51,020 --> 00:34:52,820 S1: those behind the microphone. Right. 617 00:34:53,780 --> 00:34:56,259 S10: Well, I wanted to just say that the examples of 618 00:34:56,260 --> 00:34:59,940 S10: my colleagues, both the hosts like Jim Warren and Chris 619 00:34:59,940 --> 00:35:03,180 S10: Brooks and Janet Parshall and Michael Riedel, like these are 620 00:35:03,180 --> 00:35:06,100 S10: the folks I've worked for through the years, and even 621 00:35:06,100 --> 00:35:08,739 S10: those much more in some ways, those that are behind 622 00:35:09,300 --> 00:35:13,020 S10: the scenes, like your engineer Ryan and God bless Tricia 623 00:35:13,020 --> 00:35:17,219 S10: and Lisa. Chris Sieghart, he's another one. These people have 624 00:35:17,219 --> 00:35:21,620 S10: set such examples for me of Christ like faithfulness in 625 00:35:21,620 --> 00:35:25,380 S10: the little things in the unnoticed corners. Um, our listeners 626 00:35:25,380 --> 00:35:27,940 S10: need to know that when you listen to Moody radio, 627 00:35:28,180 --> 00:35:29,900 S10: the people that you hear on the air and the 628 00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:33,620 S10: people that are serving behind are the real deal, and 629 00:35:33,620 --> 00:35:35,620 S10: they're the same off the air as they are on 630 00:35:35,620 --> 00:35:37,460 S10: the air. And that's all because of the work that 631 00:35:37,460 --> 00:35:39,180 S10: Jesus Christ has done in their lives. 632 00:35:39,500 --> 00:35:43,299 S1: Amen. That's that's where the power is. I can't thank 633 00:35:43,300 --> 00:35:46,140 S1: you enough for for being with us here today. We're 634 00:35:46,140 --> 00:35:49,500 S1: talking about the the legacy of Moody Radio, the lessons 635 00:35:49,500 --> 00:35:52,540 S1: of Moody Radio. Yeah, the fun behind the scenes to 636 00:35:52,540 --> 00:35:55,540 S1: the humor, the laughter that we've had. And I've got 637 00:35:55,580 --> 00:35:59,219 S1: one final segment for you. Don't miss our conversation coming 638 00:35:59,219 --> 00:36:01,859 S1: up in the next segment. That's Deb Solomon. And if 639 00:36:01,860 --> 00:36:04,020 S1: you want a copy of the book, go to Chris 640 00:36:04,060 --> 00:36:08,060 S1: Fabry live.org. We've got a link right there. Chris Fabry 641 00:36:08,060 --> 00:36:08,740 S1: live dot. 642 00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:17,420 S8: Hi, Chris. 643 00:36:17,540 --> 00:36:20,140 S11: This is your old pal Carl Knudson. With a little 644 00:36:20,140 --> 00:36:24,820 S11: trip down w MB memory lane. Moody took a chance 645 00:36:24,820 --> 00:36:27,899 S11: hiring a radio guy from the woods of northern Minnesota 646 00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:32,340 S11: in 1985. In my early Christian years, I would listen 647 00:36:32,340 --> 00:36:36,100 S11: to Moody Radio to Open Line from a radio station 648 00:36:36,100 --> 00:36:39,979 S11: in Duluth. I spent about five years in Chicago with 649 00:36:39,980 --> 00:36:43,900 S11: you and Mike Kellogg and Monty Larick, Bill Davis, Carl Metcalf, 650 00:36:44,540 --> 00:36:46,779 S11: Carl and I used to tease each other because my 651 00:36:46,780 --> 00:36:51,020 S11: name starts with a K Danish and his Carl starts 652 00:36:51,020 --> 00:36:54,860 S11: with a C. Carl served in the Quad Cities long 653 00:36:54,860 --> 00:36:57,540 S11: before I did, so when I moved to W, D, 654 00:36:57,860 --> 00:37:01,620 S11: M as in d l Moody, I always use the 655 00:37:01,620 --> 00:37:05,460 S11: title Carl with a K on the serious side. What 656 00:37:05,460 --> 00:37:08,299 S11: I took away from five years in