1 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,280 S1: Today is a special day at the Radio Backyard fence. 2 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,640 S1: A hundred years ago today, Moody Radio began to proclaim 3 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,520 S1: the truth of the gospel over the airwaves. A hundred 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,560 S1: years ago, there were men and women who had the 5 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,439 S1: vision to take a risk and begin a ministry that 6 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,639 S1: still continues to this day. And I've been thinking about 7 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,320 S1: the way Moody Radio has intersected with my own life, 8 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,080 S1: and have been reading responses from listeners over the last 9 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,159 S1: few weeks. And I'm seeing a common thread, and I 10 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,440 S1: want to ask you to tell me if I'm right. 11 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,479 S1: A lot of people found comfort and hope in the 12 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,440 S1: Valley because of Moody Radio. Many who were lonely found 13 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:52,080 S1: a companion, friendly voices who spoke truth or shared laughter 14 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,120 S1: and music at just the right time. A lot of 15 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,720 S1: people were going through a desert experience and found an 16 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,200 S1: oasis When they got in their car and turned on 17 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,440 S1: the radio, their back was to the Red sea, and 18 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,440 S1: Pharaoh and his army were coming metaphorically on Facebook. I 19 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,800 S1: asked this question, Did Moody Radio reach you in some 20 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,440 S1: valley of your life? Some low moment? What's your story? 21 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,240 S1: I'm going to open the phone lines today on this 22 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:26,600 S1: 100th anniversary of Moody Radio (877) 548-3675. As we celebrate God's 23 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,199 S1: faithfulness through the flawed people of Moody Radio, that's another 24 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,120 S1: theme I see. God uses broken people, cracked pots, and sinners. 25 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,600 S1: Aren't you glad that he does? I see that in 26 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,080 S1: the Bible. I see it down through history and I 27 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,400 S1: see it in this ministry. I have several guests I 28 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,880 S1: want you to hear from, but I really want to 29 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,440 S1: hear your voice. And I say this often, but I 30 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,320 S1: really believe it today. Your story might be the very 31 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,320 S1: thing somebody else needs to hear at their low moment 32 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,970 S1: and their low moment. Right? Might be right now. So 33 00:01:58,970 --> 00:02:01,850 S1: write the number down. Call us. Let's use this hour 34 00:02:01,850 --> 00:02:09,850 S1: to thank God for the good gifts that he has given.

Thank you this month, Chris fabry.org. 46 00:02:46,410 --> 00:02:48,010 S1: And I want to start today with the voice of 47 00:02:48,010 --> 00:02:50,169 S1: a man who more than 40 years ago had to 48 00:02:50,169 --> 00:02:54,010 S1: share an office with me. Doug Hastings actually hired me 49 00:02:54,330 --> 00:02:58,139 S1: for my first position at Moody Radio. So blame Doug, folks. 50 00:02:58,139 --> 00:03:02,540 S1: He retired a few years ago as vice president of broadcasting. 51 00:03:02,540 --> 00:03:05,139 S1: So you went from an office with me to VP. 52 00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:06,980 S1: Doug Hastings. How you doing? 53 00:03:06,980 --> 00:03:09,940 S2: I'm doing great, Chris, thank you so much for, uh, 54 00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:13,260 S2: for inviting me. And, uh, yeah, I remember way back those, 55 00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:16,060 S2: those days when we were sharing an office and had 56 00:03:16,060 --> 00:03:18,820 S2: desks back to back and we'd get in each other's 57 00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:19,660 S2: way all the time. 58 00:03:19,660 --> 00:03:22,740 S1: It was a good size office, though. Yeah, it was 59 00:03:22,940 --> 00:03:25,980 S1: a really good view out the window of LaSalle Street. Yeah. Okay. 60 00:03:26,220 --> 00:03:29,460 S1: I think there is something about this intersection between the 61 00:03:29,460 --> 00:03:32,460 S1: pain we go through the valleys, the desert and Moody 62 00:03:32,460 --> 00:03:35,100 S1: Radio's presence. Do you resonate with that? 63 00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:38,260 S2: I absolutely resonate with that. You know, for for many, 64 00:03:38,260 --> 00:03:42,700 S2: many years, you we would hear stories, we would hear very, uh, 65 00:03:43,540 --> 00:03:46,940 S2: heart wrenching stories of people going through struggles and they 66 00:03:46,940 --> 00:03:50,820 S2: would say, you know, at that very moment, that word 67 00:03:50,820 --> 00:03:55,220 S2: came to me from some pastor or some radio speaker 68 00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:59,740 S2: who maybe had recorded that program. Who knows, you know, 69 00:03:59,780 --> 00:04:03,740 S2: weeks before and and it played on that particular day, 70 00:04:03,740 --> 00:04:08,140 S2: at that particular moment when that person needed to hear that, 71 00:04:08,140 --> 00:04:11,660 S2: that word to them. And when you ask me that 72 00:04:11,660 --> 00:04:13,780 S2: just before the program and you said, this is where 73 00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:15,980 S2: we're going to start, and I, and I thought, and 74 00:04:15,980 --> 00:04:18,900 S2: I go, you know, one that pops into my mind 75 00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:22,660 S2: for me personally, uh, was, uh, when we were doing 76 00:04:22,660 --> 00:04:26,820 S2: the Friday sings and I was producing, uh, the, the 77 00:04:26,860 --> 00:04:30,060 S2: live show of the Friday sing from the front row. And, uh, 78 00:04:30,060 --> 00:04:32,180 S2: Angie Thomas was on one side of me. She was 79 00:04:32,180 --> 00:04:36,060 S2: in the music library department and Anita Luster was on 80 00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:38,779 S2: the other side. She was the one who basically booked 81 00:04:38,779 --> 00:04:42,539 S2: all the artists and made all those arrangements. Don Moen 82 00:04:42,540 --> 00:04:47,260 S2: was the guest, a musical guest. And, uh, it had 83 00:04:47,260 --> 00:04:50,300 S2: just been, I don't know, several weeks before that my, 84 00:04:50,339 --> 00:04:53,740 S2: my dad had passed away. And, uh, I was, I 85 00:04:53,740 --> 00:04:56,630 S2: was sitting on the front row and, and he was 86 00:04:56,630 --> 00:04:59,990 S2: singing the song that said, thank you, Lord. And it 87 00:04:59,990 --> 00:05:04,270 S2: just hit me. You know, it still does a little bit. Yes. Yes. 88 00:05:04,510 --> 00:05:08,790 S2: And right there, you know, that happens to people every 89 00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:13,230 S2: day where, you know, they, they are, they are ministered 90 00:05:13,230 --> 00:05:19,469 S2: to by a particular word or song, uh, that meets 91 00:05:19,470 --> 00:05:21,710 S2: them right where they are. Those are God divine moments. 92 00:05:21,710 --> 00:05:24,630 S2: Those are, those are divine appointments that we can't orchestrate 93 00:05:24,630 --> 00:05:27,710 S2: at all. And we're privileged to be a part of it. 94 00:05:27,710 --> 00:05:30,190 S1: And do you do you hear the emotion there that, 95 00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:32,909 S1: you know, that was a long time ago. That's been 96 00:05:32,910 --> 00:05:35,830 S1: 35 or how many years? Right? 