Radical life, what is it? What is radical life? The dictionary says as an adjective, that it means relating to or…far reaching and very thorough like radical change or radical action. Radical reaches to the fundamental and basics.
Radical Life Support is what we are calling our podcast but Rick also had a band back in the day and it was called the RLS band, Radical Life Support. Rick started the band, doing some gigs and rockin’ at churches, youth groups, high schools and people would say what is the name of what you do, what is the name of your band? The first few times he just said they didn’t have a name, they just rock and play music. 
At the time in the 1980’s the word radical was quite a popular word with young people. In California, they had taken the word radical and they had shortened it up and everything was rad. It was rad man, that’s so cool, it was rad.
One day Rick saw an ambulance go by and on the side of the ambulance it said basic life support unit. Because Rick had looked up in the dictionary what the word radical meant, it stuck out. Radical meant basic, fundamental, back to basics, elementary, it jumped out at him. So in his brain he saw Radical Life Support unit. Rick wasn’t sure if he brought it to a band meeting or if at a concert one night said, we’re the radical life support band; but eventually it got shortened to RLS band. And the rest is history. The high schools that brought us in the kids bought our t-shirts, and bought our tapes and eventually our CDs and here we are in 2020 talking about it.
So we decided to call our podcast Radical Life Support too. We want to be support for you our listeners to life a radical life for Jesus. It is really not radical ‘life-support’ it is ‘radical life’ support. We want to challenge and inspire you and have the Holy Spirit stir you inside to live a radical life for Jesus Christ. So when we were thinking about doing a podcast, that is our heart. To be that encouragement for folks. Living a radical life for Jesus is not always easy but it is worth it, always worth it.
On the first episode to launch our podcast, Rick and Robin also share a part of their testimony to let people know a little but about them. Listen and know that God is always pursuing you to live a radical life for Him.
