Positive & Uplifting
Rick is an Orange County, CA native-turned Midwesterner. Though he was not born here in eastern Iowa, Rick is no stranger to the Midwest. Even as a little boy growing up in suburban Chicago, Rick dreamed of being on the radio. After finishing school, Rick packed up his things and realized his love for radio, stopping in cities such as Peoria, Rockford, Milwaukee, Chicago, Las Vegas, and now eastern Iowa.
Rick is married to his high school sweetheart, Sarah. On the advice of everyone around him, Rick avoided drinking the water while honeymooning in Mexico. However, Rick failed to heed one important fact – wearing your wedding ring in the ocean isn’t a great idea. While boogie boarding, his ring slipped off and went out to sea. It was nowhere to be found.
Rick and Sarah have a daughter, June, and son, Marshall. Chances are you’ll find the two of them together enjoying their favorite meal of the day, breakfast, or sipping a latte at an eclectic coffeehouse.
Don’t think of organ donations as giving up part of yourself to keep a total stranger alive. It’s really a total stranger giving up almost all of themselves to keep part of you alive. If you’ve been listening to me on Life 101.9 for any stretch of time, you know that organ donation is important to me because of my battles…

We can put a man on the moon, but we’re still OK with 13% of Iowans worrying about whether or not they’ll be able to eat. We may not have the poverty rate of Philadelphia, which boasts some of the highest poverty rates in the country, but we still have a lot of work to do here in Eastern Iowa. One slice at a time… Take Mason Wartman

Have you heard this song yet on Life 101.9? We've got the lyrics and a video for you to check out, too.
I was dead in my transgressions, wandering in sin. I went searching for redemption down a road that had no end. I was walking through the fire, I was living on the run. With my flesh lost in desire, I was drowning in the flood. But God, rich in mercy, You came to save me - now I’m alive
There was a time that I swore I would never go back. I was blind to the truth, didn’t know what I had. I was running, I was searching, but every placed I turned for healing left me more broken than the last.
God, You don’t need me, but somehow You want me.
God promises to transform us into the very perfection of His Son. But this amazing process does not happen overnight; it happens over a lifetime.
Have you ever wondered what God's will for your life is? Have you struggled to pray and discern any answer?
What will heaven be like? We will enjoy our loving, smiling Savior forever! We will be blown away by all of the ways our lives intersected with His divine intervention in our lives.