97 00:05:36,190 --> 00:05:37,150 S2: 25 years ago. 98 00:05:37,190 --> 00:05:40,750 S1: 25. So and it's and it takes you right back there. 99 00:05:40,750 --> 00:05:45,670 S1: And that shows you the power of, of moody radio and, 100 00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:48,589 S1: and the songs I can, I can still remember doctor 101 00:05:48,589 --> 00:05:51,190 S1: Bill Marty sitting next to me and we were in 102 00:05:51,230 --> 00:05:55,310 S1: Torrey Gray Auditorium and there was a singer who was there, 103 00:05:56,830 --> 00:05:59,350 S1: who was telling his backstory, and he said that he 104 00:05:59,350 --> 00:06:01,750 S1: grew up in an alcoholic home. ET cetera. ET cetera. 105 00:06:01,990 --> 00:06:05,390 S1: And Doctor Marty turned to me and said, that's my story, too. Wow. 106 00:06:05,470 --> 00:06:09,989 S1: That's my story, too. Yeah. The power of telling a story. Kevin. Phil, 107 00:06:09,990 --> 00:06:12,150 S1: jump in here. Do you think we're on to something 108 00:06:12,190 --> 00:06:15,029 S1: on those? This intersection of pain and the valley. Phil? 109 00:06:15,029 --> 00:06:15,630 S1: You first. 110 00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:19,270 S3: Well, I think of the word relate. When people in 111 00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:22,430 S3: the in the quote the audience, our listeners, when they 112 00:06:22,430 --> 00:06:25,190 S3: can hear something that they're going through, or they can 113 00:06:25,190 --> 00:06:30,109 S3: hear a persona and they say, I relate to them. 114 00:06:30,190 --> 00:06:34,270 S3: And then when that person tells their story, they open up. Uh, 115 00:06:34,270 --> 00:06:38,470 S3: I tell you, we've talked often about Mike Kellogg and the, the, 116 00:06:38,630 --> 00:06:42,830 S3: the effective ministry he had overnight. Mike just was this 117 00:06:42,830 --> 00:06:48,070 S3: approachable guy that you felt comfortable and just letting go 118 00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:52,390 S3: and talking. And I saw Mike in many venues over 119 00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:56,110 S3: the years and share a thons, its affiliated stations. And 120 00:06:56,110 --> 00:06:59,750 S3: the people just they just came to him because of 121 00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:03,549 S3: their deep hurts. And he was that companion. So, uh, 122 00:07:03,550 --> 00:07:07,030 S3: Christian radio helps us to relate to people and to 123 00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:09,349 S3: relate back and to have that companion. 124 00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:12,070 S1: For 100 years. Kevin, what do you say to that? 125 00:07:12,110 --> 00:07:14,550 S4: Phil was using relate, and I would pop in and 126 00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:16,830 S4: say the word that jumped into my head right away 127 00:07:16,830 --> 00:07:22,110 S4: was encouragement. Christian radio can be such an encouragement to people. I'm. 128 00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:24,950 S4: I'm thinking especially of my mom. When I was growing up, 129 00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:28,989 S4: she would have the radio on, listening at noontime to. 130 00:07:29,150 --> 00:07:31,390 S4: At the time, somebody. I didn't know who. It was 131 00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:34,390 S4: a program I wasn't familiar with kind of forgot about 132 00:07:34,390 --> 00:07:36,790 S4: it for a long time until I was researching this book, 133 00:07:36,830 --> 00:07:39,590 S4: and I heard a clip and I heard a name 134 00:07:39,590 --> 00:07:42,550 S4: and I thought, that's the program mom listened to. And 135 00:07:42,550 --> 00:07:44,870 S4: I was a kid. It was it was Ruth Dinwoodey 136 00:07:44,870 --> 00:07:46,030 S4: and Sugar and Spice. 137 00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:46,750 S2: Oh, yes. 138 00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:51,270 S4: And it reminded me how that daily encouragement from God's 139 00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:54,320 S4: Word can be so special and precious to people, something 140 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,760 S4: they look forward to every day. Something that they really 141 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,200 S4: take with them as as part of their spiritual life. Yeah. 142 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,800 S1: My mother was a listener to Moody and got me 143 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,080 S1: listening back in 1985. I had just lost my husband 144 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,800 S1: and was so broken. There it is again. I would 145 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,520 S1: come home from working the second shift and listen to 146 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,360 S1: Mike Kellogg. He was such a comfort through those dark 147 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,440 S1: days with Haven of Rest and Doctor Charles Stanley and 148 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,040 S1: Chuck Swindoll on Sunday Praise. I was so encouraged in 149 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,160 S1: my walk with the Lord. Now I love your program, 150 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,840 S1: Chris and Open Line and JD Greer.

The man of perpetual youth. 175 00:10:06,650 --> 00:10:08,770 S1: He and his wife, Cindy, looked no different than when 176 00:10:08,770 --> 00:10:11,650 S1: they moved a few blocks away from our family back 177 00:10:11,650 --> 00:10:15,410 S1: in the late 80s. He was station manager of WMBI 178 00:10:15,450 --> 00:10:18,290 S1: during the infamous days of mornings with Greg and Chris. 179 00:10:18,450 --> 00:10:23,130 S1: So he deserves the battle pay. Bruce Everhart. Bruce sign in. 180 00:10:23,130 --> 00:10:23,930 S1: What do you say? 181 00:10:24,450 --> 00:10:28,370 S5: Chris Fabry? You know, I if there was a moody 182 00:10:28,410 --> 00:10:31,610 S5: Radio Hall of Fame, I would vote for you. And 183 00:10:31,690 --> 00:10:34,210 S5: whether it's a yellow jacket or a green jacket, Chris 184 00:10:34,250 --> 00:10:37,610 S5: Fabry deserves an award. Given all the years that you've 185 00:10:37,610 --> 00:10:39,770 S5: been here. And I survived a few of those years 186 00:10:39,770 --> 00:10:42,570 S5: with Chris Fabry behind the microphone as our morning show 187 00:10:42,570 --> 00:10:46,690 S5: announcer at WMBI, I can say I survived as station manager. 188 00:10:47,610 --> 00:10:50,620 S1: You had a lot of pink slips because Jim Wick 189 00:10:50,620 --> 00:10:53,500 S1: was here last week and or a week before that, 190 00:10:53,540 --> 00:10:56,020 S1: telling us about the pink slips that he would get 191 00:10:56,020 --> 00:10:58,740 S1: after Bob Murfin got off the air. And I kept 192 00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:00,260 S1: that ball rolling, didn't I? 193 00:11:00,860 --> 00:11:04,820 S5: Well, you know, Chris, for whatever reason you went, you 194 00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:08,220 S5: went away from network radio and you went to local 195 00:11:08,220 --> 00:11:12,340 S5: radio where things were a little bit less produced. And 196 00:11:12,580 --> 00:11:16,860 S5: it was a lot of fun and creativity. Uh, Chris's 197 00:11:16,860 --> 00:11:20,420 S5: creativity bubbles up, you know, every single day on Chris 198 00:11:20,460 --> 00:11:23,459 S5: Fabry live. But man, the morning show. Have you ever 199 00:11:23,460 --> 00:11:26,820 S5: heard the morning show zoo? Well, the zoo. The zoo 200 00:11:26,860 --> 00:11:30,819 S5: was very close to WMBI and I had I had 201 00:11:30,820 --> 00:11:34,459 S5: the privilege of managing these two guys, Chris and Greg Wheatley, 202 00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:40,660 S5: and they were constantly dreaming up harebrained ideas. Many, many 203 00:11:40,660 --> 00:11:43,780 S5: of them probably never would have survived a management meeting 204 00:11:43,780 --> 00:11:46,300 S5: which and seen the light of day. But they never 205 00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:49,780 S5: asked me So. And that's why they were so much 206 00:11:49,780 --> 00:11:53,380 S5: fun because they didn't ask for permission. So that was. 207 00:11:53,420 --> 00:11:55,820 S1: All we were trying. Bruce. All we were trying to 208 00:11:55,820 --> 00:11:58,260 S1: do is keep each other awake. And my, my main 209 00:11:58,260 --> 00:12:01,100 S1: goal was to get Greg to laugh every day. And so, 210 00:12:01,140 --> 00:12:03,580 S1: you know, on those days, we had to we had 211 00:12:03,580 --> 00:12:06,820 S1: to push the envelope. But you are here because of 212 00:12:06,820 --> 00:12:11,740 S1: 100 years. The Moody radio is here because there there 213 00:12:11,740 --> 00:12:14,860 S1: have been people, flawed people. And you know this as 214 00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:18,420 S1: well as I do. Flawed people, sinners just like everybody 215 00:12:18,420 --> 00:12:22,820 S1: else whom God has used to reach into the hearts 216 00:12:22,820 --> 00:12:25,540 S1: and lives of people down through the decades. Right? 