    Marching for Jesus: Bringing Our Community Together

    Send us Fan Mail 📍 What happens when people from different churches and backgrounds come together around one shared message? On this episode of Olney On Air, we sit down with the founder Verma Fobbs, Pastor Chad Edgington  and Shirley Geter with March for Jesus to talk about the heart behind this community-wide movement of faith. We learn how March for Jesus got started, what inspired the vision, and why bringing Christians together to publicly share their faith is so important to those involved. Our guests share what the march means to them personally, how churches and volunteers work together to make it happen, and what they hope people experience when they take part. We also talk about the importance of unity among local churches, reaching people outside the walls of the church, and creating an event where the entire community is invited to come together in faith. Whether you've participated in March for Jesus before or you're hearing about it for the first time, this conversation gives you a look at the people, passion, and purpose behind the event. 🎙️ Listen to this episode of Olney On Air and hear the story behind March for Jesus — and why they believe coming together can make a difference in our community.

    Olney on Air Interview with Justice Ken Wise

    Send us Fan Mail 📍 Texas history comes to life on this episode of Olney On Air! We’re joined by Justice Ken Wise of the Texas 14th Court of Appeals, but you may know him best as the creator, writer, producer, and host of the wildly popular Wise About Texas podcast. Since launching in November 2015, Wise About Texas has grown to more than 150 episodes and two million downloads, bringing fascinating stories of the famous, forgotten, and sometimes downright surprising people and events that shaped our state. Recorded at the Young County Museum of History & Culture’s first anniversary Chuckwagon Dinner, Justice Wise shares what inspired him to turn his lifelong passion for Texas history into a podcast and how that passion became an extension of his public service. We also dig into his work preserving historic court records — and some of the incredible discoveries hiding inside those old documents, including a hand-drawn map connected to the San Jacinto battlefield and a handwritten settlement agreement that helped create the Texas Medical Center. And with Young County now beginning its own effort to digitize historic records, we talk about why preserving these documents matters and what stories future generations may discover right here at home. Plus, Justice Wise shares what has kept him telling Texas stories for a decade and why he believes history isn't just something to study — it's something that connects us. 🎙️ Listen to this episode of Olney On Air and discover a whole new side of Texas history!

    Texoma Gives Nonprofit Spotlight: House of Mercy Director Preston Crow

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Olney on Air, we sit down with Preston Crow, Director of House of Mercy Enterprises (HOME), an Olney-based Christian recovery ministry with a mission that reaches far beyond traditional addiction recovery. Preston shares how HOME uses biblical teaching and discipleship to help individuals and families rebuild their lives, including a unique program that allows married couples with children to walk through the recovery process together. We also talk about HOME’s growing impact in the Olney community, including plans to transform the former Olney clinic into affordable transitional housing for program graduates and the exciting opportunity to utilize the historic Lovett House on Main Street for affordable housing and Bible studies. Preston also opens up about his personal journey, his involvement with Kairos prison ministry, and why supporting people doesn’t stop when they graduate from the program. We wrap up by highlighting two important opportunities to support HOME this year: Texoma Gives, September 3–5, including a large yard sale at 312 West Main Street, and HOME’s Annual Gala on September 12 at The Refuge, featuring brisket, a silent auction, raffles, and powerful testimonies from HOME graduates.