Chicago and ten 657 00:37:08,300 --> 00:37:12,860 S11: years at a WDLM in the quad cities is basically 658 00:37:12,860 --> 00:37:16,980 S11: a Bible college education. Just from listening to the moody programs, 659 00:37:17,460 --> 00:37:20,300 S11: the music, interviewing some of the people like you do 660 00:37:20,300 --> 00:37:23,859 S11: every day. Chris. During my time in Chicago, I had 661 00:37:23,860 --> 00:37:28,300 S11: the privilege of meeting with Chuck and Winnie Christensen, Erwin Lutzer, 662 00:37:28,300 --> 00:37:31,700 S11: and other Bible teachers when I hosted Radio School of 663 00:37:31,700 --> 00:37:34,540 S11: the Bible for a few years. That was a joy. 664 00:37:35,300 --> 00:37:38,259 S11: One of my funniest memories was fooling Bob Murfin, the 665 00:37:38,260 --> 00:37:41,739 S11: morning man on his own morning program. His wife was 666 00:37:41,739 --> 00:37:45,219 S11: in on the joke, the radio audience on WMB. I 667 00:37:45,260 --> 00:37:48,220 S11: was in on it, but we kept Bob in another 668 00:37:48,219 --> 00:37:50,700 S11: room while we set it up. You see, I did 669 00:37:50,700 --> 00:37:56,140 S11: a fairly good Warren Wiersbe impersonation, and Bob interviewed me 670 00:37:56,140 --> 00:37:59,620 S11: about Where's B's coming schedule for the summer. Well, he 671 00:37:59,620 --> 00:38:01,900 S11: was so taken in by it, it was hard to 672 00:38:01,900 --> 00:38:04,380 S11: convince him at the end that it was really not 673 00:38:04,420 --> 00:38:07,819 S11: Doctor Wiersbe, but he was a good sport and he 674 00:38:07,940 --> 00:38:11,660 S11: never got back at me. After leaving the radio part 675 00:38:11,660 --> 00:38:15,340 S11: of Moody, I stayed with the stewardship department for another 676 00:38:15,340 --> 00:38:18,140 S11: 17 years at Moody, during which time I was able 677 00:38:18,140 --> 00:38:22,020 S11: to have breakfast and lunch periodically with Doctor Wiersbe and 678 00:38:22,020 --> 00:38:26,340 S11: his wife, Betty, in Lincoln, Nebraska. His son, David, once 679 00:38:26,380 --> 00:38:28,860 S11: asked me to do a little impersonation of his dad 680 00:38:28,860 --> 00:38:33,980 S11: in their home, which I did briefly, respectfully. That kind 681 00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:36,859 S11: of thing can be overdone. Of course, you know, I've 682 00:38:36,860 --> 00:38:41,540 S11: never been known to overdo anything. Ahem. Doctor Stohl even 683 00:38:41,580 --> 00:38:43,660 S11: asked me to do a little fun skit with Doctor 684 00:38:43,660 --> 00:38:46,940 S11: Wiersbe at Founder's Week one year. We had planned it 685 00:38:46,940 --> 00:38:50,180 S11: to be off the network, because to the radio audience 686 00:38:50,180 --> 00:38:53,660 S11: that couldn't see us, this wouldn't make much sense. But actually, 687 00:38:53,660 --> 00:38:57,060 S11: we were still on the radio. Doctor Wiersbe was a 688 00:38:57,060 --> 00:38:59,860 S11: very good sport. As we went back and forth with 689 00:38:59,860 --> 00:39:04,259 S11: short one liners, which he was very famous for. My 690 00:39:04,260 --> 00:39:07,859 S11: knees were shaking inside my pants, I remember there was 691 00:39:07,860 --> 00:39:10,779 S11: even a time or two where you, Chris, were the 692 00:39:10,780 --> 00:39:12,660 S11: host of Open Line, and maybe you were out of 693 00:39:12,660 --> 00:39:15,380 S11: town or had the flu. And so they scraped the 694 00:39:15,380 --> 00:39:17,700 S11: bottom of the barrel and let me host the program 695 00:39:17,700 --> 00:39:20,859 S11: a few times. Your job was in no danger at 696 00:39:20,860 --> 00:39:24,980 S11: any