217 00:12:25,580 --> 00:12:29,420 S5: Yeah. Yeah. Well, it becomes pretty serious business when you 218 00:12:29,420 --> 00:12:33,180 S5: think about what we're up to. There's a cornerstone out 219 00:12:33,179 --> 00:12:36,500 S5: at the Addison transmitter site, the cornerstone in the transmitter 220 00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:40,660 S5: building that was etched. Um, we actually had it, you know, 221 00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:44,980 S5: removed from the building and brought to Chicago the downtown studios. 222 00:12:45,420 --> 00:12:47,660 S5: And it was supposed to be a time vault inside 223 00:12:47,660 --> 00:12:51,100 S5: this cornerstone and on the outside of it, Chris, it 224 00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:55,060 S5: was WMB dedicated solely to the service of our Lord 225 00:12:55,059 --> 00:13:00,060 S5: Jesus Christ. And then on the other side was Isaiah 5511, 226 00:13:01,140 --> 00:13:04,020 S5: which which is basically the word of God, will not 227 00:13:04,020 --> 00:13:10,020 S5: return void. Right. And that's when the funny stuff sort 228 00:13:10,059 --> 00:13:13,260 S5: of starts to get serious, when you realize that's what 229 00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:17,140 S5: we're all about proclaiming the gospel, proclaiming the word of God. 230 00:13:17,620 --> 00:13:19,900 S5: And we're trying to do it in a, in a 231 00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:25,340 S5: relevant and remarkable way that, you know, is fitting with 232 00:13:25,340 --> 00:13:28,180 S5: what the world is going through at this time, Bible 233 00:13:28,179 --> 00:13:31,579 S5: in one hand, newspaper in the other. That's what Moody 234 00:13:31,580 --> 00:13:34,020 S5: Radio has been all about. And while we have a 235 00:13:34,020 --> 00:13:36,700 S5: lot of fun, it's pretty serious business. We're in the 236 00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:37,260 S5: middle of. 237 00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:41,420 S1: Yeah. And a lot of times that's what I see 238 00:13:41,460 --> 00:13:46,990 S1: brings people's defenses down the, you know, the the laughter, 239 00:13:47,030 --> 00:13:51,430 S1: the not just telling jokes, but being able to be real, 240 00:13:51,429 --> 00:13:55,189 S1: to be able to be human and authentic. That's what 241 00:13:55,190 --> 00:13:57,750 S1: I think about with Bob Murfin when he was doing 242 00:13:57,750 --> 00:14:00,830 S1: his program. It's like, you like Bob or you didn't 243 00:14:00,830 --> 00:14:03,430 S1: like Bob, but you never knew that whether Bob was 244 00:14:03,429 --> 00:14:06,670 S1: being real or not, he was himself. And you come 245 00:14:06,670 --> 00:14:11,550 S1: from the farm in Kansas, and you transplant yourself in 246 00:14:11,550 --> 00:14:14,270 S1: Chicago and do this work. And a lot of that, 247 00:14:14,309 --> 00:14:17,510 S1: you know, the people of the earth coming behind the 248 00:14:17,510 --> 00:14:21,310 S1: microphone and leading. I think that's part of what made 249 00:14:21,310 --> 00:14:23,390 S1: Moody Radio really thrive. 250 00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:26,670 S5: Yeah. Well, in the late 80s, yeah, I moved from 251 00:14:26,670 --> 00:14:29,990 S5: the farm to the big city, and I graduated University 252 00:14:29,990 --> 00:14:33,030 S5: of Kansas with a broadcast news degree, started to get 253 00:14:33,030 --> 00:14:36,910 S5: an itch for radio, working at a Moody affiliate in Topeka, Kansas, 254 00:14:37,190 --> 00:14:40,030 S5: wanted to get a year of Bible in Chicago, came 255 00:14:40,030 --> 00:14:43,390 S5: to Moody, got a job at WMBI, and I never left. 256 00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:46,790 S5: But the thing of it is I met Bob, Murfin 257 00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:50,870 S5: and Bob. I'll never forget. My dad died. My dad 258 00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:54,110 S5: died of a of a of a farm accident. A 259 00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:57,990 S5: tractor turned over and he died. He died April 15th, 1995. 260 00:14:58,750 --> 00:15:02,030 S5: And Bob used to do that. Talk about the power 261 00:15:02,030 --> 00:15:06,750 S5: of radio. On that day, Bob Murfin found out about 262 00:15:06,750 --> 00:15:10,430 S5: my father's tragedy. And as you know it, he used 263 00:15:10,430 --> 00:15:12,950 S5: to do this thing called the Cup of Cold Water, 264 00:15:13,790 --> 00:15:17,550 S5: where he would encourage listeners all around Chicago. And there 265 00:15:17,550 --> 00:15:21,030 S5: were thousands, ten thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of them, 266 00:15:21,030 --> 00:15:26,190 S5: listening to Bob every morning. And he would rush the mailbox. 267 00:15:26,190 --> 00:15:28,630 S5: He would say to all of his listeners, we need 268 00:15:28,630 --> 00:15:31,150 S5: to bless somebody today because they're going through a hard time. 269 00:15:31,150 --> 00:15:33,350 S5: He would do it from for countless people. He did 270 00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:36,670 S5: it for me that day. And I still matter of fact, 271 00:15:36,670 --> 00:15:40,390 S5: I was just looking through that bushel box full of 272 00:15:40,390 --> 00:15:44,960 S5: letters that came in encouraging me after my dad died 273 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,080 S5: of that tragedy in in 1995. And I'll never forget 274 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:54,080 S5: the power of radio to encourage individuals, you know, a 275 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,800 S5: common person like myself, just a farm boy from Kansas. 276 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,280 S5: And Bob took my story up and encouraged others to 277 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,440 S5: encourage me that day. It's still, still blows me away. 278 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,320 S6: That's it, that's it. 279 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,640 S1: That's the intersection of the pain and the struggle and 280 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,280 S1: where Moody radio in, in a lot of different ways 281 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,400 S1: can seep in there. And that's the other thing. Doug 282 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,480 S1: Hastings is here. Doug, one of the things that Bruce 283 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,640 S1: talked about was that Moody Radio management allowed people to 284 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,160 S1: be who they were, rather than trying to fit them 285 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,520 S1: into some mold. You got to be this. You didn't 286 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,240 S1: try to change our personalities. Let us be as much 287 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,160 S1: as we could. Let us be who we were. Right? 