I sent this email to Airwaves on May 1st. Thought I’d publish it for you to read hoping you will be reminded to pray for us this summer and perhaps catch a little bit of our Kingdom vision. Enjoy. Band- As today is the National Day of Prayer, I have felt moved to pray and as it usually does, my mind has sent me reflecting and praying…

Another weekend in the early sixties. The hottest thing to hit prime time TV in this era was when the Beatles exploded on the Ed Sullivan Show. But Sunday morning? What was worth watching then? Glad you asked. On Sunday morning, me and my younger brothers Robin and Jamie would wake up in my mother’s tiny apartment and immediately…

If you think you are being pressured to put career before your role as a parent, you’re not alone. Check out this story about Daniel Murphy, the Mets second baseman.

“How do you share your faith?” Have you memorized the four spiritual laws originally created by Dr. Bill Bright of Campus Crusade and do you use them regularly in conversations with interested friends and family?

Spring training has started in Arizona and Florida and I couldn’t be more ready. In the words of JC Fogarty, “Put me in coach…I’m ready to play!” Now whether you love baseball or not, you got to love spring training if only it serves as a reminder to you and me that spring in Iowa can’t be far behind. Winter has gone on long enough, don’t…