time. My wife, Patty, and I had two children, Louis, 697 00:39:25,020 --> 00:39:28,020 S11: a Moody grad, and Leah, and each one has given 698 00:39:28,020 --> 00:39:32,700 S11: us two grandchildren in retirement. We're both active in local church, 699 00:39:32,700 --> 00:39:35,379 S11: and I do a lot of handyman repair work for 700 00:39:35,380 --> 00:39:39,660 S11: some apartment buildings in the area. The building's owner, a Christian, 701 00:39:39,660 --> 00:39:43,060 S11: remembered me from Radio Days, but that's getting a little 702 00:39:43,060 --> 00:39:46,740 S11: more rare now. Well, we're on the road today, heading 703 00:39:46,780 --> 00:39:50,060 S11: to Minnesota for a 50th birthday party for one of 704 00:39:50,060 --> 00:39:53,820 S11: Patty's nephews. Don't you know? Thanks for everything you do, Chris, 705 00:39:53,820 --> 00:39:56,140 S11: and thank you, Moody Radio, for all the years you 706 00:39:56,180 --> 00:39:59,460 S11: gave me. Carl with a K signing off. 707 00:40:00,780 --> 00:40:04,220 S1: I'm so glad that Carl got all of those names 708 00:40:04,219 --> 00:40:07,790 S1: in there. And even Minnesota. And safe travels to you, Carl. 709 00:40:07,830 --> 00:40:10,950 S1: Hope you're listening there on the on the road. Gloria 710 00:40:10,950 --> 00:40:13,509 S1: is in Indiana. Gloria. What what story do you have 711 00:40:13,550 --> 00:40:14,350 S1: for us today? 712 00:40:15,830 --> 00:40:19,350 S12: Well, there's lots, but I've enjoyed Moody. I moved back 713 00:40:19,350 --> 00:40:21,950 S12: to Indiana in 81, and I've been listening to it 714 00:40:21,950 --> 00:40:25,270 S12: pretty much ever since. One thing I really got a 715 00:40:25,270 --> 00:40:28,589 S12: kick out of was participating in share. And when we 716 00:40:28,590 --> 00:40:32,070 S12: used to go to Anderson to their station and, um, 717 00:40:33,190 --> 00:40:36,989 S12: answer the phone and take take people's donations, but I 718 00:40:36,989 --> 00:40:39,950 S12: get a kick out of you and your Friday, you know, 719 00:40:40,710 --> 00:40:43,750 S12: push on your ribs thing. That always gives me a kick. 720 00:40:44,070 --> 00:40:46,509 S12: And I've kept Rudy on. It's the only station in 721 00:40:46,510 --> 00:40:49,390 S12: my car. And whenever I'm in my car, when I 722 00:40:49,430 --> 00:40:51,509 S12: used to have to travel a lot for work. And 723 00:40:51,510 --> 00:40:54,750 S12: so you were always on, always talking and you were 724 00:40:54,750 --> 00:40:57,950 S12: usually on during the time I was going from one 725 00:40:57,950 --> 00:41:00,750 S12: place to another. So I've heard a lot of your shows. 726 00:41:02,110 --> 00:41:05,989 S1: Well, we would be poorer if you hadn't listened. Gloria 727 00:41:05,989 --> 00:41:08,870 S1: and Andrea. Gives me a hard time about. There's one 728 00:41:08,870 --> 00:41:10,830 S1: part in there where I say, push all out all 729 00:41:10,870 --> 00:41:14,430 S1: that bad carbon dioxide. And she keeps saying carbon dioxide 730 00:41:14,430 --> 00:41:17,870 S1: is not bad. It's just bad if it collects in your, 731 00:41:17,910 --> 00:41:21,990 S1: you know, in your lung there. So, uh, she corrects 732 00:41:21,989 --> 00:41:24,549 S1: me every now and then and I can't thank you. 733 00:41:24,590 --> 00:41:27,870 S1: Here's the other thing I wanted to say. You do 734 00:41:27,870 --> 00:41:31,550 S1: not know. As you listen, Gloria, and those of you 735 00:41:31,550 --> 00:41:34,710 S1: who have called in here over the last few years 736 00:41:34,710 --> 00:41:38,470 S1: and asked the question or made a comment, you don't 737 00:41:38,469 --> 00:41:41,390 