288 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,920 S2: Absolutely. Uh, we needed to be real. Uh, you know, 289 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,640 S2: there are a lot of people are out on the 290 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,400 S2: radio who have this persona and, you know, you hear 291 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,840 S2: them on the air and they're, you know, they're they're 292 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,760 S2: doing their shtick. And, and that's what that's what they do. Um, 293 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,400 S2: but then you meet them off the air and they're 294 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,800 S2: a totally different person. But I believe in my experience, 295 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,080 S2: the people who you hear on the radio, on Moody radio, 296 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,080 S2: when you meet them in person, they're that same person. Yeah. 297 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,120 S2: You know, when you hear Chris Fabry on the air 298 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,720 S2: and when you meet him in person, it's the same 299 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,120 S2: person and you're you're genuine on the air. And I 300 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,160 S2: think when people are real, listeners can relate so much 301 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,800 S2: more to somebody who's real and not putting on something 302 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,840 S2: that they're really not. And, uh, and playing an actor that, um, 303 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,360 S2: that doesn't fit them. And, and so that's, I think 304 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,600 S2: that's the power of, uh, who is on the air 305 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,480 S2: today and who's been on the air in the past 306 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,169 S2: is that they were able to be themselves and be real. 307 00:17:42,130 --> 00:17:45,210 S1: Before we had the internet and our pictures were everywhere 308 00:17:45,210 --> 00:17:47,730 S1: and you could see what the hosts looked like. If 309 00:17:47,730 --> 00:17:50,010 S1: they asked me to come and speak someplace, the first 310 00:17:50,010 --> 00:17:52,850 S1: thing I would say was, uh, you don't look a 311 00:17:52,850 --> 00:17:55,530 S1: thing like I thought you would either, because that's what 312 00:17:55,530 --> 00:17:57,890 S1: I got every time. You don't look anything like I 313 00:17:57,890 --> 00:18:03,090 S1: thought you would. Which takes us to Larry in Temple Terrace, Florida. Hey, Larry. 314 00:18:03,130 --> 00:18:03,930 S1: Go right ahead. 315 00:18:04,850 --> 00:18:07,889 S7: Well, I had two great Kansas grandfathers, if that counted 316 00:18:07,890 --> 00:18:10,610 S7: for anything but what he just said about the power 317 00:18:10,609 --> 00:18:13,369 S7: of connection. I'm thinking of three persons and see if 318 00:18:13,369 --> 00:18:16,210 S7: they don't connect in your mind, Chris. And that is 319 00:18:16,210 --> 00:18:21,490 S7: going back to 1969. Bill Pierce night sounds that beautiful, deep, 320 00:18:21,490 --> 00:18:25,010 S7: resonant voice. And it carried on to night watch in 321 00:18:25,010 --> 00:18:28,050 S7: such an instrumental part, as you said in my message, 322 00:18:28,290 --> 00:18:31,450 S7: f uh, product of moody and an instrumental part. And 323 00:18:31,450 --> 00:18:36,050 S7: then you go to Mike Kellogg voices in the night that, uh, connected. 324 00:18:36,050 --> 00:18:38,330 S7: We're all in bed listening to him. I'm holding my 325 00:18:38,330 --> 00:18:41,820 S7: wife's hand. Married 58 years as we talked. And then 326 00:18:41,820 --> 00:18:45,020 S7: Don Cole, you know, he had such a connection and 327 00:18:45,020 --> 00:18:49,940 S7: and such a pleasant way. These people had a super encouragement, connection. 328 00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:52,420 S7: And that's my main point without going into a lot 329 00:18:52,420 --> 00:18:55,619 S7: of detail. And I think you'll have to agree. Thank 330 00:18:55,619 --> 00:18:58,980 S7: you for letting me speak on the hundredth anniversary day. 331 00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:04,020 S1: You did it, Larry. Okay. This is the perfect entree. Uh, Ryan, 332 00:19:04,020 --> 00:19:05,700 S1: play clip number 13. 333 00:19:06,020 --> 00:19:08,659 S8: It's such a beautiful experience to me to sit here 334 00:19:08,660 --> 00:19:15,100 S8: in a softly lighted, small, intimate studio and produce a 335 00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:20,060 S8: program called Night Watch. I've been doing it for about 336 00:19:20,060 --> 00:19:28,020 S8: 12 years now. This way. And each time it it's 337 00:19:28,020 --> 00:19:31,260 S8: just as fresh. And this theme music, which I've heard 338 00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:36,620 S8: thousands of times, still has deep meaning because it introduces 339 00:19:36,619 --> 00:19:41,220 S8: us to this time of closeness. I'm very glad you're there. 340 00:19:42,380 --> 00:19:44,220 S8: I hope you'll stay with me for the entire half 341 00:19:44,220 --> 00:19:50,460 S8: hour tonight. Because I think we have something especially for 342 00:19:50,460 --> 00:19:54,300 S8: you that you'll enjoy in the way of music, music 343 00:19:54,940 --> 00:19:56,100 S8: and the spoken word. 344 00:19:57,140 --> 00:20:00,020 S1: Okay, so that is the voice of Bill Pierce from 345 00:20:00,020 --> 00:20:05,139 S1: the 70s. Let's fast forward to 1982. 346 00:20:16,180 --> 00:20:22,020 S9: Hello and welcome to Music Through the Night. I'm your host, 347 00:20:22,020 --> 00:20:26,100 S9: Michael Kellogg. I'd like to spend the next few hours 348 00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:32,820 S9: with you or any portion of that time. Basically, what 349 00:20:32,820 --> 00:20:35,260 S9: we'd like to do during the time together that we 350 00:20:35,260 --> 00:20:40,670 S9: have is magnify the Lord Jesus Christ to glorify him 351 00:20:40,670 --> 00:20:44,910 S9: in all that we say, in the music that we play. 352 00:20:46,990 --> 00:20:50,830 S9: In the thoughts that we hear from God's Word and 353 00:20:50,830 --> 00:20:56,030 S9: from men of God. We hope that you can spend 354 00:20:56,030 --> 00:20:58,350 S9: a little bit of your time with us this evening. 355 00:21:00,790 --> 00:21:05,590 S9: It's amazing to know what God does through transformed lives, 356 00:21:06,470 --> 00:21:09,949 S9: and to experience the great joy that comes as a 357 00:21:09,950 --> 00:21:13,030 S9: result of knowing Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. 358 00:21:14,109 --> 00:21:18,109 S1: There's somebody who needed to hear Mike Kellogg's voice again. Phil, 359 00:21:18,109 --> 00:21:20,190 S1: when you hear that voice, tell me what happens and 360 00:21:20,230 --> 00:21:21,550 S1: resonates in your soul. 361 00:21:21,550 --> 00:21:24,510 S3: Oh, I just think of a friend and in fact, 362 00:21:24,510 --> 00:21:30,470 S3: Bill Pierce as well. Uh, a deep friend. You know, Mike, Bill, 363 00:21:30,510 --> 00:21:34,550 S3: Don Cole. I know each of them had struggles. In fact, 364 00:21:34,550 --> 00:21:38,270 S3: they had some very, very difficult times in their life, 365 00:21:38,270 --> 00:21:42,189 S3: but they kept ministering to people because they had to 366 00:21:42,230 --> 00:21:46,270 S3: dig in deep themselves. They had learned. They had learned 367 00:21:46,270 --> 00:21:49,150 S3: the secret that in the midst of the trouble are 368 00:21:49,190 --> 00:21:52,510 S3: as what the scriptures say, you know, going through the waters, 369 00:21:52,550 --> 00:21:57,550 S3: going through the fire. The promise in Isaiah 432 is 370 00:21:57,550 --> 00:22:01,710 S3: that I, your God, am with you. In those times, 371 00:22:01,950 --> 00:22:05,430 S3: these guys knew that from experience. And what they said 372 00:22:05,470 --> 00:22:09,150 S3: on the air came from living it out themselves. 373 00:22:09,270 --> 00:22:12,750 S1: Yes. This is what you mentioned, Don Cole and Larry 374 00:22:12,750 --> 00:22:16,270 S1: did too. This is one of my favorite clips of 375 00:22:16,270 --> 00:22:20,990 S1: Pastor Cole, and it shows both the whimsical side as 376 00:22:20,990 --> 00:22:26,429 S1: well as the deep, resonant theological side and the comfort 377 00:22:26,430 --> 00:22:27,670 S1: of his voice. 378 00:22:28,030 --> 00:22:32,830 S10: I have been blind since birth, and they say that 379 00:22:32,830 --> 00:22:37,080 S10: the reason that I don't have my sight. It's because 380 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,480 S10: I'm refusing to receive healing that I refuse. It's my fault. 381 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:44,600 S3: Do you have a cane? 382 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,760 S10: Yes, I do. 383 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,200 S11: Next time they tell you that, hit him with a cane. 384 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,159 S11: And then if it's smarts, you tell them. If they 385 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,919 S11: had a little more faith, it wouldn't hurt so much. 386 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,280 S11: That'll take care of that. 387 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,840 S10: Well, I guess they think because I can't see physically 388 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,440 S10: that maybe. You know, I'm not saying spiritually either. 