“If you build it, he will come!” In the 1989 movie “Field of Dreams,” Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella heard a voice declaring that he could vindicate Shoeless Joe Jackson, if he would just turn his corn field into a major league-sized baseball diamond. The voice promised that Jackson and some of his teammates would come back from the dead…

What a fun week our media advancement team had as we met at Life 101.9 this year. As is our tradition, we spend part of our time taking in the “culture” of the market where we meet and so it was decided that I should treat my colleagues to a visit to the Field of Dreams in Dyersville. If you haven’t heard, the field now…

I can ride anything at any time…and multiple times in a row if given the chance. For you see, I am called to lead the family through…

It’s…

Driving through Kansas City this morning, I was scanning the dial looking for the new Life station that we are launching at Northwestern Media. I happened upon a sports talk station and was reminding why “Love, Hope, Family” are my radio themes of choice. Secular talk radio, if you haven’t noticed, has gotten…

Several years ago, I read about a church congregation in Seoul, South Korea that at that time had over one million members. The article I read said that the pastor that founded the church was asked what was the secret to the incredible numerical growth that they’d experienced. He responded by touting a simple yet profound…