S1: you do not know what you have done for us 738 00:41:42,110 --> 00:41:45,229 S1: behind the microphone. You don't know what you've done for 739 00:41:45,230 --> 00:41:48,549 S1: me and some really hard times. Just yesterday I put 740 00:41:48,550 --> 00:41:51,670 S1: a back fence post. It's this video that I send out, 741 00:41:51,950 --> 00:41:57,030 S1: and a person watched that video and immediately responded because 742 00:41:57,030 --> 00:41:59,310 S1: I shared something kind of personal at the end of 743 00:41:59,310 --> 00:42:03,310 S1: the video. And she said, I'm, you know, so sorry 744 00:42:03,310 --> 00:42:06,430 S1: about this. And she wanted me to know that she 745 00:42:06,430 --> 00:42:08,750 S1: was thinking of me. And that's the kind of thing 746 00:42:08,750 --> 00:42:13,989 S1: that happens between people, between this side of the microphone 747 00:42:13,989 --> 00:42:16,950 S1: and the other side. And that's what really makes Moody 748 00:42:16,950 --> 00:42:20,350 S1: Radio sing. So all this month we have been talking 749 00:42:20,350 --> 00:42:26,870 S1: about the power of God's Word, transmitted through Moody radio. 750 00:42:27,310 --> 00:42:31,870 S1: And our celebration of this month ends today. And we 751 00:42:31,870 --> 00:42:35,190 S1: have the book This is Moody Radio 100 years Proclaiming 752 00:42:35,190 --> 00:42:38,710 S1: the gospel. A lot of those people that Carl Knudsen 753 00:42:38,710 --> 00:42:42,149 S1: just mentioned are pictured in this book. You'll see some 754 00:42:42,150 --> 00:42:45,630 S1: of the microphones. There's a nice ribbon microphone that's RCA 755 00:42:45,670 --> 00:42:48,069 S1: that's on the very front of it. But if you 756 00:42:48,070 --> 00:42:51,310 S1: give a gift of any size at Chris Fabry live.org, 757 00:42:51,469 --> 00:42:53,390 S1: we will send you a copy. So let me give 758 00:42:53,390 --> 00:42:55,589 S1: you the number and give you the website one more 759 00:42:55,590 --> 00:43:05,989 S1: time before we end today. It's 86695 Fabry. (866) 953-2279. If 760 00:43:06,030 --> 00:43:09,149 S1: you prefer to call someone, talk with someone. Or if 761 00:43:09,150 --> 00:43:13,270 S1: you go to the website, it's just Chris fabry.org. Scroll down, 762 00:43:13,270 --> 00:43:15,790 S1: you'll see how to give a one time gift. Or 763 00:43:15,790 --> 00:43:18,830 S1: you can become a partner with us as well. You'll 764 00:43:18,830 --> 00:43:21,070 S1: see all of that. But do it today because today 765 00:43:21,070 --> 00:43:24,270 S1: is the last day of this offer of this is 766 00:43:24,270 --> 00:43:30,350 S1: Moody Radio 100 years Proclaiming the gospel. Chris Fabry live.org. 767 00:43:31,350 --> 00:43:36,509 S1: I want to end today with a situation. Judy Crone said, Chris, 768 00:43:36,550 --> 00:43:39,550 S1: you got to have this guy, Zach Williams on. Chris. 769 00:43:39,590 --> 00:43:41,910 S1: You got to have him on. And I said, Judy, 770 00:43:41,910 --> 00:43:44,910 S1: I'd like to have him on, but the schedule is 771 00:43:44,950 --> 00:43:47,149 S1: tight and I don't. We get him the studio. Can 772 00:43:47,190 --> 00:43:48,910 S1: we get him there? I think it was a Friday 773 00:43:48,910 --> 00:43:52,270 S1: that he came in and Zach came into studio B 774 00:43:52,310 --> 00:43:55,589 S1: with just his guitar. It was just him and he sang. 775 00:43:55,630 --> 00:43:58,910 S1: At the very beginning of the program, he sang this 776 00:43:59,190 --> 00:44:05,070 S1: song about God being a chain breaker. And something happened 777 00:44:05,070 --> 00:44:09,390 S1: in the intervening time between when he sang that song 778 00:44:09,630 --> 00:44:12,190 S1: and the end of the program. So I want you 779 00:44:12,190 --> 00:44:15,230 S1: to hear that as we end today on Chris Fabry 780 00:44:15,230 --> 00:44:19,910 S1: live production of Moody Radio, a Ministry of Moody Bible Institute. 