389 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,160 S11: You know, how can people say such things? Get that 390 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,160 S11: cane out and have it handy. You must do that. 391 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:09,240 S10: Okay. 392 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,200 S11: You hear it right there. 393 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,919 S1: Doug, you work with Pastor Cole for a long time. 394 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,000 S1: That's who he was. 395 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,120 S2: That's exactly who he was. That's exactly who he was. 396 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,720 S2: He he he he just had a way of connecting 397 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:29,119 S2: with each person who called and and wanted wisdom from him, 398 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,280 S2: especially as it related to passages of Scripture when he 399 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,760 S2: was doing Bible Q&A on open line. Um and, and 400 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,960 S2: yet he was so genuine. And as a radio pastor, 401 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,560 S2: he was on the air quite a bit, but his 402 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:49,520 S2: primary responsibility was to pastor the staff of Moody Radio. Yes. And, 403 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,040 S2: and he did that extremely well. I went to him 404 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,080 S2: many times and would have a question, as I was 405 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,800 S2: a young, newly married person or, or a young father 406 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,680 S2: who was trying to figure out how to do this 407 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,480 S2: fatherhood thing. And, and I would go to Pastor Cole 408 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,000 S2: and he would always have great wisdom. He and just, 409 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,600 S2: you know, very whimsical, you know, whimsical, just winsome is 410 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:18,359 S2: what I mean is that he he just, uh. Imparted 411 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,720 S2: his vast, deep well of wisdom to you in a 412 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,760 S2: way that made you feel like, wow, I could really 413 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,679 S2: benefit from taking that to heart. 414 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,640 S1: I remember the devotions when Pastor Cole gave a devotional 415 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,560 S1: after the death of his grandson. And just this this 416 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,000 S1: gut wrenching moment where he talks about, you know, what 417 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,000 S1: happened and the the hope we have in Christ. And 418 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,080 S1: I also remember the devotion. I think you'll remember this, Doug, 419 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,960 S1: when one of the staff was leaving, they were going 420 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:56,920 S1: to another job. And the man's voice broke a really 421 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,800 S1: deep voice and his voice broke. And he looked at 422 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:04,359 S1: Pastor Cole and through tears he said, you saved my life. 423 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,040 S2: MM. 424 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,760 S1: He was at a really, really low point, and Pastor 425 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,560 S1: Cole was there for him. You saved my life. And 426 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,840 S1: I think Don Cole would say if he were here, 427 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,520 S1: Don Cole would say, it wasn't me that was doing that. 428 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,960 S1: There was something that was going on bigger that my 429 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,840 S1: friend who said I saved his life, that that God 430 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,400 S1: was doing something through me. Has that happened to you? 431 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,080 S1: I see some other folks on the line. I'm going 432 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:37,330 S1: to go to your calls at (877) 548-3675. Has God met 433 00:25:37,330 --> 00:25:41,010 S1: you at some low point at some valley through the 434 00:25:41,010 --> 00:25:45,450 S1: Ministry of Moody Radio? Today is 100 years. We're celebrating. 435 00:25:45,450 --> 00:25:53,649 S1: And here's the number (877) 548-3675. More straight ahead on Moody Radio. 436 00:26:05,369 --> 00:26:08,930 S1: Bill says I'm 92. I've listened and been blessed by 437 00:26:08,930 --> 00:26:12,530 S1: many programs through the decades of my life, from childhood 438 00:26:12,570 --> 00:26:17,570 S1: on to being a great grandpa. Moody radio through Moody 439 00:26:17,570 --> 00:26:21,210 S1: Chicago has played an important part in sustaining my foundation 440 00:26:21,210 --> 00:26:25,050 S1: of belief in Jesus as my Savior all these decades. 441 00:26:25,090 --> 00:26:29,250 S1: I'm thankful. Grateful that in my remaining years of life, 442 00:26:29,650 --> 00:26:33,050 S1: I can rely on your broadcast for my spiritual edification. 443 00:26:33,250 --> 00:26:35,889 S1: Thank you for this book and keep doing what you've 444 00:26:35,890 --> 00:26:37,889 S1: been doing for all of us who get to listen. 445 00:26:38,290 --> 00:26:42,369 S1: That's from Bill. How about you? Do you agree with this, 446 00:26:42,609 --> 00:26:45,570 S1: of this postulate, this idea that I have, that it's 447 00:26:45,730 --> 00:26:48,889 S1: at the intersection of the the low points of life. 448 00:26:48,890 --> 00:26:53,650 S1: Many times that Moody radio comes along. I've got Doug 449 00:26:53,650 --> 00:26:57,530 S1: Hastings here, Kevin Mungas, Phil Shepherd, and Lucia is on 450 00:26:57,530 --> 00:27:00,170 S1: the line from Tennessee. Hi, Lucia. Go right ahead. 451 00:27:00,730 --> 00:27:04,090 S12: Hi, Chris. Thank you for taking my call. So, yes, 452 00:27:04,090 --> 00:27:06,530 S12: I've been listening to Moody Radio since I moved down 453 00:27:06,530 --> 00:27:09,770 S12: here from New York to Tennessee, probably since 2006. And 454 00:27:09,770 --> 00:27:12,090 S12: Don Ray was on, and then she left a little 455 00:27:12,090 --> 00:27:15,530 S12: bit and then she came back. Um, but in 2008, 456 00:27:15,570 --> 00:27:18,530 S12: you had a situation that you had spoken about on 457 00:27:18,570 --> 00:27:21,250 S12: the on the radio. And then I myself had that 458 00:27:21,250 --> 00:27:24,610 S12: same situation happen in 2013. So I had been listening 459 00:27:24,609 --> 00:27:27,450 S12: all those years and it was that toxic mold exposure. 460 00:27:27,450 --> 00:27:30,659 S12: And you and your wife were extremely impactful in helping 461 00:27:30,660 --> 00:27:32,700 S12: me and my family of five and two dogs to 462 00:27:32,740 --> 00:27:37,860 S12: survive that amazingly. And so those low days, there's been 463 00:27:37,859 --> 00:27:40,260 S12: many low, you know, years of that. But in those 464 00:27:40,260 --> 00:27:42,740 S12: beginning days, I just remember listening to radio three and 465 00:27:42,740 --> 00:27:44,340 S12: four in the morning when you can't sleep and you're 466 00:27:44,340 --> 00:27:47,379 S12: dealing with the toxicity and all the different programs that 467 00:27:47,380 --> 00:27:50,260 S12: were on. But I have been a radio listener all 468 00:27:50,260 --> 00:27:53,620 S12: of my life, but completely enjoy moody radio. There's always 469 00:27:53,619 --> 00:27:55,900 S12: a nugget. There's always something that you listen to, whether 470 00:27:55,900 --> 00:27:58,139 S12: it's a 1 or 2 minute or, you know, Tony 471 00:27:58,140 --> 00:28:01,379 S12: Evans or Chuck Swindoll or any any of the great 472 00:28:01,380 --> 00:28:04,060 S12: preachers that you guys have on, as well as the 473 00:28:04,060 --> 00:28:06,620 S12: live shows. And your show, of course, at one time 474 00:28:06,619 --> 00:28:09,859 S12: was two hours. Now it's one hour. But just, just 475 00:28:09,859 --> 00:28:13,540 S12: moody radio has definitely intersected my life over and over again. 476 00:28:13,540 --> 00:28:15,899 S12: And my daughter listens and my husband listens and, and 477 00:28:15,900 --> 00:28:17,419 S12: when my boys are around. So I just want to 478 00:28:17,420 --> 00:28:19,540 S12: thank you guys because I know you work very hard 479 00:28:19,619 --> 00:28:21,900 S12: to do what you do, but you really do. And 480 00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:24,659 S12: I tell everybody about Moody II, everybody that you know 481 00:28:24,700 --> 00:28:27,659 S12: is either new here or doesn't know about Moody Radio. 482 00:28:27,660 --> 00:28:29,340 S12: And like I said, we didn't have it in New York. 483 00:28:29,340 --> 00:28:32,660 S12: So I got acquainted living here in Tennessee. But honestly, 484 00:28:32,859 --> 00:28:36,300 S12: you really do speak into people's lives. And there are 485 00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:38,860 S12: many times, you know, you might be having even an 486 00:28:38,860 --> 00:28:42,260 S12: okay day or not, but sometimes something happens in that 487 00:28:42,260 --> 00:28:45,860 S12: day and you just hear that that word always. Sometimes, 488 00:28:45,860 --> 00:28:48,460 S12: like even that song or that live radio or Janet partial. 489 00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:50,060 S12: And you just learn so much from you guys. So 490 00:28:50,060 --> 00:28:52,020 S12: just thank you for what you do. And I'm so 491 00:28:52,020 --> 00:28:54,460 S12: grateful that the Lord had me call because I was 492 00:28:54,460 --> 00:28:56,620 S12: just sitting down to do some paperwork, and he had 493 00:28:56,620 --> 00:28:58,820 S12: me call in that moment that I could tell you 494 00:28:58,820 --> 00:29:02,580 S12: guys this on the hundredth anniversary birthday of Moody Radio. 495 00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:03,780 S13: So glad you did. 496 00:29:04,740 --> 00:29:07,300 S1: I'm so glad. And that intersection, you know, when we 497 00:29:07,340 --> 00:29:09,820 S1: we did the same thing that you did. And that 498 00:29:09,820 --> 00:29:12,900 S1: is we tried to find somebody who'd been there. And 499 00:29:12,900 --> 00:29:16,820 S1: when you find someone who's walked that road, walked that trail, 500 00:29:17,220 --> 00:29:19,620 S1: it gives you hope to take the next step and 501 00:29:19,620 --> 00:29:22,580 S1: the next step. So thank you for mentioning that. As 502 00:29:22,580 --> 00:29:24,180 S1: a matter of fact, Doug, I go all the way 503 00:29:24,180 --> 00:29:27,590 S1: back to to 2008. It was 2007 that you you've 504 00:29:27,630 --> 00:29:30,430 S1: made a phone call to me and you were reminding 505 00:29:30,430 --> 00:29:32,510 S1: me of this in the break. Tell me more about that. 506 00:29:33,350 --> 00:29:35,750 S2: Well, we were making we were we were making some 507 00:29:35,790 --> 00:29:40,630 S2: transitional decisions on programming in the middle of the afternoon. And, uh, 508 00:29:41,270 --> 00:29:44,990 S2: several of our team got together and we're, we're just brainstorming. 509 00:29:44,990 --> 00:29:48,630 S2: We said Chris would be a great person to host 510 00:29:48,670 --> 00:29:52,110 S2: a program in the afternoon that would be, uh, like 511 00:29:52,150 --> 00:29:56,430 S2: you have positioned it a conversation over the backyard fence, 512 00:29:56,430 --> 00:29:59,990 S2: just someone who is, is very approachable, very. So I've 513 00:29:59,990 --> 00:30:03,150 S2: made a phone call to you at the time. You 514 00:30:03,190 --> 00:30:06,150 S2: weren't working with us much at all. You were, you 515 00:30:06,190 --> 00:30:11,910 S2: were writing and, uh, and very successfully writing and I thought, uh, maybe, 516 00:30:11,910 --> 00:30:13,950 S2: but it's a shot in the dark. We'll do it anyway. 517 00:30:13,950 --> 00:30:15,950 S2: And I picked up the phone and called you and 518 00:30:15,950 --> 00:30:20,830 S2: pitched you the idea and and you hesitated and you say, 519 00:30:20,870 --> 00:30:25,430 S2: I don't think that's going to work. And and, uh, 520 00:30:25,430 --> 00:30:29,590 S2: and and me. And in my tenacity, I just felt 521 00:30:29,590 --> 00:30:32,390 S2: the Lord prompting me to say, just think about it. 522 00:30:32,670 --> 00:30:34,550 S2: Think about it for a few days and then call 523 00:30:34,590 --> 00:30:37,590 S2: me back. And by God's grace, you call me back 524 00:30:37,630 --> 00:30:41,430 S2: a few days later and you said you would do it. 525 00:30:41,430 --> 00:30:45,950 S2: And it's been a phenomenal deal for these many, many years. 526 00:30:45,950 --> 00:30:47,750 S2: I'm so grateful that you said yes back then. 527 00:30:47,790 --> 00:30:49,790 S13: Do you know why I said yes, Doug? 528 00:30:49,830 --> 00:30:51,830 S1: And I told this story. You know, if you're tired 529 00:30:51,830 --> 00:30:55,870 S1: of it, tell me. Uh, I was turning left and 530 00:30:55,910 --> 00:30:59,710 S1: I lived in monument, Colorado, turning left at this stoplight. 531 00:31:00,110 --> 00:31:02,470 S1: And there was a man in a in a pickup 532 00:31:02,510 --> 00:31:05,950 S1: truck with his dog. And it was cold. It was 533 00:31:05,950 --> 00:31:08,709 S1: in the fall. And he had his window down and 534 00:31:08,710 --> 00:31:11,710 S1: he was smoking and he was listening to his radio. 535 00:31:11,710 --> 00:31:15,710 S1: And it was something country, probably. And I turned and 536 00:31:15,710 --> 00:31:17,310 S1: I looked at him, and then I looked back at 537 00:31:17,310 --> 00:31:20,950 S1: the at the stoplight. And I had just had a 538 00:31:20,950 --> 00:31:23,670 S1: friend of mine, the friend who had built the office 539 00:31:23,710 --> 00:31:26,280 S1: in our garage. The third bay of the garage became 540 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,600 S1: my new office. It was kind of this little cave 541 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,960 S1: that I had where I could go and escape all 542 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,840 S1: of the dogs and the kids and this friend that 543 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,920 S1: I had. I got a phone call from my son 544 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,320 S1: and said, dad, did you did you hear bill died? 545 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,600 S1: And I said, no. And there were things going on 546 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,760 S1: in Bill's life. And we had had, you know, spiritual conversations. 547 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,160 S1: And I knew about his church and, you know, one 548 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,000 S1: thing or another. But we had never had the the talk, 549 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,120 S1: you know, the get down to come to Jesus talk. Bill, 550 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,880 S1: what do you really believe about this or that or 551 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,240 S1: the other thing? And I turn back and I looked 552 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,200 S1: at that fellow in the truck and I just I 553 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,320 S1: didn't hear the audible voice, but I, I had the 554 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,600 S1: impression that God was saying, look, if you want to 555 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,240 S1: have some conversations with some people who need to, to 556 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,360 S1: come to me, who need me, like Bill needed me. Yeah, 557 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,440 S1: you missed your opportunity and that you had there with him. 558 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,640 S1: But what if I gave you other opportunities. And it 559 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,600 S1: was that left turn that I took that told me 560 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,000 S1: I got to call Doug back. I got to say 561 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,080 S1: yes to this. And that was in 2008. So it's 562 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,640 S1: been a few years since then. And I'm really glad. 563 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,920 S1: And isn't it interesting that it's in that intersection, though, 564 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,920 S1: of pain that you say yes to what God wants? 565 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,080 S2: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. 