781 00:44:22,670 --> 00:44:29,549 S13: If you feel lost, he's a way maker. If you 782 00:44:29,550 --> 00:44:35,870 S13: need freedom or saving, he's a prison shaking savior. You 783 00:44:35,910 --> 00:44:40,470 S13: got change. He's a chain breaker. 784 00:44:43,150 --> 00:44:45,790 S1: Let's go to Pat in Illinois. Hey, Pat, what did 785 00:44:45,790 --> 00:44:46,430 S1: you want to say? 786 00:44:47,350 --> 00:44:51,270 S14: I'm an Uber driver part time, and, um, I had 787 00:44:51,310 --> 00:44:54,510 S14: a young guy get in the backseat of my car, and, uh. 788 00:44:57,190 --> 00:45:01,469 S14: Your son, Chainbreaker came on. I cranked it up a 789 00:45:01,469 --> 00:45:04,509 S14: little bit and, uh, he kind of listened. You know, 790 00:45:04,550 --> 00:45:07,910 S14: he said, uh, do you really think, you know, God 791 00:45:07,910 --> 00:45:13,069 S14: could be a chain breaker? And I said, uh, the 792 00:45:13,070 --> 00:45:16,150 S14: guy wouldn't sing it if he couldn't. 793 00:45:16,670 --> 00:45:17,150 S13: Amen. 794 00:45:18,630 --> 00:45:21,790 S14: Wow. And I don't know. I don't know what happened 795 00:45:21,790 --> 00:45:25,750 S14: to that kid, but we had a deep conversation about 796 00:45:26,070 --> 00:45:31,910 S14: life and choices and how Satan wants to define us. And, uh, 797 00:45:32,870 --> 00:45:36,270 S14: I just appreciate that you're where you're at. 798 00:45:36,630 --> 00:45:38,350 S15: Well. Thank you. Thanks for. Man. 799 00:45:38,390 --> 00:45:40,630 S16: That's that was a divine appointment, wasn't it? 800 00:45:40,670 --> 00:45:41,230 S15: Thank you. Yeah. 801 00:45:41,270 --> 00:45:42,230 S16: Okay.

Father God, we just we just want to lift 804 00:45:46,830 --> 00:45:48,469 S15: up this young man that was in the backseat of 805 00:45:48,469 --> 00:45:53,110 S15: this Uber driver's car and Pat's car. Um. God. Um, 806 00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,710 S15: just let him know that he is a chain breaker. Uh, 807 00:45:55,710 --> 00:45:59,110 S15: that's why I wrote it. That's what I believe. I've 808 00:45:59,110 --> 00:46:01,950 S15: had my chains broken along with so many others. So 809 00:46:01,950 --> 00:46:04,830 S15: we're just believing right now that that whatever he's going 810 00:46:04,830 --> 00:46:08,230 S15: through with in life, whatever, um, whatever kind of battles 811 00:46:08,230 --> 00:46:11,109 S15: he's fighting, um, that he would just know that you've 812 00:46:11,110 --> 00:46:14,630 S15: already fought him and you've already won those battles for him. God. And, uh, 813 00:46:14,630 --> 00:46:16,549 S15: so we just lift him up right now and just 814 00:46:16,550 --> 00:46:19,070 S15: believing that you are in control right now of his life. 815 00:46:19,070 --> 00:46:21,150 S15: In Jesus name. Amen. Amen. 816 00:46:21,830 --> 00:46:28,230 S13: If you need freedom, save it. He's a prison shaking savior. 817 00:46:28,390 --> 00:46:35,189 S13: You got chains. He's a chain breaker. Oh, if you 818 00:46:35,190 --> 00:46:41,549 S13: need freedom for saving, he's a prison shaking savior. You 819 00:46:41,550 --> 00:46:46,110 S13: got change. He's a chain breaker. 820 00:46:47,750 --> 00:46:50,230 S1: Thank you, friend, for your part in bringing the message 821 00:46:50,230 --> 00:46:54,589 S1: of the chain breaking power of the gospel through Moody Radio.