566 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:50,160 S13: Phil, does. 567 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,440 S1: That ring in your soul? 568 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,520 S3: Well, it does, because I can tell you that in 569 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,720 S3: the late 80s, I remember coming to Moody and working and, 570 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:04,120 S3: and had some really difficult issues. And I remember a 571 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,920 S3: song by Twila Paris. Do I trust you, Lord? Mhm. 572 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,160 S3: And I had a I had an hour or two 573 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,600 S3: hour voice track program I had to record. And I 574 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,040 S3: had to do it through the tears and the sobbing 575 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,400 S3: up in studio D, and every time I hear that 576 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,570 S3: song by Twila Paris. Not so much anymore, But when 577 00:33:23,570 --> 00:33:26,770 S3: I hear that, it ministers to me. And it's just 578 00:33:26,770 --> 00:33:29,210 S3: one song of many that have been sung on this 579 00:33:29,210 --> 00:33:34,050 S3: radio stations, these stations, for 100 years, uh, that, uh, 580 00:33:34,090 --> 00:33:36,850 S3: God has spoken to us. He speaks to us, uh, 581 00:33:36,850 --> 00:33:38,650 S3: often in our pain, doesn't he? 582 00:33:38,690 --> 00:33:41,090 S1: He does. And he shouts in their pain. 583 00:33:41,090 --> 00:33:41,610 S3: Yeah. 584 00:33:41,650 --> 00:33:43,130 S1: And are we going to the questions? Are we going 585 00:33:43,170 --> 00:33:47,130 S1: to medicate, you know, or just soothe ourselves, amuse ourselves 586 00:33:47,130 --> 00:33:50,250 S1: to death? Or are we going to lean into that? Um, 587 00:33:50,250 --> 00:33:53,050 S1: Mary is in Florida. Mary, why did you call today? 588 00:33:55,090 --> 00:34:00,610 S14: I called because, um, I've, um, I've been listening to 589 00:34:00,610 --> 00:34:03,730 S14: you night and day and helped disciple me. Besides that, 590 00:34:04,050 --> 00:34:08,370 S14: during 911 when I would watch TV and I turn 591 00:34:08,410 --> 00:34:11,570 S14: on the TV off and turn on Moody Bible on, 592 00:34:11,570 --> 00:34:14,089 S14: and we would pray. And that went on through the 593 00:34:14,090 --> 00:34:18,250 S14: whole process of the tragedy. And it was such a 594 00:34:18,250 --> 00:34:25,290 S14: big help to keep me from extreme depression and lift 595 00:34:25,330 --> 00:34:28,810 S14: my spirits because we were praying for the people and 596 00:34:28,810 --> 00:34:32,730 S14: praying for the situation. And that just is wonderful. 597 00:34:33,410 --> 00:34:34,370 S13: That's what I have. 598 00:34:34,370 --> 00:34:37,489 S1: Heard about that. And I wasn't at Moody Radio at 599 00:34:37,489 --> 00:34:41,250 S1: the time, but Doug, you know how important it was 600 00:34:41,250 --> 00:34:43,489 S1: to get on the air and to give something that 601 00:34:43,489 --> 00:34:46,330 S1: was different than they were seeing on the other networks. 602 00:34:46,489 --> 00:34:50,330 S2: Yeah. And that's the power of, of radio where you can, uh, 603 00:34:50,489 --> 00:34:55,330 S2: respond immediately. And, uh, we did, we jumped on the air. 604 00:34:55,370 --> 00:34:59,650 S2: Wayne Shepherd and others hosted, and we just basically preempted 605 00:34:59,650 --> 00:35:04,610 S2: all other programming because we knew people were, were looking 606 00:35:04,770 --> 00:35:09,050 S2: for hope. And we're, we're being shocked by the images 607 00:35:09,050 --> 00:35:13,850 S2: that they were seeing. And they needed a different storyline. Uh, 608 00:35:13,850 --> 00:35:16,890 S2: that gave them hope. And, uh, we were able to 609 00:35:16,890 --> 00:35:18,090 S2: do that. Yeah. 610 00:35:18,730 --> 00:35:23,020 S1: Heidi says in December of 2019, we lost our 22 611 00:35:23,020 --> 00:35:26,259 S1: year old son in January. I went back to work 612 00:35:26,260 --> 00:35:29,180 S1: and was feeling very anxious about it. When I got 613 00:35:29,180 --> 00:35:31,820 S1: in the car, I turned on our local Moody station 614 00:35:31,820 --> 00:35:35,779 S1: in Cleveland CRF. I just needed a physical reminder that 615 00:35:35,780 --> 00:35:39,460 S1: God was with me. Between the local morning personalities and 616 00:35:39,460 --> 00:35:43,180 S1: the music, I could feel God with me and a 617 00:35:43,180 --> 00:35:47,140 S1: comfort washed over me as I made my way to work. 618 00:35:47,660 --> 00:35:52,180 S1: Now that is. That is exactly what we're talking about. The. 619 00:35:52,180 --> 00:35:56,260 S1: The power of the encouragement that comes not just from 620 00:35:56,260 --> 00:36:00,980 S1: a radio station or voices or music, but something that 621 00:36:00,980 --> 00:36:04,620 S1: is timed by God that we can't do. We're not 622 00:36:04,620 --> 00:36:08,220 S1: good enough to do that, but is received by you. 623 00:36:08,219 --> 00:36:10,620 S1: And aren't you glad there have been people who've supported 624 00:36:10,620 --> 00:36:13,300 S1: us all these years? Thank you, thank you, thank you. 625 00:36:13,620 --> 00:36:16,020 S1: More straight ahead on Moody Radio. 626 00:36:20,060 --> 00:36:20,779 S13: Before we get back. 627 00:36:20,780 --> 00:36:23,660 S1: To the program, a quick note for you. This segment 628 00:36:23,660 --> 00:36:29,380 S1: includes a song that we can't play for copyright restrictions. 629 00:36:29,780 --> 00:36:39,060 S1: Sorry about that and thank you for understanding. I mentioned 630 00:36:39,060 --> 00:36:41,900 S1: those who support Moody Radio. If you support Chris Fabry 631 00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:44,740 S1: live right now, any time in the next four days 632 00:36:44,739 --> 00:36:47,859 S1: until Friday, we're sending a copy of the book that 633 00:36:47,860 --> 00:36:50,580 S1: we've talked about all month long. This is Moody radio 634 00:36:50,620 --> 00:36:55,740 S1: 100 years proclaiming the gospel, the pictures, the stories written 635 00:36:55,739 --> 00:36:59,060 S1: by Kevin Mullins and Phil Shapard, who are with us today, 636 00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:04,180 S1: as well as Doug Hastings, former vice president of Moody Radio. Phil, 637 00:37:04,180 --> 00:37:06,820 S1: there was a song a hundred years ago, they played 638 00:37:06,820 --> 00:37:09,540 S1: a song, and we've got a version of that that 639 00:37:09,540 --> 00:37:13,380 S1: was recorded in 1960. But set this up. What? Why 640 00:37:13,380 --> 00:37:15,380 S1: was this an important song? 641 00:37:15,780 --> 00:37:18,870 S3: Well, in the book, we document the fact that we're 642 00:37:18,870 --> 00:37:22,870 S3: really moody. Radio continued the ministry of Mr. Moody. Even 643 00:37:22,870 --> 00:37:27,270 S3: though he passed away 27 years before that, he had 644 00:37:27,270 --> 00:37:30,350 S3: an unconventional way. At the time of preaching, he preached 645 00:37:30,350 --> 00:37:33,990 S3: on God's love, not the fire and brimstone. That maybe 646 00:37:34,030 --> 00:37:38,469 S3: was more an example of the preaching. But, um, this, 647 00:37:38,469 --> 00:37:41,870 S3: this single concept of love. You know, there's a verse 648 00:37:41,870 --> 00:37:44,670 S3: that I like to sign with my signature, and that 649 00:37:44,670 --> 00:37:48,270 S3: is first Corinthians eight six. Yet for us there is 650 00:37:48,270 --> 00:37:52,870 S3: but one God the Father, from whom are all things, 651 00:37:52,870 --> 00:37:58,710 S3: and we exist for him, and one Lord Jesus Christ, 652 00:37:58,710 --> 00:38:04,150 S3: by whom are all things we exist through him. And 653 00:38:04,150 --> 00:38:08,870 S3: the whole idea is that through Jesus Christ we experience 654 00:38:08,870 --> 00:38:12,989 S3: the love of God and salvation and eternal life. And 655 00:38:12,989 --> 00:38:16,030 S3: that first song was I want you to Know him. 656 00:38:16,550 --> 00:38:18,989 S1: And here is that recording from 1960. 657 00:38:20,510 --> 00:38:21,270 S13: The first song. 658 00:38:21,469 --> 00:38:25,029 S1: That was sung on Moody Radio in 1926. Now, that 659 00:38:25,030 --> 00:38:28,710 S1: was recorded a few years later than that. But imagine 660 00:38:29,070 --> 00:38:32,589 S1: listening to the radio at that time. And you have 661 00:38:32,590 --> 00:38:36,670 S1: heard throughout this program, as well as other programs on 662 00:38:36,670 --> 00:38:40,190 S1: Moody Radio all this month, all of these great clips 663 00:38:40,390 --> 00:38:43,790 S1: that we have from Wendell Loveless all the way down 664 00:38:43,790 --> 00:38:48,069 S1: to A.W. Tozer and Don Cole and more folks to 665 00:38:48,110 --> 00:38:52,670 S1: the to the current day. And Kevin, there's a reason 666 00:38:52,670 --> 00:38:54,870 S1: why we can play those things right. 667 00:38:54,910 --> 00:38:57,230 S4: I know when people look at the book, they look 668 00:38:57,230 --> 00:39:00,390 S4: at all the rich detail and all the stories, and 669 00:39:00,670 --> 00:39:03,230 S4: they immediately ask, where did you guys find all of 670 00:39:03,230 --> 00:39:06,029 S4: this stuff? How on earth did you dig up all 671 00:39:06,070 --> 00:39:10,590 S4: of these facts? And the easy answer is somebody saved it. 672 00:39:10,870 --> 00:39:12,509 S4: You know, there was a time back in the early 673 00:39:12,510 --> 00:39:17,720 S4: 1960s when Christian radio was like maybe 35 years old 674 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,160 S4: and people were starting to look in the closets thinking, wow, 675 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:24,000 S4: we got to start cleaning this stuff up. And maybe, 676 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,399 S4: maybe in your relationship, do you have somebody in your 677 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,719 S4: relationship who's a saver and somebody who's a purger and 678 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,480 S4: somebody who always wants to get rid of stuff? Well, 679 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,600 S4: there was a young guy who came in in the 680 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,160 S4: early 1960s and said, wait a minute, we can't throw 681 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,040 S4: this stuff away. And his name was Perry Straw. And 682 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,439 S4: he looked at all of the yards and yards of 683 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:48,000 S4: tape and miles and miles of photos, and he looked 684 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,239 S4: at all that stuff and said, guys, we got to 685 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,399 S4: save this stuff. Someday it's going to be important. That's 686 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,080 S4: what Perry said back in 1960. And so he just 687 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,400 S4: kind of took it upon himself to put together a 688 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,320 S4: team of people that would save the audio and start 689 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,440 S4: to keep track of where everything was. In some cases, 690 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,759 S4: Perry took boxes of stuff and just kind of hid 691 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,600 S4: it so nobody knew where it was and didn't let 692 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,719 S4: him throw it away. And every time somebody asked him 693 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,080 S4: what he was doing, he said, guys, this is important. 694 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,080 S4: Some day somebody is going to want to have this stuff. 695 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,560 S4: And so I'm so glad that we can look at 696 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,480 S4: this now at our 100th anniversary, and we've got this 697 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,839 S4: book that's come out, and I'm just tickled to death 698 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,120 S4: that right here in the studio today is Perry Straw 699 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:39,000 S4: sitting back in the corner enjoying the day. And Perry, 700 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,600 S4: I just want everybody to know you were right about this. 701 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,799 S4: You saved the right stuff. It was like a research 702 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,640 S4: treasure trove. And we can tell the story today, not 703 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,920 S4: out of nostalgia or just an interest in fuzzy memories 704 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,720 S4: of the past. But you know what this is. It's 705 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,560 S4: a story of God's faithfulness. Bingo. It's a testimony. 706 00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:00,800 S13: Absolutely. 707 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,719 S1: And I have heard the story that Perry told Doug 708 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:08,239 S1: of driving in Pennsylvania. And when the satellite was first 709 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:13,480 S1: going in, in the 1980s, early 1980s, and driving up 710 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,850 S1: a hill and trying to get to the local station 711 00:41:16,850 --> 00:41:20,450 S1: and pulling it in. And he heard Don Cole on 712 00:41:20,450 --> 00:41:24,410 S1: his car radio in Pennsylvania, and he said he wept 713 00:41:24,610 --> 00:41:28,089 S1: because he he heard this voice from Chicago all the 714 00:41:28,090 --> 00:41:31,290 S1: way to where he was, and he knew something was happening. 715 00:41:31,330 --> 00:41:33,370 S1: Those were great days, weren't they, Doug? 716 00:41:33,810 --> 00:41:38,330 S2: Yeah. They were. You know, the early days of the network. Um, 717 00:41:39,010 --> 00:41:42,010 S2: I was privileged to work with the gentlemen who Bob 718 00:41:42,010 --> 00:41:45,410 S2: Neff brought in. Jim Goodrich, uh, was a station owner 719 00:41:45,450 --> 00:41:49,730 S2: out in Montana, and he had a brain for technology 720 00:41:49,730 --> 00:41:53,450 S2: and for thinking about expansion. He had really used the 721 00:41:53,450 --> 00:41:57,770 S2: idea of translators at his stations. And Bob Neff brought 722 00:41:57,770 --> 00:42:01,770 S2: him and, and Jim was probably not, uh, the typical 723 00:42:01,770 --> 00:42:04,529 S2: Moody employee at the time. He was, he was he 724 00:42:04,530 --> 00:42:07,729 S2: was a bit of a square peg in a round hole. And, uh, um, 725 00:42:07,730 --> 00:42:11,290 S2: he was my first boss here at Moody and, uh, 726 00:42:11,290 --> 00:42:17,049 S2: such a phenomenal believer, but a thinker. And he, uh, 727 00:42:17,050 --> 00:42:19,690 S2: he was the one who really got the idea to 728 00:42:19,730 --> 00:42:24,450 S2: Bob Neff. Let's, let's leverage this new technology of satellite delivery, 729 00:42:24,850 --> 00:42:28,610 S2: which would then blanket the entire country with a signal 730 00:42:28,610 --> 00:42:32,969 S2: that could serve listeners and radio stations all around the country. 731 00:42:32,969 --> 00:42:38,890 S2: And by God's grace, uh, be leveraged. Uh, I believe 732 00:42:38,930 --> 00:42:42,290 S2: Phil would Phil would let us know for sure. But 733 00:42:42,290 --> 00:42:46,890 S2: as the first Christian network to really leverage satellite technology, 734 00:42:46,890 --> 00:42:49,730 S2: and we were kind of the trailblazers, even with the 735 00:42:49,730 --> 00:42:52,609 S2: FCC and getting some things approved that needed to be 736 00:42:52,610 --> 00:42:54,770 S2: approved in order for us to be able to do that. 737 00:42:54,810 --> 00:42:55,250 S3: Yeah. 738 00:42:55,290 --> 00:42:57,730 S1: Miriam has told me how many times Bob went back 739 00:42:57,730 --> 00:43:00,209 S1: and was told, no, just like I told you, Doug, 740 00:43:00,250 --> 00:43:02,969 S1: you know, and he's not giving up. That's just one 741 00:43:02,969 --> 00:43:05,610 S1: one less know that we have to go through. Right. Phil? 742 00:43:05,890 --> 00:43:08,770 S3: Well, here's the thing. Uh, Jim would tell you that 743 00:43:08,770 --> 00:43:12,140 S3: Bob gave him a big folder full of letters from 744 00:43:12,140 --> 00:43:15,660 S3: people who wanted to hear Moody radio, like when they 745 00:43:15,660 --> 00:43:19,020 S3: were in Chicago, and he gave him the folder and said, 746 00:43:19,020 --> 00:43:21,779 S3: let's find a solution to that. Let's go to the 747 00:43:21,820 --> 00:43:26,780 S3: unserved and underserved areas of North America and bring quality 748 00:43:26,780 --> 00:43:27,820 S3: Christian radio. 749 00:43:28,219 --> 00:43:30,299 S1: Yeah, what a great day of celebration. And we're going 750 00:43:30,340 --> 00:43:33,420 S1: to talk about some of the visionaries that are around 751 00:43:33,420 --> 00:43:37,260 S1: Moody Radio now on Thursday on the program, it's we're 752 00:43:37,260 --> 00:43:40,540 S1: going to look less back and more forward.
